Social media platforms have become crucial for influence campaigns, from activism to advertising, sometimes leading to the perception of vegans as misanthropists and veganism. Despite the strength of arguments for veganism in animal rights literature, environmental and anthropocentric concerns posed by vegans are often misunderstood. People often moan about vegans, but research shows that only drug addicts inspire the same loathing. Contrary to views that reduce veganism to a contemporary fashion statement related to personal health or identity, the decision to boycott animal products has major implications. While many people still see veganism as an extreme cultural practice, it is clear that veganism is not a political or religious issue. Neither veganism nor vegans are referred to in official government counter terrorism policy documents, but innocent, law-abiding vegans have been caught. Future work could assess whether vegans/vegetarians are more susceptible to eating choice-based conspiracies and determine if they are more susceptible to eating choice-based conspiracies. In January 2020, an Employment Tribunal in England held ethical veganism to be a philosophical belief and protected characteristic.

Do doctors recommend going vegan?
Research indicates that plant-based diets can improve health and reduce the risk of various diseases, with a study showing a 23-fold reduction in type 2 diabetes risk. A vegan diet consists of fruits, vegetables, beans, grains, nuts, and seeds, and excludes animal foods like dairy, eggs, and honey. About 3 of Americans follow a vegan diet, with some reasons for this ranging from health benefits to animal welfare or environmental protection. While vegans can enjoy some benefits, there are challenges to consider. Ultimately, a vegan diet may not be the right choice for everyone, but it can provide significant health benefits.
Is veganism a protected belief?
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) both provide a framework for vegan rights. The UDHR states that vegans are equal in dignity and rights, entitled to equal protection without discrimination. Article 18 grants vegans the right to their belief and manifest their belief in teaching and practice, which is particularly important for veganism.
Article 22 provides vegans with social and cultural rights essential for their dignity and free development of their personality. Article 25 ensures a standard of living adequate for their health and well-being, including food, medical care, and social services. Article 26 grants vegans the right to a vegan education, and Article 28 provides a social order where their rights are respected and provided for.
Signatory nations can state specific understandings and reservations against the articles of human rights covenants, such as interpreting the Article 18 right to freedom of belief in line with Islamic Shariah or restricting it to traditional religious beliefs. However, some nations interpret the Article 18 right to freedom of belief very widely, providing protective rights for both religious and secular beliefs equally.
The ICCPR also provides a vegan interpretation of rights, stating that a state must respect human rights without distinction. Article 2 (a) requires states to do whatever is necessary to give effect to the rights of vegans if they have been violated.
Article 18 explicitly states that nobody should be coerced into a belief not of their choosing, raising questions about the power of non-vegan societies. Contracting states must ensure education conforms with parents’ wishes and convictions.
In conclusion, the UDHR and ICCPR provide a comprehensive framework for vegan rights, with each country having its own interpretations and restrictions.
What is the theory behind veganism?
Veganism is a philosophy that aims to eliminate all forms of animal exploitation and cruelty, promoting the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans, and the environment. It involves a plant-based diet, avoiding animal foods like meat, dairy, eggs, and honey, as well as animal-derived materials, products tested on animals, and places that use animals for entertainment.
The Vegan Society supports individuals on their vegan journey, whether it’s due to beliefs in farmed animal practices, environmental concerns, or simply to avoid farmed animal practices. The vegan lifestyle is a common practice among vegans, promoting a healthier and more sustainable lifestyle for all.
Is Arnold Schwarzenegger vegan?
Arnold Schwarzenegger adheres to an 80-vegetarian diet, which has been demonstrated to reduce his cholesterol levels. His diet primarily consists of eggs, salmon, chicken, veggie burgers, and protein shakes, which provide him with the necessary protein. In terms of occasional indulgences, he partakes in steak, hamburgers, and Austrian wiener schnitzel.

Is there any good argument against veganism?
