RE: Why I am a Vegan - Billy - 01-13-2017 I ate soup the other day where the majority of the ingredients came from my very backyard, and the feeling of 'Wow, this food that I am consuming literally was seeded and grew just a few feet from the back door' was joyous. This was food that was grown organically, done for the joy of it and not as a job ( thanks Mum ![]() On a vegan note, I have also been drinking chlorophyll on a daily basis for almost a week now and am feeling pretty good about it. Does anyone else drink this stuff or something similar? RE: Why I am a Vegan - Patrick - 01-14-2017 (01-13-2017, 09:45 AM)Billy Wrote: ... We juice green vegetables and drink this every week day. Lots of chlorophyll in it. ![]() RE: Why I am a Vegan - Jade - 01-19-2017 I have a new coworker who asked me this the other day: Why are you vegan? There are three answers that seem to be able to satisfy people: For one's own health, for environmental reasons, or for compassion for the animals. I realized that when she asked me this expecting one of those responses, that the answer was not nearly that simple or compartmentalized. Initially I went vegan for health reasons, supported by a compassion for animals. But after nearly 5 years of this lifestyle, I realize that compassion for my body, compassion for animals, and compassion for the environment/planet are all the same thing. I choose every day to attempt to have a net positive impact on the whole of my environment, based on feedback that the environment gives me, such as how our increasing global desire to farm meat is destroying rainforests and other natural habitats, how much water/fuel is required to farm meat vs. vegetables, and how the livestock industry creates more green house gases than the whole of our transportation system. I just learned yesterday that shrimp has a larger bioimpact than beef! It's cues like these that help show me a better way.

Started eating almonds daily for fat and protein and they have helped a lot. As an American I still have difficulty finding satisfying recipes and I think the key is to focus more internationally. Web searches or newer vegan cookbooks just yield chefs making stuff up or veganizing dishes. How many black bean burger recipes, vegan lasagna, or piles of random supposed vegetable goodiness must I endure? ![]() It only makes sense to look into Indian and Asian cooking, since they've been honing cooking without meat for centuries. I bought Every Grain of Rice, Asian Tofu by Andrea Nguyen, and Vegan Richa's Indian Kitchen. The books came yesterday and I made a simple spinach with sesame oil appetizer with leftover spinach and it was awesome. Mexico's culture has also had to rely on recipe's without meat and I have Bayless's Mexian Kitchen which is pretty good.

It is good when you post some of the article here, maybe just some salient points.

There's no picture at all in the article (unless they are blocked by my ad-blockers, but I don't think so), and it's mainly an argument for what the author describes as An increasing number of people agree that killing another animal should be called murder. RE: Why I am a Vegan - Nía - 02-17-2017 Ra have, by the way, interestingly, used the same term for the (violent/cruel) killing of animals on Earth as for 3D entities on Venus, slaughter: Ra Wrote:Ra: I am Ra. We were, in the cautionary statement about complex protein, referring to the distortions of the animal protein which has been slaughtered and preservatives added in order to maintain the acceptability to your peoples of this non-living, physical material. Ra Wrote:Ra: I am Ra. The technique of control over others and domination unto the physical death was used in both cases. Upon a planetary influence much unused to slaughter these entities were able to polarize by this means. Upon your third-density environment at the time of your experiencing such entities would merely be considered, shall we say, ruthless despots which waged the holy war. -`ღ´- RE: Why I am a Vegan - Diana - 02-17-2017 Thanks Nia.
