Conscientious consumerism and the desire to not ingest anything tortured and murdered
about 1 year ago
I’ve never liked the taste of meat since I was a baby (according to my parents) and that’s the main reason I don’t eat it. I don’t try to stop others eating it, animals eat each other in nature all the time, but I’m strongly against the battery farm chickens and things like that, they need a quality of life first! There’s no way I could ever even think about eating that (even if it tasted good), I’d feel to bad for the poor animals life that had been taken. TT__TT
As well as thinking it tastes bad, I love the health benefits that come with not eating it <3

Well, I’ve always hated eating meat ever since i can remember, i just really love animals so much that it the thought of eating them horrified me. The reason i’m a vegan is because i care about animals, and i care about my body, i don’t want to pollute it. And yes, also about equality, i hate it when people say that animals are not as important as us, thats why its okay to eat them, that is just so sad when someone thinks that way.

Well, I might as well tell you the whole story. I’ve got time [:
Around July last year, I stumbled across a “Meet Your Meat” video, & I decided to watch it. I was shocked, angry and absouetly disgusted at what they did to the animals. It was just wrong, cruel and totally unesscerary. A few nights later, pasta with meat was cooked, and I couldn’t eat it. I started to eat a mouthful but ended up running for the bin (literally) and spitting it out because I seemed to have had flashbacks from what I saw in the M.Y.M video. Seeming that my mum has been a vegetarian for 30 something years, she was fine with me becoming a vegetarian. So in July last year, I became a vegetarian [: And then February of this year, I became of Vegan.
I became a vegetarian/vegan due to I’ve always loved animals but was too blind to the fact of what is happening in factory farms & slaughter houses. Someone told me “pigs get electrotuced and that’s how there killed,” until I watched something with Jamie Oliver and saw how they stunned the pigs, dragged it across the floor and slit it’s throat – I cried for ages. We CAN survive without dairy and meat, and dairy actually helps cause osteoporisis and meat is a big cause for heart disease and stuff, so besides the fact that 1. I don’t want to support animal cruelty. 2. It’s wrong, and unnessceary to kill animals & 3. It’s so much healither and it defiently takes a weight off your shoulders knowing that you’re not contributing to the squealing of the pigs or the machines been chained to the cows udders, vegetarianism and veganism is the way to go. I, can’t stop this, and so many people can’t, but we’re doing what we can.
Animals deserve to have a life. They feel, see, love & so many other things just like us. Just because they can’t speak up about what’s happening to them doesn’t mean that it’s right to kill them.

well i was a pesceterian for a year and now i’ve been a vegetarian for almost two years.
i am for personal morals. i feel: what have they done to deserve to die? live?
i always thought it was wrong for an animal to suffer for my snack. also, i would like to be a vet when i grow up and, for some reason, i think it make sense to be a vegetarian if you’re a vet. ha.

Well, I happen to be an ethics professor, and am also a long-time (mostly faithful) vegetarian who is moving to only local, cruelty-free dairy & eggs (I live in an area with a lot of small farms) and giving away my fur and leather jackets, and committing to not buy leather products anymore.
This is mostly due to reading two books:
Fast Food Nation, by Eric Schlosser &
Eating Animals, by Jonathan Safran Foer
The first showed me that not only is the food industry’s treatment of animals horrific, but it’s treatment of human workers is abominable as well–from migrant farmers to slaughterhouse workers to fast food employees.
The second emphasized the cruelty done to animals including FISH (surprise to me), that they feel pain and suffering more than I had known, and that incredible animal and plant life is unnecessarily wasted in the production of most of our food.
I’d very much recommend reading either or both these texts if you’re exploring these questions.

First: Six years ago, I noticed that, as much chicken went bad due to being an occasional eater of such, it made sense not to waste that food.
Second: Many laypeople debate there is no comparison between fulfilling one’s dietary needs (protein, namely) in eating meat, versus eating legumes (pinto beans, etc). The fact is, meats are rich in protein, which helps. But, there are drawbacks.
Our sympathetic nervous system sends much of the blood present in our bodies from our brain (useful in controlling our thought process) to our stomach lining to help our gastric acids start breaking down muscle (in the meat) into protein (our body takes up as our own muscle). When much of our blood leaves our brain to enter the stomach lining, we feel light headed (drowsy). Second this sluggishness arises in part to the attention your body pays to your recently digested meat.
Let me share something with you. Scientists have proven that a meal consisting a large amount of white meat takes up to 24 hours to fully digest. fish reportedly takes less time than that. A large side of Beef (e.g. Wellington) takes as long as 48 hours to break down and process. But, wait….here’s the clincher:
A comparative meal of 8 ounces of pork can take as long as 96 hours (that’s 4 whole days!) to process completely; this means that Sunday meal of Bacon and sausage sits there in your stomach thorugh Thursday. Which might make someone less willing to be physcially active (or any kind of active, for that matter), making one even lazy.
Animal rights hardly impacted my decision. Instead, it’s wondering about what an animal has eaten. Whatever a slaughtered pig ate the 24 hours prior to slaughter is what you get to eat when you eat that pig. Compare this with the nutrients present in a plant or legume you eat.
After a while, you can tend to eat what your body agrees with. I prefer to feel light and right. This vegetarian choice benefits my appearance, as well as my outlook and awareness.

I am vegetarian in the process of becoming vegan.
I did it because I saw some things about how the animals are treated in factory farms and slaughterhouses. I was horrified. I love animals, so it really depressed me that people could be that heartless… Then I learned how it’s also better for the environment, and that it can be healthier if planned correctly. I researched and found out that animal products aren’t actually as good for us as they try to claim, and that we don’t need it to survive (or even thrive, for that matter) once I found that out I decided I couldn’t live with myself if I continued to support that kind of completely unneeded cruelty. I’m so much healthier and happier on this lifestyle, I’d never go back :]
