[@gabizunigaa]

This made veganism look bad. I can assure you that giving this lifestyle a chance is not at all even close to this. The first step in becoming vegan is getting educated on it and being open minded.

[@gabizunigaa]

***** lol, no it's not. It's the healthiest diet one could possibly follow. I would suggest doing some research on it if you'd like.

[@gabizunigaa]

***** unhealthy things? Do you have any clue what you're putting into your body when you consume meat and dairy? It's actually quite sick.

[@AlopochenAegyptiacus]

+NimbleBlood If humans are carnivores, then how come they get arteriosclerosis? I was under the impression that carnivores are imune to it.

[@H3lloKayla]

+NimbleBlood Please stop being sooo bloody closed minded. I was vegetarian from the time I was 12 until 24 and I became vegan in the beginning of the year. My blood tests are perfectly fine and I know people who haven't eaten meat their entire lives and they are healthy. Also to quote someone "When you go to a hospital please find me a ward that's full of vegans". Most people with all the major illnesses such as; diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol all eat meat. Even cutting down meat consumption increases your life span, that's why Japanese people live longer because they eat minimal meat and mostly vegetables so you can imagine that a vegan diet is even healthier.

[@fancymeows5846]

***** I think you mean atherosclerosis. :) Build of up fat in the arteries. Arteriosclerosis is the hardening of the arteries as you age... which I'm sure would also be lessened through a high carb vegan diet as you'd be lovely and hydrated all the time. :D

[@Laurmins]

LMAO they live in la there's like vegan restaurants and stores at every corner 😂😂😂

[@jogaile705]

exactly. it's like vegan heaven. you can go to the store and buy vegan chicken.

[@rosalinarodriguez7397]

There is hardly any vegan restaurants. You need to go to special markets in order to get any vegan food

[@Soo_Hyun]

+Rosalina Rodriguez LA was literally the vegan mecca lol. Bev hills area.

[@milkandcookies4721]

True 😂😂 where I live the only type of milk they sell is cow milk

[@micky230598]

I don't understand why they don't give them meal plans or teach them a few recipes. Every time they do something like this they complain and hate it because they don't do it properly.

[@miat789]

micky230598 I completely agree with this. These videos would be so much bette did they shared some recipes they were taught.

[@spazzy_j650]

Or give them a vegan coach or mentor to help guide them for the thirty days to give them meal recipes that they would love.

[@Max-ww6uj]

but you know, I didn't get that when I started with veganism. I think it's mostly lack of research that is the issue

[@felixxdenolo6793]

Yea the Asian guy needed some legumes asap if he felt weak that’s what I do then have a veggie fruit smoothie way faster than putting together a salad 🥗.

[@GabyTeeMUA]

You guys need to redo this! You're in LA, there are so many amazing vegan places like gracias madre and cafe gratitude. They made being vegan seem miserable when it really isn't.

[@beautylover9862]

"I'm constantly tired and I think it's cuz my body's lacking protein" please, if anything he's probably lacking calories

[@TheUchihaRin]

IKR?! or they are experiencing various withdraws i guess

[@caitlingriffiths6831]

Exactly!! If your tired that is because you're not eating enough or not eating the right things, its definitely not due to eating a vegan diet. Protein is not the main provided of energy anyway so that wouldn't be the reason.. However its not their fault they think that way, these are the ignorant views drilled into people by society and the meat and dairy industries.

[@purplebubbles3324]

+Caitlin Griffiths yeah

[@Cuhsidy]

The vegan diet is to blame,Carbohydrates makes you full. Once you have a high intake of carbohydrate rich food,It would make you stop eating hence causing the probability of losing out on some nutrients or maybe calories.

[@adlerfresseLP]

or lacking in brain cells

[@vivian9432]

Literally spaghetti is vegan guys get it together it's not that bad

[@ThePinkgirly1]

But it can't have parmesan, or any meat, or any cheese sauce like alfredo in it. Spaguetti without cheese is sad spaguetti. Nobody wants sad spaguetti...

[@vivian9432]

+ThePinkgirly1 u r life is sad spaghetti

[@micheleiraci2301]

+ThePinkgirly1 but what if I hate cheese to begin with because cheese is actually nasty

[@ThePinkgirly1]

Then you can be vegan. I was planning on becoming vegetarian. I can't let go of cheese. I love it...

