Switching to vegan for a picky eater.

[hobblewobble]

If you expand your first sentence to ‘saving animals from an untimely and often painful death, usually proceeded by a horrifically stressful journey’, then you are getting closer. Those who are vegan for moral reasons fully accept we won’t have sheep (other than wool producers), cows and pigs in the countryside. A small price to pay.

As long as there are meat eaters animals will be killed but the more vegetarians there are the less the numbers of animals being bred for killing. There will always be meat eaters it's not nice but it is natural.

I tried a Greggs vegan roll earlier.
Not too bad.

How is factory farming 70 BILLION animals a year natural?

What is unnatural about it. We are part of nature.

By that definition, everything is ‘natural’, including infanticide and genocide. No?

If it was natural to eat meat, we'd have claws and would be able to rip flesh with our mouths, dunno about you but I couldn't use my teeth to take apart an animal. Cooking is something we have developed to be able to break it down food.

Eventually the thread took the turn it was bound to take

Let’s present a case where rearing, abusing and killing a living thing just to satisfy our thirst for dead animals to eat, by the so called intelligent species, is a good thing.

Yes. And eventually destruction of the planet. It's part of nature. We are part of nature.

I think most of the sauce is coming from the vegans. I think it's great that people are able to give up eating meat. It's fantastic for the planet. It's not something I'll ever do as I really enjoy my food and don't care about animals that much.

Not sure why that is relevant to the vegan community. Hospitals are full of non vegans who adopt a non vegan diet which they haven’t adapted to.

Ref OP - I’d take the view that if you want to do it for whatever reason just pile in. You will find a way.
If you really have a problem with vegetables tho - you may want to re think.

Complete non sequitur

I seriously doubt anybody, as in not a single human being has been hospitalized because they happen to not follow vegan diets

So please state your evidence, the hospitals are 'full' as you stated, so provide this data as no doubt it must be overwhelming if it is filling up hospitals
