Being confrontational and going for the shock factor doesn't sit well with many people. If they are young and are still developing their view of the world, positive role models are definately more influential. I'm believing more and more in the concept of looking beyond animal suffering alone...

This is sad but certainly not a consequence of anything other than a heavy reliance on fossil fuels. Who here drives a car, rides the bus, train or consumes electricity? We are all guilty so cannot point fingers and what can we do...

This makes sense to me and overpopulation is a topic to be genuinely concerned about on a personal level. Sadly certain individuals on here, particularly 'Forest noone whover et al ahem*' seem to spend a lot of their valuable free time expressing their disagreement with everything and anything...

Typical over thinking of a clear cut issue and utter nonsense for anyone to read. Relating this to a vegan viewpoint, you have basically said that it's ok to eat eggs but horrific to kill and eat chickens? I can't even begin to understand the origins of this argument. I hope you are not claiming...

Completely contradictory. This is the problem - once you are pregnant there is another body involved. Conception and pregnancy results in a human life believe it or not, crazy I know? Therefore once this happens abortion is in no way a decision that a woman is able to make about their own body...

It is the arrogant fool who resorts to denial and petty verbs. You need to look at your intolerance and negative attitude towards others my friend.

I agree. Presenting a distorted version of through the assumption that the target demographic are ignorant is quite patronising and actually deceptive. You really should not do this. It also would indicate a lack of belief in the integrity of your hypotheses. Encouraging more people to become...

Methinks thou protest too much. Is it not the guilty who ask the most questions? I refer to your reply to Slonaut. It's a typical fundamentalist view of labelling others' words at stupid and cutting off their opinions whenever they differ from yours, rather than actually being respectful.

Thanks Jamie, this article is quite compelling and has certainly provided some food for thought. What resonates with me here is the more objective approach of asking questions and considering the importance of challenging our own conscious perception of issues relating to lifestyle choices. This...

You do make a valid point that equally opposing evidence exists for longevity stemming from non vegan diets, in spite of whatever evidence you may possess. Totally agree. This is why tolerance and open mindedness will always prevail over the ignorance that other beliefs cannot exist alongside...

You didn't address the most important question. Head down to Texas and preach your intolerance of their deeply held beliefs? Not going to cut it, no contest. Your use of the word academically cannot be taken seriously. I'm sure however that you were never vegetarian not so long ago, or god...

Laughable. World veganism is the most unrealistic, discriminatory and least likely outcome to ever transpire in our lifetime, and is so far removed from real life it is unbelievable. To expect such fantasy is akin to Islam achieving world domination. Tell me do you believe that prominent western...

With all respect I can tell you from first hand experience that throughout the Mediterranean countries I have lived in, the vast majority rely heavily on fish and refined plant oils (mainly olive oil). I'm referring to Greece/Greek Isles, Spain, Turkey, Southern Italy and Sicily. A reliance on...

So by this reasoning any vitamins purported to be beneficial to health in some way, no matter how significant, should be taken by individuals? This would be a mighty expensive and unnecessary venture. The MOST important point is to not believe everything you read and do not trust the 'reports'...

Oils should be avoided at all costs. The consumption of extracted/processed (refined or unrefined) oils of any kind has been undoubtedly linked to high cholesterol levels by a myriad of research institutes. The reason that Mediterranean and Japanese cultures have such longevity and low incidence...

I do agree that veganism is more than diet, but unfortunately what you describe is an issue of many vegans having unrealistic expectations about others who don't conform exactly to their views. This often crosses the line into intolerance and aggression, which seems to manifest itself in trying...

Water with orange peel and kidney bean puree, alongisde my normal breakfast. It has recently been proven as a strong preventative for at least 2 high risk diseases faced by western culture (not to be named for superstitious reasons).

Spinach and chard are the greatest. Be like popeye it's the best thing for ya. Supplements really are a waste of time-like paying to pee at a train station. Choosing a wide variety of ingredients from all the food groups on a daily/weekly basis ensures that you will have adequate intake of...

All burgers are reminiscent of 'hamburgers' so to me anything like that is the devil. I don't understand why you would want anything to taste like meat?.. when its not meat, and you don't eat meat? Meat substitutes are just awful and confusing. Also, raw foods are good but as humans we are...

Yes, I am entitled to my opinion and I agree that we should allow others to express whatever they wish, providing it's not hurtful. Therefore it's not really appropriate to label strong opinions as being out of whack is it. It is my viewpoint and my intention is more to respond to Brea c...
