My answers to one of the annoying questions asked by non-vegans
Hello All,
I send lots of love and virtual hugs your way. I hope you’re all doing as well as possible…
“If you’re vegan, and you’re so against meat, why do you eat all this stuff that imitates meat?”
We’re not necessarily against the actually items of meat (hotdogs, burgers, bacon, roast meat, ham, sausages, etc) - we’re just against the cruelty and slaughter of the animals that is done to get the meat. We’re against the cruelty, the violence, the exploitation and the murder of the animals - why shouldn’t we be able to enjoy hotdogs, steak, bacon, ham, sausages, roast meat (etc) without the cruelty, the violence, the exploitation and the murder of animals? If we loved meat before going vegan, and we can enjoy things that are similar to the meat products that we used to enjoy, why wouldn’t we?
We’re not necessarily against the flavours, the tastes and the textures of meat - we’re just against the animal cruelty and the environmental devastation of meat!
Meat substitutes help people go vegan - that’s great! Some people don’t want to just live off fruits, vegetables, salad, seeds, nuts and grains. People who used to really enjoy real meat hotdogs, bacon, ham, steak (etc) are more likely to go vegan if they can have those things than if they would otherwise have to forgo anything remotely like them! That’s great! If someone would go vegan, but only if they can have meat substitutes, that’s a win for the animals and the planet, especially if they buy eco-friendly, organic vegan meat substitutes!
Meat substitutes can also be high in protein. They can be used to replicate meat in recipes that would otherwise require meat, including recipes that are some people’s favourite recipes! Actual tofu, especially organic tofu, is probably better for you than some of the other faux meat alternatives.
Also, how are you? How are you feeling? How are you doing? Are you well?
P.S Have you heard that cholesterol can only be found in animal-derived “foods” (it’s not food, it’s violence)? Is this true?
P.P.S Is it true that, if the whole world went vegan, we could solve world hunger? Does one person going vegan help the hungry?
Thanks.
