    Not transitioning well, help!

    Please read my signature. My advice is that you listen to Lou. His patient and friendly spirit helped with my transition to becoming a vegan. I would suggest that you take the transition slowly. You could just cut out the blatantly unhealthy animal products. Even a 50% reduction in...

    Many vegans are out of touch from reality

    I am retired. But, I recently got a job as a delivery driver for Domino's Pizza. I think that being vegan is about avoiding harm to animals. Pizza's frequently come out of the oven looking less than perfect. The pizza can go into two places: 01. The garbage. 02. My belly. I realize that...

    UK Is 'Vegan' Expensive?

    Vegan food is the cheapest food. I know that some forum members do not like my eating habits. Rice and oatmeal is so cheap that it might as well be free. Peanut butter sandwiches are also cheap. I think the peanut butter sandwich is nature's most perfect food. I will gloat about my...

    Thinking Outside of the Box

    I am way too philosophical tonight.😂 I remember how my teacher told me that I should think outside the box. I am sure she had good intentions. That advice sounds like something that belongs on a bumper sticker. The advice is true enough. Yet, it does not take us anywhere. I have spent my...

    What happened to bite-sized vegan?

    Jamie provided an outstanding link to an article about abortion. I recommend reading this article. @Lou - Please try to post your link.

    Why is sentience an argument for animal advocates & vegans?

    A lobster lacks sentience in the same way that a human experiences sentience. Their perception of the world is from the standpoint of a lobster and not a human. Nevertheless, their perception is complete and authentic from the standpoint of a lobster. In my mind, animal rights and human...

    Vegans and abortion

    I would like to act as a voice of moderation in the pro-life and pro-choice movements. I shall try to make a few observations that I hope are not controversial. I have no interest in advocating for or against the legalization of abortion. There are far wiser and more intelligent people who...

    Medications Advice

    I just revisited this thread. Could anyone describe how marijuana helps with anxiety? How long does it take to take work and how long does it last. How do your feel when you take marijuana? I would also like to know how much a therapeutic level dose would cost. I am still off the...

    US Religion?

    I think you are dead right again Lou. I think that eating meat is schizophrenic. I am not joking. The most difficult thing in the world it to tell a person with schizophrenia that he or she has this mental condition. I also think that much of religion seems schizophrenic. I do not know...

    That was profound.

    If I can do it to someone with four legs........

    "If I can do it to someone with four legs, then I can do it to someone with two legs." That single thought is what keeps me from eating meat. What was your ah-ha moment with being vegan?

    Issues with Veganism

    "generating a toxic amount of shame" - Sprout Skies I might be very out of touch with reality. I am not seeing vegans attempting to create a toxic amount of shame.

    US Religion?

    That is not me. I found the picture on the internet. Vegan is far less expensive than animal products. I typically live on less than $2 a day on food as of recently. I can go as low as $1 a day. Eating vegan meat and vegan cheese is rather expensive though. But, I do not have any...

    US Religion?

    I have many reason for choosing the user name “Hog”. First, I wanted to reclaim the meaning of the word Hog. The word Hog is frequently derogatory in nature. I think that the word Hog could be a compliment. I also feel the same way about he word “b1tch”. It should not be an insult. It...

    US Religion?

    “Is there anyone here who's vegan for religious reason?” - JM1 I like the question. The Bible and other religious texts seem to talk about stewardship of animals. I think the Quran even gives advice on humane slaughter. The condition of factory farms are absolutely inhumane. Thus, the...

    Dealing with non-vegan family members

    This is my opinion and it is only an opinion. Your brother is not ready to learn about animal suffering. Focus your energy on people who are actively interested in going vegan. I never would have gone vegan without PETA. They had the mentor and the information that I needed. I also...

    Being Vegan Isn't Simple Anymore

    "Being Vegan Isn't Simple Anymore" I am a simpleton. Actually, I am an ignoramus. The zookeeper even offered me free room and board in exchange for being the main attraction at the zoo. I would be star of the new ignoramus display. ===== The convoluted point of my bad joke is that anyone...

    Whatcha Eatin?

    I had the basic vegan redneck dinner: oven fried potatoes, ramen noodles, and quick bread. I covered the three basic food groups: grease, refined sugars, and salt. I am not sure if I got in enough carcinogens though. The below pic is Earl. He is my cousin and my brother.
