Veganuary and Veganism
Ask a Question
Is anyone taking part in veganuary or vegan ?
And if you are taking part in it how has i been going ?
I couldn't not eat meat , I think I'm part werewolf , not that I howl at the moon ( not often anyway )
I started Veganuary and Veganism at midnight on New Year's Day when I went to sleep.
I then woke up at 7pm and had sausages (of the meat variety) and bacon (of the pork variety) for breakfast.
I feel a bit disappointed in myself, but at least I gave it a good go.
Ann1984 Yep, and very nice it was too.
I've got no real problems with vegetarians or vegans although the food is not my bag. But my cousin has started going out with someone who classes himself as a vegetarian (who eats fish every so often ) and it seems that he's had a couple of words with her daughter and suddenly she wanted to become a vegetarian out of the blue.
Viridun depends on the cause they preach about. Personally I don’t think it should be forced on a child like some do my neighbours kids look awful no nutrition just pale looking. And I have felt awful when they ask for a sweet but can’t give because vegan if I had them at my house I would give what ever they asked for
Ann1984 Haha shifting the goalposts a bit there. But the healthiest sources of protein are legumes, beans, pulses etc. You can get plenty of iron from plants, where do you think the animals get it from? Haha. Also seems like you focus on choices isn't taking the animals preferences into account very much!
Everyone likes meat, some things are just more important than your taste buds/tradition. Anyone who "doesn't like vegan food" just can't cook! Haha. Just gotta work on finding substitutes you like and discovering new foods/dishes to try.
Imnotcheap Everyone loves meat mate, vegans included. Some things are just more important than your tastebuds
flipside Actually going vegan is far more effective than buying locally. Obviously buy local where you can, but what you eat is much more important than where it's from generally. (also I'm sure you're not implying that there's better things for animal welfare than not killing them for food? Haha)