Veganism is a controversial topic due to its historical and cultural significance. It is argued that humans have been eating meat for around 2. 6 million years, and that animal protein was crucial for early hominids’ brain development. Food is a central part of human cultures, and if the world went vegan, iconic cultural traditions like bolognese sauce, tandoori chicken, sashimi, currywurst, and Peking duck would be lost. A balanced diet, including moderate amounts of fish, meat, and dairy, along with fruits, vegetables, and pulses, provides essential vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids.
While vegans may have a lower risk of heart disease, they also have a higher risk of strokes due to B12 deficiency. The health benefits of veganism are unclear, as it is unclear whether they are primarily about diet or a broader lifestyle, such as increased exercise, non-smoking, and moderate consumption.
Does PETA advocate for veganism?
PETA, a vegan organization, encourages veganism in its volunteer opportunities and workplace culture. The organization’s action team encourages everyone to go vegan, as the best way to help animals is not to eat them. In terms of talent acquisition, PETA prohibits any animal-based items in its offices or events. Hiring and firing based on a conflict of values has become increasingly popular over the last five years, with notable examples including former Paramount TV President Amy Powell being ousted in 2018 for using racially charged language, which the employer deemed “inconsistent with company values”.
Is veganism backed by science?
A meta-analysis of 11 studies found that a vegan diet improved glucose management more effectively than a conventional diet, including those recommended by the ADA, AHA, and NCEP. In the eighth study, vegan diets were found to be as effective as the control diet. The study involved 832 participants and included 11 studies of vegetarian diets, seven of which were vegan. The studies lasted from 3 weeks to 18 months and examined total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), non-HDL cholesterol, and triglyceride levels.
What does Gordon Ramsay think of veganism?
Ramsay has frequently expressed criticism of vegan menu items, often utilizing social media to evaluate the viability of vegan substitutes for traditional dishes such as vegan pizza and vegan steak. His critiques frequently employ humor or sarcasm.
Who is behind veganism?
Veganism is a philosophy that rejects the commodity status of animals and prohibits the use of animal products, particularly in diet. It was first proponented by Al-Ma’arri (c. 973-1057), Roger Crab (1621-1680), Johann Conrad Beissel (1691-1768), James Pierrepont Greaves (1777-1842), Lewis Gompertz (1784-1861), Amos Bronson Alcott (1799-1888), and Donald Watson (1910-2005). The term “vegan” was coined by Dorothy Morgan and Donald Watson in 1944. The symbol used to denote a vegan-friendly product is the ‘V’ symbol. A person who practices veganism is known as a vegan.
Is there a negative to being vegan?
A vegan diet can lead to nutritional deficiency, as certain nutrients like vitamin B12 and taurine are not found in plants and can only be obtained from meat, eggs, and dairy. The body’s accustomed nutrient absorption system changes rapidly when transitioning to a vegan diet, with 28 of vegans experiencing nutrient deficiency in a survey. However, there are ways to combat this, including planning daily meals and nutrient intake, and incorporating plant-based foods into your diet. By doing so, you can ensure a healthy vegan journey.
📹 VEGAN 2022 – The Film
Time is running out to get a grip on the climate crisis, but governments are turning away from the truth and refusing to take action.
Someone close to me said they loved animals. When I challenged that person, who eats an omnivore diet, they said they tolerate the cruelty when it’s out of “necessity.” To expose the deep and profound suffering inflicted on innocent animals and our one and only planet is what I would call an absolute “necessity.” I became vegan, my kitchen, my closet, my mindset, 5 years ago. perusal this amazing documentary I asked myself “what took me so long.” Thank you for showing the world the truth so many don’t want to see.
Urgent subject! Went vegan 6 years ago when in our late 50´s and 60´s. If we can surely, most other people can. As so many has said, it opened up my eyes to the cruelty that I had shielded myself from in order to eat animals. Three reasons not to eat animals and animal products: health, environment and compassion for our fellow creatures.
