Ethical Reasons:
- You shouldn’t eat animals for convenience
- You shouldn’t take a life because you like how it tastes
- Farm animals and marine life feel pain and DO NOT WANT TO DIE!
- You have to artificially inseminate cows/goats so they produce milk
- Dairy cows get their baby calves stolen from them for veal EVERY YEAR
- When male chicks are hatched at egg farms they get thrown into a grinder
- All marine life gets caught in nets including dolphins, sharks and whales
- This means we are losing vital marine life for “seafood”
- Why do we love cats and dogs, but eat cows and pigs?
Health Reasons:
- My energy levels have increased dramatically
- My skin cleared up almost instantly
- My digestion has gotten so much better due to eating fibre rich foods
- There is no need to restrict calories on a HCLF vegan diet
- Dioxin, one of the most toxic substances IN THE WORLD is found in dairy products (Freedman and Barnouin, Skinny Bitch)
- High dairy intakes blocks iron absorption (Robbins, Diet for a New America)
- You eat all the hormones and pesticides that the animals are fed
- Meat, dairy and eggs are extremely high in saturated and trans fats
- You are literally eating DECOMPOSING FLESH
- Eating chicken or fish is linked to colon cancer (American Journal of Epidemiology)
- NO FIBRE IN ANIMAL PRODUCTS = CONSTIPATION YUCK
- Dr Anthony Youn - eggs are almost as bad as smoking: eating 3-4 per week may harden arteries leading to stroke
- Large eggs contain 210mg of cholesterol (8x more than COW meat)
- Vegan proteins may reduce the risk of cancer, obesity, and CVD by promoting increased glucagon activity (McCarthy, 1998)
- Disgusting pus in milk (called somatic cells) -> 180 MILLION somatic cells in an 8oz glass of milk. Pus is a response to an infection e.g. a pimple. YOU ARE DRINKING PIMPLE PUS
- SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE REVERSED CHRONIC DISEASES WITH A VEGAN DIET
- Meg Wolff reversed cancer, Robert Dew reversed heart disease, Natala Constantine reversed diabetes (Kathy Freston, Veganist)
Environmental Reasons:
- The business of raising animals for food is responsible for 18% of global warming (Veganist)
- Animal agriculture uses 30% of the land surface on the planet (Veganist)
- It takes 10 times as much fossil fuel to make one calorie of animal proten vs one calorie of plant protein (Veganist)
- Methane gas from animal agriculture is 25-100 times more damaging than carbon dioxide (Cowspiracy)
- UN: Animal agriculture is the leading cause of resource consumption and environmental degredation
- Raising livestock JUST IN THE US uses 34 TRILLION gallons of water (Cowspiracy)
- This is because the animals you eat, need to eat water intensive grains
- One McDonalds quarter pounder needs over 660 gallons of water to be produced, this is two months worth of showers.
- If overfishing doesn’t stop, we will see fishless oceans by 2048 (Cowspiracy).
- Marine life does not recover quickly, and the nets used are so big they can catch whales, dolphins and other marine life.
- An acre of rainforest is cleared EVERY SECOND (Cowspiracy)
- The leading cause of this is to graze animals and grow their feed crops
- Palm Oil is responsible for 26 million acres being cleared, however, livestock is responsible for 136 million acres being cleared, making it the leading cause.
- The Amazon rainforest could be GONE in the next ten years.
