When I decided I must be vegan I had already been going without meat, several years. I was glad thinking I did not contribute to harm to animals being used for meat. I was wrong as I did not know more about it. I learned when online and found communication about it that there were all these issues, all of them. I did not stop caring about issues to animals, but knowing all the issues, except, at that time, about the healthiness of a way without animal crossing, which I would have wanted, mattered, as I saw. So I made efforts to be vegan, and have been now for the last twelve years. I only found there is the very healthy way, which I started using, earlier in the year back in 2016.

I would hope for connection with others who are vegan here. I see many are seeing my posts labeled to vegan who are not themselves vegan. So I give information through posts that relate to being vegan and that it is of importance.

 

The abuse and slaughter of animals is a primary reason for any to be vegan. But there are the environments being ruined with animal agriculture, so there is environmental reason to take being vegan seriously. Likewise with all the more resources being used for animal agriculture, and all the water, and all the land, for it, and there is the contribution to emissions associated with climate change with the warming of this planet. Having just all whole food from plants is also very healthy for us. Being vegan is done for the animals but all these things as more reason make a strong argument for it. And I found it is not hard at all.

Why consider that? I am busy but manage to come here about this one time in the week. I really want others to see they should be thinking to be vegan. If they need answers, I will be back by the next week to respond to them. Some do just need that help. Yes I do gather information for sharing.

 

Animals should not be going through the abuse for what any of us would have. Why should not any care to have the healthiest way, which could be learned, that would be without contribution to any of that? Many continue on for their preferences even with it possibly being shown as inconsistent with their values or their thinking. That is unfortunately too common, though it was not in my own experience. Being vegan is not hard, there are easy ways to become vegan, I know about this. This Mango Chickpea Salad is refreshing, crunchy and perfect for summer.

I eat great burritos and sandwiches, and cooked meals with cut up vegetables along with whole grain pasta or else cut up potato I have, adding a few nuts and seeds, with a really great sauce I like with using hummus and some medium salsa, I use La Victoria, and seasonings I like to add. Everything I've been having for over nine years, after several years being vegan already, is with whole foods from plants and not adding things otherwise like processed stuff. This is very healthy and really helps against some serious health problems common for others.

 

There can be thought for change in living for the sake of abused animals, the great harm to the earth, the greater use of resources, and even a better healthy way possible for any of us that is not costly, with not using animal products still. There are ways not really hard to do that, with finding alternatives that will really be liked. I know some things I really like very much and will stay this way gladly.

 

Whole food plant-based eating is indeed healthy, and I have had this way nearly a decade, though I have been vegan longer. I notice the benefits. Animal agriculture is contributing more to problems in the world including loss of environments and extinctions of species. Why need animals kept abusively and slaughtered for what we would still have from them?

 

Studies are not showing animals do not feel pain, but to the contrary, any being used do. Rather than deal with the cognitive dissonance it is better for even just mental health to decide to avoid the contribution to suffering with just choosing nothing taken from animals for what to have or to eat. And the extinction rate of species is related to food choices, that alone gives very great reason to not use products from animals anymore. Of course there is the healthiest way without products from animals when avoiding processed stuff that gets added in things, I have tasty meals with this way.
https://www.biologicaldiversity.org/programs/population_and_sustainability/food/ Really it is about finding other things as alternatives to eat which you really love having, especially any that are healthy. Treat yourself to those often. You can then pretty much forget those things that you saw good reason to give up. I have gone through a number of changes that included this way, it's been working really well.

It's the demand for animal products that continues the use of animals with their slaughter for those. Veganism turns from that demand. With there being crop deaths we may choose ways for that to be less. Veganism has less crop deaths than crops for continually feeding the animals being used for the demand for animal products. We can grow some of our own food when possible, too. If we do, crops do not make as much sense. They attract pests. But plants used for food growing just among other plants are not attracting the insects or small animals that crops would. Plants for food can be mixed among any other compatible plants.

 

A diet that is vegan consisting only of food from plants excludes all animal products. It focuses on fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, and seeds, and can have all necessary nutrients when well-planned. All we need for healthy food that is enough for us is really all from plants, of course it does not exclude vitamin supplements, such can always help anyone.

Being non vegan is not causing less crop deaths. duh

 

My diet heavy with potato, celery, cabbage, squash, cucumber, and beans and peas is not having contribution to so much crop animal deaths that feed for the animals used for the meat and dairy demand is having, regardless of what some others claim about what is caused from veganism. Those ones are willingly blind to what there is from them.

 

Animals are feeling sentient beings, there is worse effect to environments and the world with animal agriculture and there is much more water, land and resources used, and it isn't even better for our health. So we in our modern society do not need any of the things from animals. There is no good reason for people to not know about this, so all this should be communicated. People decide what to do themselves, and hopefully they will the right way.

The methane contribution is a serious issue, to really consider. We can't stop out own gas emission. But, as all the cattle use, which are bred that much for the demand, contribute a whole lot more to gas emissions contributing to the climate change, there are choices for us to not contribute as much.

 

There is no way I will consider any animal or any animal tissue being grown for meat. I chose the way I would continue with being vegan, a dozen years ago. I eat just food derived only from plants and nothing but plants. I learned quickly how to have meals I really like a lot. I do not even have any desire for anything other than the food there is from plants. I think still, anyone can come to this.

Really new vegans might say they miss cheese, or maybe something else. Generally there are addictions to certain substances among those to get past, but it fortunately does not take long. Find vegan things you really like to have about as often instead, those really should be healthy things, not just processed stuff. I found I could have a really great sauce that I like so much in my cooked meals almost all the time, with putting some hummus and some medium salsa in them. I use La Victoria, and I add good seasonings I like, but do not add salt to anything. And for other things I would sweeten I use something other than sugar, where I am, bone char is used to filter them so the sugar is not vegan, unless it is a brand verified as vegan, now I generally use agave nectar. Gelatin is from animals too.