[@vivian9432]

+ThePinkgirly1 same but I was just making a point

[@jaythe90skyd49]

They should have chosen people mentally open to veganism or at least a plant-based diet. Its never going to work for those that are already closed off towards it or have their mind pretty much made up to what they think its about.

[@Truecrimeresearcher224]

And they live in LA. I live in a small city in upstate NY and I could be totally vegan but im now vegetarian. Its sad that a small town ny person can be pretty much vegan with no whole foods or trader joes. Yet the ones in LA cant even do it

[@miippi]

They dont really choose people to do this, the people in this voluneered. So technically these were the people open enough to do this experiment.

[@mollygrace3068]

So they waited until the last day to ask their vegan coworker for help?

[@shaunpichu7220]

'I'm constantly tired and I think it's because my body is lacking protein' More like not enough calories

[@KaylaRene]

Exactly what I said lol.

[@jogaile705]

[@jemimabrennen2580]

Buzzfeed needs to do a "People watch Earthlings for the first time" video!! This does not show what veganism is at all..

[@brandipityha9457]

+Jemima Brennen Dont eat meat, or anything to do with animals... Pretty much covers "veganism".

[@jemimabrennen2580]

Brandon Padwa No.. Veganism is about understanding why you're choosing not to et animals and they byproducts and why you don't wear animal skins and use makeup and other products tested on animals. It's about their well-being, about the environment and the people. Veganism is not just a diet, it's a stand against violence.

[@brandipityha9457]

Jemima Brennen Except for the part that not all items that use animals are so said "violent" towards them.

[@jemimabrennen2580]

Brandon Padwa Care to mention some of those items?

[@brandipityha9457]

Jemima Brennen Honey off the top of my head. Also eggs, since the bird is never alive to actually feel pain.

[@jazzy9359]

[@danielb.165]

+Becky Carlson "vegan meats and cheeses" this sentence is in every horror story I've ever heard.

[@LightTruthLove]

+Becky Carlson Vegan meats are NOT good for you whatsoever, nor are processed carbs which is ALL rice and wheat. Read a bit more about nutrition before giving people poor information.

[@hannah0576]

+LightTruthLove you're so wrong hahahahahahahha take your own advice and inform yourself before giving people poor information :)

[@LightTruthLove]

hannah tarra Tell me then O wise one how I am "so wrong" Tell me about the health implications of vegan fake meats and PROCESSED carb consumption long-term??? (I'm VERY interested in your analysis of this) If you're one of these vegans who say fat is bad for you and eggs raise your cholesterol then don't bother replying lol.

[@NR-lc8we]

They did veganism so wrong and were disrespectful about it.

[@yakovgolyadkin]

Seriously. The title for this video should've been "4 people who have no concept of how to eat vegan properly complain about it for a month."

[@Kattykat49]

How were the disrespectful about it? They didn’t like the diet. You can’t expect someone to enjoy the same things as you

[@degener8kid328]

Kattykat49 I think she thought It was disrespectful because they went into it being completely negative and not really trying/ taking it as a joke. Yes taste differs from everyone but I feel as if they didn’t even try, maybe if they put a little more effort and a more positive aspect they might of liked it

[@DanielleChristiansS]

Kattykat49 They were disrespectful about it because they went into it with what seems like zero to very little knowledge of vegan food options and didn’t take advantage of vegan restaurants or vegan cooking. They were all sad that they couldn’t have ice cream when there’s tons of amazing vegan ice cream options at most grocery stores. Ben and Jerry’s has vegan ice cream flavors. Like Peanut Butter and Cookie which is literally amazing and I’ve tricked many people with it. They never would have guessed it was vegan. Being vegan isn’t just about eating fruits and vegetables and beans. There’s so many options. So many. And these people complained about being hungry. If you do veganism properly there’s no way you’d be hungry all the time.

[@rustyshackleford4076]

N R veganism is disrespectful

[@Julietpd]

I thought becoming vegan would be really hard because i loved cheese and chocolate but their are substitutes for everything and it hardly effected me.

[@nickwerstler5512]

Buzzfeed should redo this and not actually make it half assed...there is so mucb you can eat as a vegan and their trainer lady was terrible at making it seem even somewhat appealing..

