Farmed animals are artificially inseminated by humans. The number of animals farmers bring into existence depends on supply and demand. As demand decreases, supermarkets and restaurants will order smaller amounts of animal flesh and secretions (meat, dairy, and eggs). When the demand from restaurants and supermarkets decreases, fewer animals will need to be slaughtered. The […]
You do realize that there’s no such thing as an ecosystem made up entirely of animals, right? So if there are no plants to eat on this island, it’s likely that there are no non-human animals, either. So what if you were stranded with other humans? This is, of course, a much more likely scenario, […]
Do you think that eating plants would require more land than eating animals? You might be surprised to learn that it takes almost 20 times less land to feed a vegan than it does to feed someone a diet that includes animal flesh and secretions. That’s because vegans consume crops such as grains directly, instead […]
According to the experts, it’s not. Let’s start with someone who knows a lot about the real paleo diet. Dr. Richard Leakey, renowned paleontologist, notes that “[y]ou can’t tear flesh by hand, you can’t tear hide by hand … We wouldn’t have been able to deal with a food source that required those large canines” [of […]
Why would a loving, benevolent God create animals who can suffer and then have humans be the cause of that suffering? If you believe in the God of the Bible, you can see that he created a vegan world and intends for us to return to a vegan world. Immediately after the creation, God said: […]
Variation: I tried to go vegan but I got sick/had no energy/felt weak, etc. What about all the people you know who eat animal flesh and secretions and get sick? This excuse is yet another attempt to characterize consuming animal flesh and secretions as not a matter of pleasure but one of physical necessity. But […]
Where do you think gorillas, cows, elephants, and other large animals get their calcium? Like them, you can get your calcium from a wide variety of foods, especially green leafy vegetables like spinach, collard greens, mustard greens, turnip greens, kale, and bok choy. Other good sources are tofu and sesame seeds. Most of us have been brainwashed by the dairy industry […]
How much protein do you think we need? In reality, we need relatively small amounts of protein–only 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight each day. That’s about 50 grams (1.76 ounces) for someone who weighs 150 pounds. Most people consume this amount easily. Do you think that plants are deficient in protein? […]
