Earthlings - Go Vegan

[mathsparks]

Received a booklet (The Survival of the World is in Your Hands) and dvd (SOS) in the mail last week. The booklet contains a summary of the climate crisis, how going vegan can save our planet and vegan recipes.


And the DVD's message is Be Vegan. Go Green. Save our Planet.

The most impactful came from a link provided - http://www.earthlings.com which features the full-length documentary about how animals are mistreated in the various industries just so we can have our pets, leather and steak.

Be warned though, some scenes are very graphic and disturbing. You can also watch it on youtube, just search earthlings.

Going vegan is easy for me since I already don't eat meat at breakfast and lunch. Perhaps it's difficult to be a complete vegan, but I'll spare a thought to the cruel treatment the animal has endured when I next sink my teeth into a carcass.

Even if you can't go vegan fully, perhaps 1 day a week is a good start, not just for the animals but for your health and planet earth too.

vegan is an even stricter form of vegetarian which they don’t even take eggs and dairy products.

Thanks full.cream for reminding me. I’d forgotten that cheese=cows+methane gas, eggs=battery chicken+cruelty.

Good start, fussyMummy.

I also eating half day on every 初一,十五. Now increased to at least 10-half day (十斋日 for Buddhism).
I will also keep on trying.

I’m already vegan, except I eat milk and dairy products. My mum told me eveytime you eat a carcass, you also eat the poo, pee and waste materials inside, and you eat the blood, and if the animal you eat is infected with something, you could catch the disease and fall very sick…

In this case, you are not a vegan. You are a vegetarian. Vegans do not eat any animal produce and that includes milk, eggs and honey.

Actually you are also eating poo, pee and waste material when you eat only plants cos animal wastes are used as fertilizers. :siam:

Ok ok. teasing you. It is commendable that a youngster like you are able to keep to you vegetarian diet. Especially what with all the fastfoods and junk foods everywhere.

We are trying to go vegetarian at this point in time, going once/twice a week. But for the children, mum says no, she told me that growing children shouldn’t go meat-free. But I did tell her not to cook too much meat for us for our dinners and the boys eat more tofu and vegetables in their meals. It’s really more for health.


DH’s boss sent him an article about acidic and alkaline foods and it does scare the hell out of us to know that almost all meats are acidic in nature, which might be cancer-causing and stuff. Even egg yolks are too though it’s not meat.

For me, it’s a personal preference that I don’t like meat (cos meat pieces tend to get stuck in my teeth since I’m very young), while green vegetables don’t. And u know, actually meat, they kinda smell quite bad if u try to take a sniff at it… But vegetables don’t give a bad smell. And it might be due to the fact that meat smell, we need to put loads of herbs and seasoning into it to ‘cover’ the smell. But for vegetables, u can really go free and easy on it.