Fabulous film. I managed through…and broke apart at the cattle tears. I went ovo-lacto as a teenager…and vegan later as an adult. It’s been such a battle for so many years. I find it so good that so many are now looking at things with opened eyes. Thank all of you involved with the making of this film.
The mix of hope and despair after perusal your annual documentary somehow only gets more and more extreme over the years. The hope grows, but so does the despair. I really admire everyone who has the spoons and eloquence for advocating for veganism and I am grateful for each and every voice that is loud and annoying the status quo out there! Thanks for not letting the rest of us biedermaier ourselves in!
Positive change is indeed happening, my friends. I just watched a speech by Peter Singer, and having been vegan since the 1970’s he has a longer perspective than most of us. The speech highlights many of the positive things that has happened in education, in science, in the public opinion and even on the market. I went vegan in 2016 and the change I have seen in this time is astounding. Of course, I would like for things to change even faster, but we have to remain patient yet focused on the mission at hand. Until every cage is empty!!
This one just made my day. I’ve been vegan for going on 23 years now since I was 25. I work in natural health, selling supplements and working to point people, including the companies whose products we sell, to move to plant-based. With the recent keto and carnivore movements and products like collagen everywhere, it is frustrating. This article shows even more how much progress we have made, but also how much we can still make. Vegan for life, people!
I’ve been perusal your annual vegan roundup for years and now really look forward to it! It does sometimes seem a little hopeless, but when I think of the progress that has been made even in just the past five years or so, it’s quite heartening. And anyone who is interesting in astrology or vibrational energy knows that many people are predicting great changes in the coming year, so I am now already looking forward to Vegan 2023!!
I went Vegan this year. I’d like to say it was about concern for animals and the world but honestly it was all about my health issues that drove me to a Whole Food Plant Based diet. Once I made that step, with it’s clean break from animal food products, carnism lost it’s hold on me and I finally bowed to the necessity to going Vegan. It’s shameful that I went for a decade or more knowing the full cost to others of eating meat but doing it anyway but I finally got here. By the way, going Whole Food Plant Based (No salt, oil, or sugar) has gotten me off 4 prescription medications and allowed me to drop 110 pounds in 9 months. I was astonishing to find out how BAD meat was for me! You can’t see what it’s doing to you until you get off it. I’ve really appreciated the work of this website and this was another fine product. Please keep up the good work.
Vegan for the animals (first and foremost), the planet, and myself in that order for 11.5 years. Thank you for producing these films every year. I hope more and more watch, learn, and CHANGE their carnist habits to save the planet for all the kids out there (childless by choice over here), for all the animals who just want to live, and to help create a more peaceful place for us all to live. PS: no shade on people who want children… just not my jam. Thanks to those raising vegan and compassionate children!!! 😄💚🥬🐖🐮🦬🐑🐐🐓🐣🐳🐬🦭🦈🐝🌎
Thank you for this Film! And it’s free. Thank you thank you! I wish Vegans would focused as much attention as to the animal suffering and climate crisis as to the health benefits. Most non vegans that are on the fence don’t cross all the way because they fear malnutrition. The public needs to be better educated about this protein deficiency hoax. Other then that, BRAVO! And THANK YOU. I WILL SHARE THIS article TO EVERYONE I KNOW.
Thank you for making this wonderful film. I really enjoy perusal these every year. I recently had a friend convert to plant based eating which I’m so excited about and she’s now perusal all of your films. Please continue your amazing work and I’ll keep working on my local area to raise awareness. I’m definitely not quiet about how awesome this lifestyle is and I hope that by leading by example I can encourage others to give it a go. Go vegan 🌱💚
Brilliant film! There are so many reasons to be vegan. Protecting animals from suffering, protecting ourselves from drug resistant super bugs and protecting our climate from catastrophic change are the biggest. Can’t understand people who have their head buried in the sand and won’t change “because it’s always been done that way” it really hasn’t been that long since factory farming started destroying all three!
