How I caught the veganism

Veganism, it can be a divisive topic, but it's one I'm quite passionate about. But first I want to try and lay to rest some possible fears: Firstly, I do not judge anyone for their choices, wether you eat meat like sausage maker in reverse or if you eat the rawest, gluten free-est, whole foodiest diet, I'm cool with everyone and we're all owed our opinions. Secondly, I'm aware there's a stereotype that vegans are attention seeking (how do you find a vegan? Don't worry they'll tell you) but I promise I try not to be and I try not to make a big deal of it, even though I am aware I'm writing a blog post about it. Thirdly, I'm not an activist and I'm not writing this to convert people, it's just the thoughts and opinions of one guy. So, how did I become vegan? Well my friends became vegan first and so I laughed at it and made LOTS of jokes and then I watched Earthlings. My friend had asked me to watch it with her and I agreed even though I wasn't sure about how I'd react. Earthlings is shocking and it worked on me, I love animals and seeing them in that state made me question things that I had held as fact for years. Since then (roughly a year ago now) I've done my best to be vegan, I'm not perfect and I don't think anyone is, I have eaten things that contain animal products because I've misread a label or my friends made cupcakes and I've simply wanted one, but that's ok, for me veganism isn't about being perfect, it's about doing as much as I can to stop my actions from hurting another life. But more importantly, why did I become vegan and why have I stayed vegan? Well the truth is at first I wasn't going to be vegan, I was going to go buy the most ethical eggs I could or maybe keep my own chickens and having honey but only from a local beekeeper. There was no sudden well I'm vegan now, instead I knew I just wanted to do what I felt was right and take it in my own time and that just became being vegan and meant my views on it were formed over time as I thought about it more and read more. The conclusions I've come to and am going to self-righteously spew here are: in the modern day everyone should be doing something to reduce how much meat and/or animal products they eat, for example if you really don't want to stop eating meat just eat a bit less, try having a vegetarian day and buy meat from local places and if you think you can be vegetarian, great, if you can be vegan, even better. Just try to do something, not just for animals but for the environment too. It is impossible to be 100% vegan and cruelty free, so don't try to attain perfection, just do as much as you can. Something you buy may have been tested on animals no matter how much you researched it, something you eat may have an animal product in because you didn't notice, or the server at a restaurant didn't understand and most people have to shop in a supermarket that gets a lot of profit from animals. It's ok just do as much as you feel you can. And the best ways to change the world on a day to day basis are to shop at more shops and use brands that are against animal cruelty (like the body shop and lush), so the company's start to think that that's where the money is. Company's won't change if we're apathetic and protests and laws can take time, so give them your money still, just give it to the right place. And to educate people, but in a rational non aggressive way if they want to talk about it. People won't change if you shout at them, but they might stop and think if told things are actually pretty bad, but the way I live isn't as bad as you thought. Naturally I get asked quite a lot of questions about my lifestyle, some serious, some joking, some reasonable and some plain stupid. So I'll answer just a few of the more prevalent ones. 1. What about protein? Well while everything is constantly shouting about how much protein we need, the truth is we don't need tonnes and tonnes like we're told and there are plenty of plant sources that are more than sufficient, such as beans, chickpeas and tofu. 2. How will you get the right nutrients? Simple, I'm getting more nutrients than ever before. When I ate meat and dairy and eggs, I relied on those as my food sources, so I really wasn't getting anything good anyway. But when I went vegan, what I ate was completely challenged so I looked into things more and started to eat more healthily. But saying that I have spent the last week eating junk food, so I'm not always healthy. 3. Don't you miss anything? Honestly, at first I did, for the first few months I craved scrambled eggs and cheese and I still want chocolate sometimes, but for the most part no I don't anymore, simply because I've gotten used to the way I eat now. Plus there's a vegan substitute for everything these days. 4. Can you eat *insert food here*? •if it contains anything from an animal (dairy, eggs, meat, honey etc), no. •anything else, yes. 5. And the ever popular, but what about bacon? Yeah I used to like bacon, but when you see food I see a little piggy and I don't have the heart to eat babe. So I think I'm going to stop here because I don't want to go on too long and get all ranty so you stop reading, but I may carry on later on. All I want to say really, is that veganism is actually really fine, it's pretty good actually, so why not try looking it up a bit, I promise it can be interesting and there's some great documentaries and websites out there. And I know I said I wouldn't try to convert you, but, well...

Ridiculous rant below I’m on mobile ________________________________________ Goddamn vegans can be so fucking dense. If you’re going to be vegan great, good for you. Don’t force it on your infants or pets!!! Are you just the least informed person on the entire planet?!? How could you NOT know that both carnivorus animals like cats and dogs need meat? How could you not know that?!? How could you NOT know that infants need breast milk or formula?!? Do you honestly think people just give animals and infants these things for fun??? Apply some damn logic to your life and do some fucking research before you shove your lifestyle on beings that rely on YOU for sustenance!! I’m freaking tired of hearing about these ninnies who are killing their children and Pets because they’re too lazy or too belligerent to use Google and look up the nutrition requirements for infants and carnivorus pets!!

#damn vegans #tw: infant loss #heard an awful fucking story about vegans who killed their baby because they were feeding it apple juice