[@emmilittlemuffin]

I actually went vegan bc I'm severely allergic to dairy but my lupus and RA were both out of control. After going vegan my breastmilk supply nearly tripled, my 8 month old son is in the 90% percentile for height and weight respectively, so obviously the quality of my milk is great, my joint pain has lessened enough for me to go off of my meds and use yoga and heating pads to maintain, and my lupus is in remission. After losing a kidney at 15 and being in so much pain I couldn't get myself out of bed or use my hands at all I was desperate to try anything. Now I manage my symptoms with a healthy vegan diet, I'm able to gain weight and am now almost 90 lbs, I'm able to lift weights and run and do yoga, and I'm able to work and be a mom without nearly as much pain or struggle. This diet honestly did things for me I had completely lost hope of ever having, and my single kidney is in such good shape I may not actually need a transplant. I recommend that everyone at least tries a more plant based diet as I would never tell anyone to completely eliminate things, but even just eating MORE veggies and greens causes such a significant change that in my experience it's completely worth it.

I looooveee how that one guy went from "lacking protein" to "meat is fucked up"

[@thehonesttomomtruth610]

Separate comment: Why do people not berate you if you eat McDonalds every day, but as soon as you say you're vegan/vegetarian everyone becomes an expert on protein consumption and overall health? I don't get it.

[@daffodilZephyr]

+Hannah Maris The majority of the people who live in developed countries who can go to a Mcdonalds go there because it's convenient and affordable. While I don't know anyone who eats Mcdonalds everyday I do know that I live in tourist area and the cost of living here is extremely high. Most people spend the majority of their time working, this means most kids parents are working. As sad as it is, it's just not easy to sit down and prepare an entirely veg. meal. And I live on an island so veg. restaurants aren't a thing, and if they were most people can't afford it everyday. To put it in perspective (where I live) a cheeseburger meal costs 7.99 and 1 mango cost 4.99... you can imagine how big a bill it would be to buy enough fruit and veg for a large family. (and on a minimum wage salary) I wish more people had access to fresh fruits and vegi's for a reasonable price when supermarkets literally throw out perfectly good produce by the ton everyday. Ironically, we have the ability for people to eat healthy foods, but nobody has the money to buy them :(

[@thehonesttomomtruth610]

daffodilZephyr I know not everyone can afford being a vegan. Being a vegetarian is hella cheap though. I made 7 black bean burgers for three dollars where beef is seven to twelve dollars. I'm more bothered that people don't berate drinkers, smokers, junk food eaters as openly or nearly as much as vegans.

[@IssaMichaelis]

I find it a bit sad how they went into this with closed minds, I feel that their reactions and opinions would've changed had they been more open-minded. They were quite negative to begin with, so I didn't expect them to really get what being vegan is about. I do agree with you that it's off putting that people think it's okay to give you health lessons just because you eat a different way than they do.

[@Cristii.V]

This video was so frustrating to watch, I wish they would have taken the time to actually get educated on what veganism is all about. Most people just think vegans eat lettuce all day and judge people who eat meat. And yes of course there are vegans who take it too far with comments and say hateful things, but so do people who eat meat. But in all reality, being vegan is one of the most selfless things you can do, for the planet, for animals, not to mention for your loved ones because you are keeping yourself healthy, which means you are able to enjoy life with those around you, not being plagued with illness and enslaved to taking medication. The only focus in this video was the food, and the food they chose to eat was so boring and bland and unappetizing. Vegan food can be delicious if you put the effort into finding recipes (which hello, Pinterest). If Buzzfeed ACTUALLY wanted to "find out what veganism is all about" then the outcome of this video would have been completely different. :/

[@avalonh-b.3412]

I completely agree, it's really irritating, but at least people get some exposure to veganism from this video.

[@honeyprincessdawson3420]

4:29 As honourable as Jen's words are, that's not true at all. People drink cows milk because they are told since they're young they need it. Humour me. Who should drink cat milk? Baby cats Who should drink whale milk? Baby whales Who should drink human milk? Baby humans So who should drink cow milk? Human??? No. Baby cows. Getting milk from a cow means that the female cow has to be kept constantly pregnant so she will lactate. So they shove cow sperm up the female cow so they can meet the demand the industry has. And no meat is "ethically raised" up the animals are slaughtered for human consumption. That is in no way ethical. These are just excuses so non vegans can feel ok about they're diet. Even when they actually are contributing to animal cruelty.

