3,6,7 and 17 :)

3. What's your favourite meat substitute?Tofurkey! I love it i think they're the best. I love their deli slices and esp a torfurkey loaf or w/e theyre called its sooo good. Gerdein is also sooo good holy shit

6. If you were to try and persuade someone to go Vegan/Vegetarian by showing them just 3 YouTube videos, what would you show them and why?Honestly if i were to show someone ONE video to persuade them to go vegan its this one right here.  This is just taking the blinders off, it’s the biggest eye opener there is. If you still believe animal oppression if okay after this you have to be extremely naive or extremely heartless. It’s been 4 years since i seen it and it sticks with me every damn day. No doubt the most impactful documentary i have ever seen in my whole life. Second-  It’s lighter and easier to watch so not as powerful exactly since it doesn't show as much animal abuse. But still very powerful. Pretty much destroys any argument for animal exploitation one can think of.Tbh i dont watch many vegan videos anymore since i started? Those two are the only ones that ever stuck with me all these years. But there is a vegan youtube channel i want to recommend for vegans and non vegans (x)7. What's your favourite Vegan/Vegetarian meal and what's the recipe?i dont have many recipes off the top of my head? Uhm smoothies are my fav tho they make me feel so happy. The best is mango + Banana + strawberries + coconut sugar + dates + vanilla soy milk = best. The amount of each depends on ur taste.17. Put these in order of most important reasons to go Vegan/Vegetarian to least- For the sake of the animals, for the sake of the environment, for the sake of finance and for the sake of your health. Why did you choose this order?Sake of animalsEnvironmentHealthFinanceVeganism is about animals. It’s literal definition is about stopping the exploitation of animals from the start. It’s not even a “reason” for veganism. it IS veganism. It’s like saying a reason for environmentalism is the environment. no... that's not a reason that's what it is.The environment is everything we need it to live. Meat and dairy consumption is destroying our world and killing us all slowly look whats happening in california (yes i know the nestle deal but theres more too it than just that)Health the most personal thing. some people just don't care about their health and that's fine by me its up to them .but god health is so important. it affects how you feel and there's a huge difference health wise between vegan on non vegan. i felt it. you feel so much lighter its crazy. Finance because process of elimination tbh

part of me is optimistic and thinks that post has people questioning their own actions and realizing the hypocrisy of eating meat amd claiming to love animals. Then the other half is realistic and thinks that the post has people just going "lol i support killing animals even tho i say i love them xD relatable"

I'm sorry if this is asked to you a lot but I've been vegetarian almost my whole life and I wanted to go vegan but I have no idea how to transition have any tips?

Well i don't know about you personally. But for me going vegan overnight was the best way. It's better to just rip the band aid off. You could go slow if you think that would help but personally the slower the more painful. It also leaves room for giving up and procrastination so be careful doing it that way. Really it depends on your life and how  you handle change. Replace all your favorite non-vegan food with vegan versions of it that will help a lot. Buy a recipe book if you can or just look up vegan recipes of your favorite food. Going really vegan was really fun for me to be honest! There's so much food you probbaly never tried before because you were so limited to just animal products (again maybe not but that's how i was i just lived off of cheese and shit like i never tried tofu before going vegan). Good luck!

i love talking about the history of veganism tbh like. did u know vegetarianism used to be the term for what veganism is today? a vegetarian was someone who live purely off vegetation. over time it skewed off to eating animal products too and people were like this is hypocritical we still contribute to using animals wtf? then Donald Watson was like ok we shouldn't be doing this but vegetarians aren't gonna change lets just start a new term then and "Vegan" as we know it today was born!  He chose the word vegan  "because veganism starts with vegetarianism and carries it through to its logical conclusion."

sorry if it sounds like a stupid question but is honey a non vegan food? (i'm trying to go vegan and honey seemed like kind of a gray area to me)

It’s a very common question. There’s a page that has it all compacted here. But to put it simply, veganism is against exploiting animals for human usage and bees are animals.
