[@glong86]

@@chalky_white That's what a vegan diet does to a young boy, stunts his male hormonal development. And unfortunately because he hasn't even reached puberty yet the effects might not be reversable.

When she said "duh" it reminded me of her being Cher from Clueless.

[@ANonyMouse627]

I don't mind the veganism, but in her book she suggested people feed their cats a vegan diet. Please, for the love of an animal DO NOT DO THAT! Cats need meat. That's not kind at all.

[@vgloveforlife]

Cats also need the outdoors, yet many people deprive them of that.

[@1029blue]

Cats might enjoy being outdoors, but they can catch all sorts of diseases, including FIV (which they can then also spread), and become seriously injured or die. That's not exactly kind.

[@fabfourfever674]

I completely agree. I'm mostly vegan (transitioning after a lifelong omnivore diet) and I have considered giving my cat a vegan diet. However, I have a number of issues with that: most glaringly, that it would make me a *hypocrite*. The whole tenant behind a vegan lifestyle is the *objection* of having an animal's will imposed upon, yet I'm going to impose *my* will upon my animal due to my personal ideology? Um, NO. The other thing, cats are obligate omnivores and must have meat. There are cases where a vegan diet has been successfully implemented on cats, BUT, not without a lot of careful planning and monitoring. Sorry, but my extremely limited budget doesn't allow for the expense of vegan cat foods, supplements and extra trips to the vet. Good on Alicia if she can manage it and make it work. But then, she has the money. The other thing, male cats have an especially hard time on a vegan diet. They don't do as well as females, so why take the risk. As for the argument that we shouldn't "own" cats by some vegans, we DON'T. We have been gifted to be their *guardians*.. As such, we provide food, shelter and most of all, LOVE. I see nothing whatsoever wrong with this. Frankly, I've never known ONE domestic cat who was allowed to live outdoors who DIDN'T have its life cut short. Sorry, but that's not happening to my baby, and I refuse to feel guilty about giving him a diet based upon his biological needs. Whoops.. Sorry I wrote so much! 😳 xx

[@sallyrice3902]

Yep. Not ok.

[@KibbityKabbit2]

I don't necessarily think it can't be done properly, but most people can't afford the resources to monitor that diet for their pet. Also, veganism shouldn't be about controlling animals & that goes into what they eat. My cat has shown interest in some of my vegan foods, but she still likes her meow mix very much. So I won't disrupt what she's already comfortable with.

If she's so concern about her health she needs to quit smoking . Smoking isn't good for the animals and the planet. She looks awful without makeup. Google Alicia Silverstone without makeup , and you'll see. She needs to quit smoking before she tells people to go vegan.

For all the people making jabs at her child, you're despicable. Most children behave this way at young ages. They have short attention spans, say silly things, make silly faces, & sometimes forget their table manners. Stop being so mean to kids, especially when you're not even parents.

[@DancingSpiderman]

[@kirstalamm6971]

I care about animals & reforming the food industry, but I think vegan diets are too restrictive. There are people who treat their animals well. And unless you are careful & diligent about taking supplements, regularly, you will not get everything you need from a vegan diet.

[@cassondralynch6342]

I love her and appreciate her activism and her approach first and foremost. She's not critical and overbearing. That said, she does come from a place of everyone needs to be vegan. We are all different and have different needs. this isn't f'ng rocket science. It's like politics. Blue and red go after each other rather than the pig politicians (no pun). How about we don't try to recruit meat eaters but all focus on factory farms. Something that no one's ok with that isn't a psychopath. While I don't wanna see bambi killed this is where we can unite and agree to some extent I would hope. Ethical slaughter and we're all f'ng dying anyway and no vegan isn't the healthiest for everyone nor practical.

[@robmoore2625]

Happy cows, happy chickens... and happy corn fields? I wonder how many sentient lives die each year in just 1 hectare of corn field. When you find the answer to that question, then you might wake up and start eating meat, for the animals. 🥩🍗🍖🦌🐮🐂🐃🐄🐷🐖🐗🐏🐑🐐🦃🐓🐥