Thank you Plant Based for continuing to battle for our beautiful animals 💚 I’ve been Vegan almost 4 years and I’m 57, best decision I’ve ever made for mind, body and soul ! I can’t understand why anybody still eats animals 😮 anymore so I’ll always be here too for our animals with no choice or voice thank you ALL Vegans and future Vegans the future is definitely VEGAN 🌱
I struggled for two weeks trying to be vegan, but family birthdays came up. I watched Dominion, found your website, and kept researching, so now I have no problem being vegan. I will get flack from people, but that’s their problem. I can’t be a part of torturing living beings any more. I want to be an example of good health not an example of ideals to my family.
I work at a vegan Vetenarinas, and we know why we all there are vegan. Thank you all for this short movie. Being vegan is not a trend or a diet, it’s a life of a human having high moral standard toward all living Being on Earth. And it’s healthy doing it right. Love to all vegans and those willing to change 🤗
Thank you for doing this. For enlightening the world. I started being vegan in 2019 and did so well for 2 years, but because of depression, i started eating some animal products again, like eggs, honey and even sometimes fish, i always felt weird when doing so, blaming the stressful life and food industry for my behaviour. This documentary, again, helped me open my eyes to what being vegan really means. To me, being vegan is about love and compassion. And that is my goal. To be a loving caring and compassionate human to all beings.Thank you!
Thank you, we so need to help the world to hear this so important message… Keeping the passion alive to create change is a must for all Vegans… Love, peace harmony are the new solders for the better world… We need more artiste to sing about this.. Raise the vibration of the matter of this message..
This movie makes me so glad that I’m plant-based! I’ve been eating this way since 8/1/2017 and now the idea of eating animal corpses nauseates me. I’m 68 y.o. and get compliments about looking much younger often. Dr. Greger says that you can try it for 30 days and see how you feel. For me, the answer is so much better!
The oldest biome on the planet the tropical Brazilian Cerrado, like most biomes is suffering deforestation at an alarming rate much more than the Amazon rainforest. The cerrado biome is the second largest in South America, it is home to some of the largest fresh water aquifers, with wide range of plant base foods some of the most nutritious and terapeutic on the planet is shame it is hardly known.
6:19 “I can guarantee if you eat plant based for three days your stomach will feel better” This is actually not true in some cases, any immediate drastic changes to your diet will cause minor temporary digestive issues. This is especially the case if you eat as shitty as most people do and go from eating zero fiber to easily reaching your full daily value in a given day. If you’re a full blown meat eater making an overnight switch, expect to have extra gas for a couple weeks. I’d recommend a slow transition over a month for most people. Gives you more time to work on learning new vegan recipes as you transition.
A brilliant article, explaining all the facts in one 30 minute article. Very well done to everyone involved. I am 4 years vegan for the animals, and raising my 5 year old vegan too. Boy are the stats on the way we farm animals and the effect that has on the future of our planet, and our health (particularly in terms of antibiotic resistance) is frightening. I hope this article makes a lot of people who have not yet transitioned to a plant based diet really think about their food choices because we can’t continue like this. I am excited to see how technology is going to transform the way we eat. I think 2023 is going to be a good year for vegans!
Keep up the great work Klaus. Really well done! I’m glad you highlighted the propaganda, and misinformation from people such as Pierce Morgan and so on. We need to address people like that head on and bring to light what they are saying and how wrong it is. By not addressing it, it could reflect fear, or uncertainty. Glad we have people like you, and of course people like Ed, Joey.
Thank you very much for this article. Always enlightening and a great summary of the year passed on the mainstream information on veganism. Just a thought for the future: as an engineer (mechanical), I see little engineering featured in the discussions – and it is a technology enabler and a very clear discipline to transform issues into figures and solutions. Food engineering is poorly explored yet by vegan activism and I feel engaging them can make as massive a step as was done on my area for EV’s. Thanks again and best of luck!
i don’t know way not everybody want to save the animals from the hell they been put. but i want the people to stop and think about that. most people have good in them even for the animals to. they can’t say something for you to understand. it’s your choice to open your heart to theme. science and technology can give new Pat’s to go in theme, but without the heart i”m not sure it worthy. i believe in the human heart to want to have real mercy for the animals.