They didn't like being vegan because our society is built around animal consumption, so they felt deprived. Also, they didn't know how to be vegan properly, they didn't know how to cook delicious vegan food or to eat the required variety so they wouldn't feel tired. Basically, if you've been an omnivore your whole life you won't successfully convert to a vegan lifestyle overnight. It's a gradual process for most people because it requires such a major change that it can't be accomplished all at once. I'm still in transition to becoming fully vegan, but I love discovering new recipes and things to eat, that I've never heard of when I was an omnivore. And the most important point is that we aren't vegans for ourselves, we are vegans for the animals. Cheese and meat may be delicious, but we don't feel that our gastronomic desires give us the right to abuse and kill animals, when we can have a balanced and healthy plant-based diet. You can comfort yourself with the myth of "ethical" farms all you want, but there is no ethical way to kill someone who wants to live and no ethical way to keep in captivity someone who wants to be free. Farm animals have no protection against animal cruelty because they are already as good as dead, and their only value is as a resource to be consumed, not as a living being with feelings, emotions, and intelligence.

Amen! They weren't eating enough and not enough of the right foods.

Your right, people need to make the connection.

[@CarleyBethPowers]

I really hate how they're making veganism sound so awful. I;m sorry. I dont mean to be rude its just that this video completely misrepresented veganism and I thought buzzfeed was supposed to be about open-mindedness and progress. Jen i love you but there is no way to ethically eat dairy. Cows only produce milk when they are pregnant and just after being pregnant (much like humans). Therefore, you must keep them pregnant and keep taking and killing their babies to keep them producing milk. In many ways this makes the dairy industry EVEN WORSE than the meat industry. This video just made me sad. Now they are completely turned off from this amazing lifestyle because it was not presented to them in a good way at all. I'm so sorry. Why the hell didnt they show them a documentary on the WHYs of veganism and have someone LITERALLY TELL THEM WHAT THEY CAN EAT OTHER THAN RICE AND BEANS BECAUSE THEY CAN EAT SO MUCH WITHOUT HARMING ANIMALS. I'm sorry I dont mean to yell.

[@Ninjanugets123]

why do they kill the babies instead of use them for beef/milk?

[@CarleyBethPowers]

because they are only interested in the milk, the babies are supposed to be growing up with their moms but because they cannot drink the milk, they dont get the nutrients necessary to grow up. they are either sold for veal or disposed of. the point is its cruel and disgusting

I've been vegan for a year now and once you've figured out which brands and products you can eat and which supplements you should take it's super easy and delicious.

calories are energy, protein aren't, so if you're tired it's not a lack of protein, it's a lack of calories...

[@odisy64]

+pee jay ummm proteins do make calories, you can get fat on just protein. what are you talking about?

[@peejay3196]

I was talking about what one of the guys said "I feel tired, probably from the lack of protein" (or something like that) imo this statement is ignorant (in the real sense of the word) because a lack of protein does not cause you to be tired (or anything for that matter, lack of protein doesn't exist) however a lack of calories can make you tired, that's just what I wanted to point out

[@odisy64]

pee jay lack of protein causes you to have weak muscles fibers that tire easily.

[@odisy64]

pee jay BTW protein have as much calories as carbs, they can be broken down by the body into BCAA's and used as instant energy by the body, a lack of protein means a lack of BCAA's which makes you feel sluggish, a lack of protein also deteriorates Cell health and replication this could lead to other health problems.

[@peejay3196]

I totally agree with you, my point being that blaming it (lack of energy) on a lack of protein is a quick and false assessment, cause on a vegan diet you have more than enough protein even without soy product and mock meat

[@stormbaker2740]

I've been vegan for fifteen days and I love it so much more than my pre vegan diet.

Being vegan doesn't have to be a restriction it's a great way to eat healthy and feel good. And don't get me wrong I absolutely love buzfeed, but they left out all the benifits of being vegan, and how fun it can be if you've done your research prior to making such a huge transition.

it's crazy how so many people equate protein and energy. Most likely the dairy industry's doing. They've been pushing the idea for decades. I think you're correct about the calories.

[@wilsonabbey]

+juwlofga Yep probably the main reason why some fail a plant-based diet; they feel tired all the time, but it is just because they aren't used to eating such high volumes of food to pack in the calories for energy. The conventional diet foods are just so dense.

[@owsysc7376]

He was tired because he wasn't getting enough iron, which he would normally get from red meat.

[@NotALizardPerson81]

+Oliver Sharratt-Chan actually vegans don't have trouble with iron because we get a good bit of vitamin c which is necessary for the absorption of iron into the blood. On the other hand meat eaters are very often vitamin c deficient which in turn leads to anemic symptoms. We vegans get all the iron we need from leafy greens and legumes.

