🏥 Eating less or no meat and dairy significantly reduces your risk for heart disease (#1 killer in US), cancer (#2 killer), diabetes, and obesity.
🍌 plants have ZERO cholesterol. Nada. Americans have a huge issue with high cholesterol. And yes, we do need some cholesterol however our bodies naturally produce all that we need.
🌿 Vegans DO get protein. We get plenty of protein from eating a variety of veggies, fruits, grains, seeds, and nuts. Americans also are consuming too much protein. We do not need as much as you think.
💪 Think vegans are weak?! Check out @the300poundvegan and tell me he’s weak. We are perfectly capable of gaining muscle. And what about elephants, rhinos and gorillas? They are some of the strongest land animals in the world. What do they eat? PLANTS.
🍝 Vegan food is “boring” or bland?? Tell me, what do you have to put on meat to make it taste good? A bunch of seasoning and sauces, made from.. PLANTS. Many think all we eat is plain jiggly tofu and lettuce.. NO. Check out @veganfatkid and tell me what he eats looks boring or bland.
🍞 The grain fed to livestock could end world hunger. We breed billions farmed animals and how do they eat? We feed them tons and tons and tons of grain.
🌲 91% of rainforest is gone. Gone where? We have cut it all down for animal agriculture. Bye bye beauty and hello pollution, CO2 emissions, and global climate change :) (watch cowspiracy on Netflix)
🍼 Think we NEED milk from a COW to get calcium? Really? We are the only species to drink milk from another species. And the only ones to drink milk through out adulthood. How is that not sick??? If I said I drank monkey milk, or rhino milk, you’d think it’s disgusting. What is the difference?! You are not a cow. Cow milk is cow milk. For baby cows. There are tons of plant sources that contain much more calcium than cow milk. We were just told enough times that it is normal and okay. It’s not. (Also go ahead and look up what’s in your glass of milk)
🐓 Eggs? Just like women, chickens shed extra (U fertilized) eggs during a “period”. That’s what you’re having for breakfast. They aren’t embryos or baby chicks, they’re are simply hen periods. Yum!
💊 how do you think they keep animals from getting sick when they’re stuck with each other in dirty feces filled environments? They pump them up with antibiotics! 25 million pounds of antibiotics are given to farm animals. This is the reason why many times when us humans get seriously ill and are given antibiotics, they don’t work! We have built a resistance because of how much meat we consume!
🐄 Think animals are being killed humanely? Think about those two words together a couple more times. Killed. Humanely. Is there REALLY a way to slaughter humanely? No. If I went up to someone and fed him some grass, let him run around freely, and took a bolt gun to his head, and said hey it’s okay because I did it “humanely” would you think it was okay? No it would be murder.
🍴One big stereotype of vegans is that we are extreme. Think WE are extreme? Not killing innocent animals and caring about the environment is just so extreme! Oh man! We aren’t the ones eating hen periods, drinking COW milk, and slitting throats. I think that’s where things get a little extreme.
👪 another thing people think, is that vegans are limited to one type of person. Many think we are “crazy hippies” or think we see ourselves as elite. That’s not the case. Veganism is for all types, races, sizes, sexual orientations, genders ect. All it takes is a heart and an open mind. We genuinely care about the planet, animals, and everyone else.That’s it. We simply care.
