You are making claims with no proof.
where are your citations? Facts don't require citation, opinions do. If my claims are so wrong, where is your proof to the contrary?
I know a good amount about food production because where i am is upstate with many farms. I have choices to buy from local farms and also from big chain markets. I get a lot of my fruits and veggies direct from the farm.
I am a food producer. You stated that everything one needs "could be bought at the store". Your knowledge of farming comes from briefly seeing farmers at farmers markets? You obviously don't know jack shit about food production.
You have yet to show that ANY of my claims are unfounded.
You are really trying to make people believe that killing animals kill less animals then avoiding killing them right? You believe that this movement to cause less suffering is what is causing the suffering right? Smh, you have a lot of growing up to do. You are so sure that its the vegans who will eat the mass distributed farmed goods arent you? The vegans I know usually buy from organic locally grown small farms.
I am not trying to make anyone believe anything. I don't have to. The facts speak for themselves. Billions of animals are killed every year to produce vegetables and grains, even on organic farms. Just because they are organic farms does not mean they don't kill pests. Again, your ignorance about food production is showing...
My rabbit dinner caused one death. Your veggie burger caused billions. That's a fact.
If someone is consiouse enough to be vegan, of course they are conscious enough to buy organic, non gmo foods, leaving GMO foods for the less conscientious. Also do you realize that most the soy and grains grown are to feed the animals that are being raised for human consumption? Over 70% of what grows is for the animal feed. So its goes back to where is the real root to the suffering and killing.
I don't use commercial animal feeds for my animals. And that 70% where's your citation? uh huh...
The fact remains that the majority of soy is grown for SOYBEAN OIL, and the waste product, soy meal is fed to animals. That does not mean they are growing soy to feed animals. Soybean oil has a significantly higher value than soy meal, and is the principle product. Soy oil is used primarily for human consumption and biofuel. so, animal production systems that feed soy are actually making use of your WASTE PRODUCT. you're still clueless...
Plus you are wrong, there are many non eating civilizations both now and in the past.
There are no VEGAN civilizations. Name one vegan culture/civilization. Just one.
There are vegetarian cultures, and they still consume a large number of animal products (eggs, dairy, insects, etc). Even so, they have only existed for a few thousand years, AT MOST. Meat eating has been around for 1.5 MILLION YEARS. Veganism is relatively new, spanning at most a century. So, you cannot claim a more healthier approach, because you do not have several generations of vegans to compare to the thousands of generations of meat eaters.
I do not know why do vegan parents average lower birth rates, nor do i think its a serious problem. Birth weights very greatly from child to child based on what i have seen.
These are AVERAGE birth weights, and yes, it does matter. It shows that they are lacking nutrients from their diet, as their offspring are born smaller.
Vegans have mental illness? I think that is just hateful and wicked propaganda. People try to stop activism so they will always spread lies to hinder there efforts. Calling someone crazy is the wurst thing to do, it nullifies all that they say.
Vegans have higher rates of mental illness than their meat eating counterparts. It is not calling someone crazy, it is showing that again, there are nutrients lacking in a vegan diet that lead to severe issues. The human brain evolved around the nutrients from meat. When you take that out of the equation, illness is the result.
Like i have said many times, just because someone is vegan/vegetarian, doesnt mean they are healthy. Not much people being vegan know how to go about it in a healthy way. Not all foods considered to be vegan are healthy. But no way does eating many fruits and veggies cause tooth decay. Even if you were to google that and see that, you would have to be foolish to believe that propaganda. Did your dentist ever tell you to stay away from fruits and veggies cus its bad for your teeth? Or was it stay away from sweets and refined sugars and drinks? Snap out of it
again, this is another issue that shows lack of nutrients. It's not that fruits and vegetables are bad for your teeth, it's that the lack of proper vitamins (D3, A from fat, etc) and minerals affects your health.
As a human, we are apes by definition.
our closest relatives, chimpanzees, regularly eat meat, mostly in the form of insects and small vertebrates. Even gorillas, which are almost vegans, still eat insects. Our digestive system differs greatly than that of the other apes, as well.
They are extremely healthy and live long.
proof, please. there is no study that shows that vegans outlive their meat eating counterparts.
You want to believe you are omnivorous but there is no real proof of that.
yes there is. Our digestive systems, our long history of eating meat, our teeth, our brain size, etc. No anthropologist or zoologist would categorize humans as herbivores. They are omnivores, plain and simple.
still avoiding the uncomfortable questions, huh?