This is such a bad example of veganism and they really should've spoken to a longtime vegan not just a nutritionist cause if they're aren't vegan they cant give the best advice. If you eat normal amount of calories then you literally cant get a protein deficiency. You can have awesome foods that are vegan lots of biscuits, crisps, and sorbet, and other stuff. There is a protein in cheese (casoprotein) that humans metabolise into caso-morphine, meaning its literally addictive, it has that so the calf will return to the mother to drink more You cannot eat meat or diary and be cruelty free its literally impossible. How can an industry based on murder and abuse be cruelty free no matter how humane it is your still confining impregnating and killing animals.

This really portrays veganism in a negative light. It was upsetting when the one woman said she felt restricted in her eating. They should have given her more information beforehand. Veganism is not supposed to be restricting, really you can eat pretty much as many whole foods as you want and not have to worry about weight gain or feeling ill. Also it seems like they weren't made aware that there are vegan versions of the things they were craving, like cream cheese and ice cream. They taste just as good as their nonvegan versions. It's very unfortunate that they didn't go about this in a better way. 😕

[@makennah23]

+Richard Wang There is no scientific proof to support what you are saying. In fact, evidence shows that meat is not healthy, and not eating meat is good for you.

[@dockerb3159]

+Makennah Horn She was literally restricted in her eating. If you're an omnivore you can eat anything that's edible (even if it's nasty albeit), if you're a vegan so many of your foods you could eat or usually eat are off the table.

FOR GOD SAKE, Even if you took the foods with the lowest percentage of protein (potatoes, rice, etc), they're only about 5%, that's the amount we more or less need, as too much protein of any kind overworks your kidneys, and especially animal protein, which can make your blood acidic to your own skeletal structure.

Anna Leona as a person who has grown up on a cattle farm my whole life and is a part of the ffa. I know that there are good regulations on meat in stores are required to follow otherwise they get shut down. Also there are some negative effects that come from not killing animals, especially if they are suffering from disease or an injury. Antibiotics can only help animals so much before it is necessary to kill them humanely. If you still dont agree with that then try hunting. Because even though it is still killing, you know how the animal has lived, you are helping not only that animal's population but also the environment as a whole, and you know personally what happens to the animal when it is killed and after it is killed. We will all have different opinions, but all of us must know each and every fact before coming to any conclusions.

[@catherinebell8149]

Lampasas FFA Band Just because something is legal, doesn't mean it's right. Slavery was legal. Now we are enslaving animals. And if we believe we are entitled to take a life simply for our pleasure or because that way we "know" how the animal lived, we might as well also kill dogs and other pets, because we knew how their life was. Nature regulated animal populations before, so it'll be able to do that now as well. Therefore there aren't any negatives to not killing animals. No suffering, no poisoning ourselves, and no destroying the planet.

[@ChaoticButterfly]

Umm... we DO kill dogs and other pets, usually when they're old and/or sick, and living is too rough for them. Nature regulated animal populations before humans because there were other predators who controlled them. However, guess what happened to most of the predators? That said, nature's regulating the wild pigs down in the South REAL well (not really), so much so that they're destroying miles of land because they are walking wasteland creators, and the natural regulation of Lionfish in the Gulf of Mexico is going BEAUTIFULLY (also not really), as they kill off local species because they have no natural predators, there.

Buzz Feed just threw a golden opportunity away to explain the beauty of veganism. It's not a diet but a life philosophy that doesn't involve cruelty to other animals. Not only just by eating but in every aspect of our lives. We can be vegan and unhealthy (just eat french fries/onion rings...) and vegan and healthy. There's always a way to veganize whatever food we love, the beauty/healthy products we use. It's up to us. The important thing is to have it in mind that animals are not ours to use, abuse, wear or entertain. They have feelings too and should be seen as living beings and not things. Going vegan is to be compassionate with another, to help the world, it's way more than what we put inside us.

there is no such thing as ethically raised meat

[@taylorrspeaking]

Nope. Nothing ethical about quartering an animals life span

[@Missmary852]

no there is no such thing as ethical murder.you can raise ethical meat,the living animal that is 😄

[@kacperwroblewski5068]

+CaptainMary By definition, murder is man killing another man so no, you can't call that a murder.

[@Missmary852]

Kacper Wróblewski sorry didn't know that.I always try to work on my english with movies and books but there are always things i don't know.what word should i use?