The world is turning into a dystopian nightmare. Wildfires, droughts, rising sea levels. Countries run by big companies. The rich getti g richer with every crisis while more and more people fight for bare survival. I read an article that overpopulation is not the driving force of climate change. But then what? More people = more CO2 emissions. More ressources like water needet. Water that is running out. I eat plant based. I am carfree. I only buy second hand clothes. But I think the best two things I can do is reject capitalism whereever possible. And stay childfree. I don’t want to force an innocent child into this world. We are already 8.000.000.000 people. We won’t extinct by shrinking the population. And the problems that come with a shrinking population are easier to overcome than a population that is fighting over shrinking ressources on a planet with less and less secure places to live. I don’t buy the “we can easily feed 10 billion” lie. Life is more than the bare minimum of calories.
I’ve been Vegetarian since 1975, vegan for the past 10 years. I have known what this movie is trying to tell people all that time and it was hard at first to not say some thing. The most important thing to talk about is the truth. The health benefits of eating a healthy vegan diet have been known for decades by the American medical association and other groups and individuals. Personally, I don’t care what you eat. I only care what I eat. But everybody should know this: WHAT YOU EAT FORMS YOUR BODY AND THE ENERGY IN YOUR BODY. Mostly people talk about the taste of food, not the effect of food. When I tell people of Asian dissent that I am vegan, they ask oh, are you a Buddhist, because in their country Buddhists meditate, and to meditate properly you need to modify your diet to have only Satvik foods. If you don’t understand what I’m talking about, it doesn’t matter, you can experience it wether you understand it or not. It’s up to you. I fully understand why people don’t want to be told what to do, and especially not told what to eat. 🍎🍌🍓🌽🫒🥗🥔🥒🌮🥦🥞🥙🧃
As a french guy who became a super isolated ovo-lacto vegetarian in 1998 wihtout knowledge or support and took TEN YEARS to become a vegan (because I didn’t even know about the concept back then!), I suggest going straight to veganism and getting vegan friends right away. =) Reduce the eggs and dairy phase to the minimum or go straight to 100% pure plan diet. It’s simpler. Great documentary. France still has a long way to go… I became a vegan the day I met vegan people and joining a demonstration in Lyon, in 2008… =) One of the best decisions of my life. Getting a vegan lover (or a lover that accepts to go vegan) is a challenge.
8 years vegan now and it honestly feels like the world came to me by creating ethical and environmentally sustainable alternatives!! I have said for years that when veganism succeeds, there will be no more veganism. I think that time is just around the corner. I am proud that I had the conviction to stick to my principles even when it was both unpopular and not always easy to navigate!! Lab grown meat, and dairy (or cultivated if you will), plant/fungi based meats, and clean meat companies in general will do more for animal and climate justice than all other vegan efforts combined. This is somewhat unkind, but nevertheless true, that most people are like the livestock they eat, they follow the herd. Very few people have the ability, the insight, and the will to think for themselves, nor the courage to swim upstream. Thankfully we don’t have to wait for the herd to catch up, we’ll just make it so cheap, delicious and easy to do the right thing, that they will.
Thank you for doing this Great job promoting awesome knowledge! Went vegan a year ago: – weight lunged -10kg, to my ideal 70kg, for age and height – cholesterol went from bad to good – blood pressure normalized. No drugs. BUT: you have to do vegan right – whole food/grain, no processed food! It can be tricky and not that easy.
