I'm interested in why people are vegans. Hopefully, this thread will be limited to comments from vegans.
I'll go first: I'm a vegan because I read The China Study by T. Colin Campbell PhD.. His extensive studies of both small animals and a large 20+ year human population study proved to my satisfaction that animal protein promotes cancer. That's not to mention many other degenerative diseases that can be avoided by eating a plant-only diet. I decided that as far as other regimens go, taste is good but not so good if you don't have good health. Good health is paramount. I can't imagine how I would enjoy life if I had cancer, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis or some other degenerative disease. Last edited by Villages PL; 05-20-2015 at 01:18 PM. |

I am a carnivore because I believe that nature intended me to be so. That it is a natural thing to do for homo sapiens.

I am a flexitarian because it is moderation, and I like to do things in moderation. When we went out to eat, One of my friends insisted her peppers/mushrooms/whatevers not be cooked on the same grill as meat. If it is true cooks spit in food, she has probably eaten more spit than anyone else on the planet.

I eat a majority of fruits and vegetables and grains because I like them and I know they are healthy for me. That is why I limit fat and try not to overeat.

My friend back in Wisconsin weeded her yard yesterday. For dinner last night she had.......Stinging Nettle, Garlic Mustard, Dandelion, Chive, and Virginia Waterleaf Pesto. She posted a picture of it. It looked good and she said it was delicious......hmmm. I don't know....maybe I'd give it a try.

Flexitarian - I like that very much. With your permission I will describe myself with that descriptor. It fits well.

![]() I betcha lots of Villagers are Flexitarians. I wonder if an occasional glass of wine can be included in the Flexitarian diet. After all, wine comes from grapes. ![]()

"Why are you not a vegetarian or carnivore?" ...and then you ask that responses come from vegans? I'm confused.

You absolutely can have wine because it comes from grapes because then I can have a lemon drop martini because it comes from lemons. Can we also agree that carrot cake counts as a vegetable?

I consider myself an omnivore. The only things I refuse to eat are turnips, okra and haggis.
