My parents used to feed me with “dead” food but my family is vegan now because I showed them the example how to live healthy, happy without eating damn shit and believe shitty doctors who’s got sponsored by animal industry. Go Vegan, we can change the way how the future will go to.

And these films make no profit whatsoever I’m pretty sure, because it’s free on KZbin, so what bias do they even have? And you see you tubers online going to random slaughter houses, all of them are disgusting, cramped, and the workers treat the animals like trash. So how do you explain that? They went to 100 different slaughter houses and chose the worst one to show to their audience? That’s a stretch. And I’ve seen animal abuse in my own house and my neighbors, so it doesn’t surprise me that these slaughterhouse workers with shitty lives treat the animals like crap, because they lack empathy for anyone because they feel betrayed by society, and take out their hate on animals, because they can get away with it.

I’ve had similar experiences. I was 5 when I saw fishermen drag a net full of fish on the shore. I burst into tears and had nightmares for days after. Same when going to the butcher, it felt like going to a horror room. Still, my parents would have never let me not eat meat at that age. We also watched documentaries about lions eating gazelles and zebras. So I was fed the “circle of life” bs. Fortunately, now there’s research to back up how being vegan can be the healthiest diet on the planet. So now I can align my morals to my actions. Veganism is the best thing for the planet, for the animals, for our health, and for our conscience.

@@lindaliriel but a problem is like how do I start? Like- I've grown up in a household where meat and chicken is practically the centerpiece for everything What would you recommend?

[@lindaliriel]

@@mayathecrackkidz6922 ok, uhm... 1.Food: first I kind of need to understand your starting point, as in are you still living with your parents or have you moved out & have access to a kitchen you can prepare your food? If you cook I would recommend trying different pulses and legumes and see which are cheapest/tastiest/most easily available where you are (your family and friends will give you grief with "BUT PROTEIN" so if you say you eat peas, chickpeas, lentils, beans etc that might help reassure them). There are some good vegan channels and websites with lots of amazing recipes (I love Bosh! and Peaceful cuisine, but they are the tip of the iceberg, there is a whole world of recipes.) if you like I can pass you some revoltingly easy recipes for lazy days. Eating out: Whenever going to a new restaurant you haven't tried before, give a look on their menu online if possible, or if not then give them a call the day before to make sure they can accommodate you with something you like the sound of. Keep in mind many countries have a high percentage of vegans & vegetarians, especially for religious reasons, so a lot of ethnic restaurants have vegan dishes, such as Indian, ethiopian and Eritrean restaurants. Even japanese and chinese cuisine usually have quite a selection of vegan stuff (avocado maki and vegetable tempura come to mind!). Depending on where you live, you might have fully vegetarian or vegan restaurants nearby. 11 years ago I knew of none, now there are 2 vegan bakeries close to my home, so keep checking. Clothes: vegan clothes can be cheap or costly, much like normal clothes. I don't know what style you like but there are many brands that have animal-free clothes, including vegan wool substitutes such as fleece. Dr martins, for example, has vegan shoes. Cotton is vegan so you might have a lot more vegan clothes than you think. I don't recommend throwing your old non-vegan clothes, it's a waste, so either use them to death or, if you feel the need, donate them to friends, family or to charity. In the meantime explore the market, and remember to watch out for leather inserts. BIG RULE be patient with yourself. If you make a mistake, don't beat yourself up. Every day you are trying to be vegan is a day you are trying to be a better person.

[@lindaliriel]

@@mayathecrackkidz6922 a good transition tool might be some mock meats (gardein stuff etc). I personally don't use them a lot but they are an occasional treat, however some can be great while others might taste like cardboard so you would have to experiment. Plant based milks come on a plethora of options, I like to use different ones for different purposes (hazlenut milk for chocolate cake recipes, soy milk for homemade mayo, unsweetened almond milk with porridge etc). Different brands have different flavours, so have fun exploring the vast selection! If it is available where you live I recommend Alpro, particularly the coconut rice milk and the almond one.

Then I became a radical feminist and realized, just as Joaquin said in his Oscars speech, that I was supporting the rape industry. I now believe that no woman can call herself a feminist if she eats dairy, meat, or eggs because they are all based around exploitation of the female reproductive system. Farmers are the same as Republican forced-birthers. Well, 2 weeks in and I feel like my mind and body are in sync, I feel more spiritual, not guilt because I am no longer supporting cruelty.