I am coming back to being a vegetarian after 2 years of stopping being vegan (there was way too much external pressure and being autistic and pregnant for half of it, my body would have been malnourished from the food restrictions I’d have had). I am trying to check how to get a balanced plant based diet so I can move to veganism by the end of the year ❤
I’ve been vegan nearly 2/3 of my natural life and have never regretted it. Doing one’s own ‘veganism’ scientifically (or at least with the counsel of the relevant sciences, filtered or customized by vegan MDs and other practitioners) can be helpful. There are benefits to plant-exclusive diets, but for individual health it’s not a panacea. One still needs to or ought to practice wisely (not foolishly), and there are plenty of IMO foolish distractions in the marketplaces, vying for consumers’ attention. Some of these ‘stats’ MAY related to what an optimized plant-exclusive diet could be expected to yield (other things being equal, which they never are). But driving out gratuitously to buy recreational foods or to visit one vegan eatery after another does add a harm that might not otherwise have existed. But we CAN ‘do veganism’ simply and neatly – by choosing ONLY plants in the grocery stores. And start with the food (rather than with the ideology).
so this is an odd beginning – I bought a leather jacket because it reminded me of my late father who would carry me around as a child inside of his leather jacket. The fact that a lamb died to clothe me (and the christian pun isnt lost on me) made me eat less and less meat over time – instead of buying chicken I bought tofu. I realized I was vegetarian after a few months of this, and then when I found out cheese was an addiction I had, leading me to binge at night – well, im a sober christian vegan now and it kinda was to survive. I used to eat so much fast food, smoke cigarettes, no spiritual code of conduct, alcoholism, drug addiction- Plants are an expression of how God loves us, he even made our foods beautiful. He made the foods to help protect us from our temporary mortal state- when disease and pain and suffering exist. Also, this is really just about responsibility and practicality. It takes too much toll on the environment for meat to come the way it has. If you don’t own and slaughter your own animal, you just get to eat plants. Sorry about it.
I have Type 2 Diabetes. Last year my doctor put me on a program called VIRTA Health. This company is associated with many doctors all over the US putting their diabetes patients on a Keto diet with the supervision of Keto specialists and nurses. For me it was awful, I didn’t like it at all. I was getting tired all day and waking up in pain and swallowing arms. Why do Vegan doctors and nurses don’t create a company like VIRTA but with a Vegan diet? That way we (Diabetics) can have more options. Thank you!
As an Indian I now know why our grandparents ate meat once in a fortnight or a month and their diet was mostly plant based. Hindu festivals forbid meat on those days. Today KFC and likewise irresistible foods are available next door 24*7 to feast everyday. Anything extreme causes imbalance environmentally. Let us go for moderation in our lifestyle including food, especially food.
at my job I’m the only vegan 🌱, and what’s fascinating is that some times co workers will just have a competitive conversation about who’s the sickest. ” I have high blood pressure, I have heart problems, I can’t eat this because my gut and stomach issue” and I’m just standing there listening. Then they look at me and say ” man your lucky to be young and healthy. You don’t have to deal with this”. I just say oh hell nawh, I put work in everything I do to not be you guys. I look 25 e en though I’m almost 40 because I. Work out and am vegan. I don’t have joint or heart problems because I’m vegan and yoga. Don’t diminish my hard work on oh your young. They always ask how they can start I tell them ways they can start veganisum give them resources and I work with them if they need any help. But still choose to stay sick ….smh sad
I used to body build and believed I had to eat lean red meat and chicken breast and drink whey protein to maintain my muscle mass. I was also into spear fishing, fly fishing, and hunting. I grew up working on a hog farm for several years. I’ve driven animals to a stockyard to await slaughter. To me these things were normal and I thought some were even necessary. I transitioned to a plant based diet over 7 years ago to increase athletic performance. That was my only real motivation. It was egocentric and selfish. But as I learned more I cared more. I started looking back at the choices I had made and slowly realized that every time I did harm to an animal it was unnecessary. One of the best days in my life was the one on which I realized that I had lived for months while not supporting animal cruelty and death. I realized that I couldn’t totally do no harm. But I could live my life without intentionally doing harm. Now, years later, I am no longer plant based. I am a vegan. And the hardest part about being vegan has always been seeing so many people who aren’t, in the face of overwhelming evidence as to the harm we cause when we use animals like property. They most definitely are not something. They are each someone. But I also believe that we will ultimately pay the price for what we have done and the society we have become.
