thoughts on veganism? poll

[Veganopia]

definition of “veganism” as:
"A philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of humans, animals and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals."

The manufacture and/or development of the product, and where applicable its ingredients, must not involve, or have involved, the use of any animal product, by-product or derivative.

Animal Testing

The development and/or manufacture of the product, and where applicable its ingredients, must not involve, or have involved, testing of any sort on animals conducted at the initiative of the company or on its behalf, or by parties over whom the company has effective control.

Genetically Modified Organisms

The development and/or production of genetically modified organisms (GMO) must not have involved animal genes or animal-derived substances. Products put forward for registration which contain or may contain any GMOs must be labelled as such.

Kitchen and Hygiene Standards

Dishes that are to be labelled vegan must be prepared separately from non-vegan dishes. As a minimum surfaces and utensils must be thoroughly washed prior to being used for vegan cooking. We strongly recommend that a separate set of utensils be procured for this purpose. Be aware of the risk of cross-contamination from non-vegan sources in your kitchen, and take all reasonable practical steps to eliminate this.
Go vegan.

Don't tell me what to eat and I won't tell you what to eat. Nuff said.

Also, you may want to spell check some.

[Galloism]

Well, I get sick if I don't have either meat or eggs every few days, so I'm not a huge fan of veganism as you might imagine.

But hey, if you want to do that, your body your choice.

[Sanctissima]

Stupidity, but to each their own.

Welcome to NS, Vega. I'm glad you brought up a new topic. But you might want to frame it better instead of copy-paste words. You've provided a definition but nothing really to discuss excet a few phrases that may or may not be part of a copied article. (I don't think we can point to polls and say "discuss that stuff". Don't quote me on that.)

What's your opinion, Vega? Always good to add that to your first post so we know where you stand in the argument. Do you practice veganism? If so, for what reason? Do you think everyone should practice it? Why or why not? Questions like this frame a discussion and give us something to consider, and perhaps debate.


I'm Buddhist, though my form of Buddhism doesn't practice veganism. We do believe in humane killing for food. (We don't believe in killing for nuisance, such as a spider on our wall.)

[Banana-Industrial Complex]

The greatest thing ever.

[Cuprum]

You are free to eat whatever you want but please don't be like those cow vigilantes in India.

So, I take it hunting is alright. What about say, your hiking and are beset upon by a rabid coyote? Is it alright to kill it then? What about the mercy killing of wounded animals?

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

I've been considering it for myself for some time mainly because cutting meat from my diet has proven great in helping me manage my aggravated anxiety disorder. Don't here wrong, I have no problem with eating meat. It tastes good. But for my own mental health, veganism, or vegetarianism are perhaps the way to go for me.

[United Libertarian Republics of Columbia]

I don't care what you eat, nor should I. If you wanna eat nothing but plants, go ahead, just don't shove your beliefs down my throat.

[Joymark]

Why is everyone so concerned about vegans telling them their beliefs? Not that I'm saying they should I'm just saying you have the luxury of just ignoring them, unless you know you subconsciously feel guilty about eating meat...

Maybe.u didn't eat enough calories. U can get more than enough nutrients on a proper vegan diet. Fruit veggies beans nuts seeds grains mushrooms. Nut butter. Dates. Avacado.

[Washington Resistance Army]

Veganism is dumb and meat is good.

[Gatito]

This poll is just a tiny bit subjective.

I'm deathly allergic to mushrooms. As in, I will literally die.

I also don't absorb most vegetables very well besides. Most all plants I eat pass through completely undigested. Fruits and algaes seem to get digested all right.

Hunting is not alright if it's not for survival. It's OK to kill a rabid coyote for selling defense if it is attacking u. Mercy killing is fine only if they r incurable.

Get digestive enzymes eat more raw fruits vegetables nuts seeds. Maybe talk to a plant based nutritionist and dietian about it.

I was asking in regard to his beliefs.

[War Gears]

As a farmer, I never want to kill my animals and mainly practice vegetarianism (though I do eat fish occasionally) but never saw the point of veganism. Besides enjoying eggs and dairy products, I don't see the point of keeping farm animals if we don't receive at least some benefits from them, especially based on having to feed them and clean up after them.

They feel guilty and don't Wana change don't want their bad actions pointed out.

[36 Camera Perspective]

I'm a vegetarian. If we were all vegans, that'd be easier on the environment, and probably healthier. But to each their own.

Did that when I tried back in the day.

Nuts, most vegetables, and most seeds pass through me completely undigested. And mushrooms cause death. Enzymes didn't do much either.

It is handy in a way though. I can eat a salad the size of a Prius to get full and I get approximately zero calories from it. Downside is I'm hungry again in an hour.

Probably for the same reason a lot of people don't like being preached to by those with other beliefs. Simple, don't force your beliefs down my throat.

Hardly.

Can't speak for everyone, but I definitely don't feel guilty about not being a vegan.