[@kacperwroblewski5068]

CaptainMary It's fine, slaughter is the best (worst) word in this case.

[@bsfproductions6984]

[@lenani9143]

BSF Productions Or maybe he does because he’s doing it wrong...

[@9999_damage]

[@frankn.furter2813]

[@fatoomoutlet7980]

theskatergirl84 you can get protein from pills..btw I am vegan for 5 yrs and its better

[@zeph2526]

Dogs don't taste good, so no.

[@Lisa224224]

vegans get by far more protein than meat-eaters. its just a bias!

[@sabrinacunha8583]

He's lacking calories

[@reneekovacic2330]

"What's vegan and delicious?" "avocados" really? What about vegan burgers, vegan ice cream, vegan tacos, vegan hot dogs, vegan milkshakes, and so much more than that even. There are many delicious high carb healthy vegan meals that you can make as well.

[@elizabethstorti5788]

You'reCoolerThanMe K i was thinking oreos??? that’s always my example when people ask me

[@Kattykat49]

Also avocados are disgusting

[@breekennedy3945]

Plus any fruit

[@braydeehinkley1863]

I'm not vegan (I'm basically vegetarian but not at all because I eat fish chicken and turkey) but vegan ice cream is wonderful. Or at least the kind we buy

[@zanewhite3115]

All that shits sounds just like a shittier version of the normal ones

[@russ_bus4269]

I'm 12 and I've been a vegan for 1 and a half years

[@BlackBeltDustin]

Cool.

[@papipapaya]

The test friends is my favorite buzzfeed series

[@IamEpicization]

There's no such thing as ethically sourced meat.

[@greeneyes8D]

+Kayla Lurvey ?

[@kyarii88]

bc there is no way to "ethically" kill

[@pinkcrystalhippie3222]

Exactly

[@TheRhianeee]

I think she meant dairy products like milk and eggs.

[@brokestudenthelp7871]

+Rhiane Thomas that's even worse than the meat industry TBH

[@trashipack8096]

Like it's the hardest thing on the f*cking planet 😂 just eat some damn fries or pasta 😅

[@pandaboos6928]

Pasta has eggs in it though

[@trashipack8096]

gita marcia some have, yeah. But most kinds are vegan ;) (at least in Germany)

[@LobsterTheKing]

90% of all pasta is vegan! Just read the nutrition facts!

[@yurmom444]

Trashi Pack, even better just ditch the pasta, make homemade fries your starch for the meal, and fill up on beans, tomatoes, leafy greens, and fresh fruits. Love being vegan :)

[@Antonaes]

Erin Fang im trying to go vegan *^* do you have an ig?

[@theroadrunner6880]

I am dieting as a vegan for the weightloss goals, 50 days in, 20lbs lost. It really works. The hardest part is week 2. Because you start getting stressed about wanting meat. However, if you test the waters you will probably find some good foods. I didn't find any changes to my health otherwise, even when I ate super healthy. I'm just not emotionally linked to food I guess.

[@dport9563]

Also cow's milk has pus from nipples similar to zits on ones face because friction from milker causes boils and scar tissue which is considered ok for consumption for people if under 3% per gallon.

[@kaylycan8618]

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS ETHICAL MEAT

[@garbagemanmugshot]

Yes there is.

[@carmunmakkar]

Dude there's no ethical way to kill an animal for your own taste lmao

[@jaeonlia6837]

S no there isn't. Humane means being compassionate. Is killing an animal compassionate? Exactly

[@lauranathaliacortes4603]

Veganism is not only a diet, is a lifestyle. It involves what you eat, what you wear and the products you use. If you are a vegan you don't consume products tested on animals or that involve animal cruelty in any way.

[@Paperr12]

+Laura C I love animals, but I also love cheeseburgers

[@DarrenDesigns]

+Connor H XD SAVAGE

[@lauranathaliacortes4603]

***** I reckon veggies-based diets are options for everyone, so if you decide not to follow them, that's respectable. They're not an obligation. As long as you don't hurt somebody else freedom, you're free to live your life however you like. I'm not here to judge anybody :) Hope you have an amazing day.

[@lt3381]

+Connor H Three words, Black bean Burgers. Better tan regular, and you could use vegan cheese, cashew cheese is best cheese.

[@lauranathaliacortes4603]

Lily Taylor Yaaaaaas, now I'm hungry. Quinoa or falafel burgers are also amazing.
