@msnewboobies: I can definitely confirm that I am having much less period cramps since going vegan, especially since eating high carb / low fat. Also I had bad acne before I went vegan, which cleared up after some weeks on the vegan lifestyle. And POM is right, a plantbased diet is the healthiest for your body. Dairy and meat will lead to heart disease, cancer and diabetes, that's no secret anymore.
Regarding vegans and "choices/beliefs"... here is a quote which sums it up nicely:
"I was not raised a vegan, I was automatically born into this world without a choice and that is by eating meat and animal by-products. Do you know why I didn't get a choice? Because the meat and dairy industry spends more than 550 million dollars a year into brainwashing society. Their main focus is on children, through things like colouring books featuring why we must drink milk provided at school paid by dairy industry, making it compulsory to hand out 1 carton of milk at school everyday, making sure meat is part of the meals at school cafeterias, paying health organisations to feature their products in the food pyramids and other articles, manipulating scientific studies to get results that they need, trying to make ag gag laws on slaughter houses so people can't go in and show the public what it's really like, putting a million commercials of meat on TV, commercials of milk which include paying celebrities to advertise milk, constant fast food burger commercials, the list goes on and on. They are extremely powerful industries and will do anything to exceed in profit.
So please tell me again who is forcing their beliefs on you? I'm sick of hearing people tell vegans to stop forcing their "beliefs" on people. First of all it is not a belief, it is a conscience decision based on facts to put your actions inline with your morals. Maybe if the meat and dairy industry stopped forcing their beliefs onto society than maybe we wouldn't need to "force" ours and by force I mean educate because that's all vegans are really doing, is educating and presenting facts. Vegans value all animals lives the same and is that so wrong? We are vegan because we believe all living beings have a choice to live the way they choose. If people didn't speak up than I probably would still be eating dead flesh now. So NO we won't stop "forcing" our "beliefs" onto people until you stop forcing yours onto us, the animals and the environment" https://instagram.com/p/6qC12FFfci/
If you are interested in the environment: "Agriculture is the most destructive industry in the world today, responsible for global warming, deforestation, droughts, murders of land activists etc." Watch Cowspiracy on Netflix, it's one of the best documentaries ever.
@POM: I definitely recommend you also to watch Cowspiracy.