I was vegan once for two years and quit because I couldn’t stand the social pressure anymore, being the only vegan I knew and being the star of the freak show every time who became the topic of every single social gathering I was ever a part of. I was weak back then and I went back vegan recently If anyone also would like to have vegan friends even if just online, please write! I’m the only person I know who even thinks about it and though I’m stronger now, some fellow thinkers would be nice 🥺
This is the second time I have become vegan or as I prefer to say WFPB. I was vegetarian for 23 years before I went vegan the first time. I was talked into eating meat after going vegan but it wasn’t me and I suffered health issues such as high blood pressure and tophaceous gout as a result. I returned to being vegan but this time only whole food and with a little medicinal help for my gout the tophi dissolved. I am now not on medication and I feel better both mentally and physically.
Please, whoever is reading this, be a voice for animals. We, more than ever, need vegans to speak up! Use anything in your power, your voice, your time, money, or career to end speciesism. Speciesism is the root cause of all oppression, and we’ve taken it to such extreme level that it impacts our own environment and climate. Don’t give up, if you can’t find hope, be one.
I’ve been mostly plant based for 4 years. The number one advice I have for anyone thinking of going that way is stay away from food products that pretend to be meat, cheese, etc. Most of those products have tons of unhealthy oils to make up for the fats you would be eating. I mean technically, potato chips and oreos are 100% plant based, but are you going to feel good after eating them? NO! Don’t think you can feel full or satisfied eating plant based? Eat more starches – they’ll fill you up with good energy! Try a big plate of brown rice and tex-mex beans. Eat three bananas in one sitting. Mono-meals are gentle on your digestive tract. The typical “ideal” macros are way off. Try for like 80%+ carbs, 10-15% protein, and 5-10% fat calories at most. Use a tracking app at first, until you get the hang of it and just intuitively know what kind of calories you are taking in. Don’t forget, because your body will naturally regulate to a healthy weight when you eat like this, you can have a few beers each week without worrying about getting a gut! Vegan? Nah… I love leather. Save the planet? Nah, I just want to be healthy.
I became vegan when I was 12-13… that was almost 20 years ago ❤ I have had a period where I started to eat meat / eggs – because of cultural pressure ( I felt ). It lasted about one year – Comparing how I felt … I just cant imagine eating meat my whole life and finding it normal. I am so happy to get my fuel from plants ❤❤❤
Молодцы! Очень хороший документальный фильм! И конечно же, страдания любого существа уже являются причиной не становиться соучастником жестокой погибели, но если кому этого не достаточно, те должны знать, что ради них, даже те жестокосердные барыги и их одураченные рабы, кто обеспечивает трупами их столы, холодильники и прилавки, не станут ради них уничтожать единственную планету (райскую), с которой никого не выпустят, чтобы уничтожать следующую, как настоящие паразиты! Грех, жестокость, преступление обречено на погибель, на строжайшее осуждение, изначально!
Nice to see a bit of positivity, when I think of peoples reactions to veganisum I tend to think of the negative, and although this definitely touched on that it also showed the good. It gave hope. The overall feel was good, thank you it’s nice. The news and life in general is all doom and gloom it feels, we all need a bit of hope and to feel like there’s point sometimes
Your information about veganism is very good, I am just perusal it and I wanted to share it on facebook. HOWEVER, I just heard the mention of contraceptive methods (most of them are okay) as an example of a techno-ethical advancement, and on the picture there is a woman holding a poster demanding also an abortion on demand. Ugh. 🙁 I feel frustrated now. I would like to share the document, but I CANNOT share anything mentioning abortion as an example of an ethical advancement. Did I get it wrong? I hope I did.
