A lot of vegetarians don't realize why they aren't going far enough, why it is important to go all the way and be vegan. I want to let you all know what some of the main reasons are for going vegan.
For the animals:
-Cows raised for milk and chickens raised for eggs are raised in the same conditions as animals raised for meat. Lifetimes of suffering.
-When milk/egg production declines, cows and chickens are killed.
-Chickens who don't lay enough eggs are deprived of food and water for up to 14 days to shock their bodies into laying more eggs.
-Male calves born into the dairy industry are of no use, so at a few hours of age, are taken from their mothers and sold into veal. They are confined to tiny, dark crates, then killed at several months of age. The veal industry would not exist without the dairy industry.
-Male chicks born into the egg industry are of no use, so they are buried alive, gassed, suffocated, or thrown into grinders while still alive.
For your health:
-It is a myth that humans need animal products to be healthy.
-It is a myth that vegans have difficulties getting enough protein, calcium, iron, etc. The only potential problem is B12 (which can be taken as a supplement, and is also an issue among omnis), though even that is rarely an issue. Everything else is readily available from vegan sources.
-Milk actually weakens bones. It has such a high protein concentration that the protein leaches calcium from the bones.
-80% of the protein found in milk is casein, which is the substance they derive from it to make glue. A tiny amount of casein produces a lot of mucus, which can cause asthma.
-The natural human diet is veganism. This is proven by our teeth, nails, intestine length, stomach acidity, and other things. Herbivores have pores, omnis do not. Herbivores can move their jaws from side to side, meat eaters can not, they're only able to move their mouth up and down in a crunching motion.
-Vegetarians live on average 6-10 years longer than meat eaters. Vegans live even longer.
-Milk and eggs cause the same diseases as meat, such as heart disease and cancer.
-Milk contains pus--this includes that which is certified "organic" by the USDA. It's quite literally composed of dead white blood cells, somatic cells (pus), protein (casein, whey), carbohydrates (lactose), and small amounts of other vitamins, which can be found more plentifully and easily in vegan foods (such as soy milk).
For the environment:
-Exactly the same as meat, seeing as it involves factory farming. Factory farms cause more pollution than all planes, trains, cars, trucks, and ships combined.
Over 140 billion innocent animals are murdered every year. Save lives. Go vegan. Do it for the animals. Do it for the environment. Do it for your health.
