Nothing boring about the food, there R 100's of great dishes some simple if you're in hurry or hate to cook.

Going vegan for health reasons is perfectly reasonable, but this a crock. The natural world includes a lion biting a monkey's head off and a snake eating a frog alive.

Isn't nature wonderful.

Oh yeah. I know I'd live a much more peaceful life knowing that millions of deer and other animals starve to death, die of exposure or get eaten alive by other animals as opposed to being killed quickly by a hunter or at meat producing plant.

I only wear leather products derived from animals that died in the field from old age.

Hey, it works for me.

I don't know what outcome was expected but,,,

It is more than a diet choice it is a philosphy of life...and many don't share that way of thinking.

Many of us have ways and choices that differ from others but don't try to change another's mind about it.

When you share your private living choices in a public forum and others don't agree than....who is to call who a jerk?

Jerk isn't nice, but when you enter into a controversial subject, you are bound to stir up emotion and controversy...and RARELY change anyone's opinon.

Please keep comments directed at the topic and not a user(s).

Thank you.

So did Ellen DeGeneres.
In fact, millions of people around the nation have taken the pledge to go avoid using leather, silk, wool, and cosmetics that have been tested on animals or that contain animal ingredients.

Inner peace. By living without killing sentient creatures, we find that we live a more peaceful life. By choosing to dine on food that has not come from bloodshed, we can attain an inner peace that would be hard to find elsewhere.

The meat industry is one that involves death, as animals are slaughtered by people trying to make a living. Slaughterhouse workers experience a much higher rate of injury than other factory workers. In addition, nobody should have to make their living by killing animals all day. Doing so often leads to psychological problems and a disconnect with nature.

“Some of the great philosophers and spiritual leaders throughout history have
eaten a plant-based diet,” adds Louix, “Adopting a vegan diet will not only help you feel better, but it extends compassion to those at our mercy, and teaches
others that they can live a life focused on peace and harmony.”
.

If some people achieve inner peace by becoming vegetarians, good for them. It's all about lifestyle choices ... Each to his own.
