I'm Tired

I'm tired of people asking me questions because they simply don't understand things...

So, here are some FAQ's:

Q: Why do vegans and vegetarians have fake meat because don't they not like meat?

A: That is true in some cases. I don't like all meat but sometimes I just want a turkey sandwich so I go and buy some vegan bread and tofurkey slices. I do not eat excessive amounts of fake meat because it can be bad for you, but not NEARLY as bad for you as real meat. Oh, and most vegans and vegetarians don't give up meat because they don't like the way it tastes, they just see that real meat has many downfalls.

Q: But aren't eggs and milk good for you?

A: The only good things in them are protein and calcium, which you can get many other places. They also have downfalls like fat and cholesterol. So no, they are not "The perfect food". Also, think of it this way eggs are the reproductive cells of chickens so it's like someone else eating your eggs. I know that sounds gross, but thats really what it is. They're not always fertilized, but then neither are ours. And milk, we are the only animal(and yes, we are an animal technically) that drinks another species milk and we are also the only species that drinks any kind of milk for our whole lives. You know when you stop drinking breast milk? Thats when normal animals stop drinking their mothers milk, including cows! Isn't that gross? You're drinking cow's breast milk.

Q: Where do you get your vitamins and protein?

A: Everywhere, there are so many vegetables and plant based products that have so much protein and other vitamins that you need. I also do take a vitamin supplement, but I've done that since before I was a vegan.

Q: Why are vegans always so skinny?

A: Mainly because we don't eat all of the bad things that come from animal products. Did you know that people can get stressed easier if they eat meat? Yeah, because when they are about to kill the animals they get a rush of adrenaline and nothing can take that out of their flesh, so if someone eats that they get the adrenaline and it can make them stressed.


Ok, so I'm sorry if you think this means I'm pressing my views down your throat, but I was a little tired of the things I mentioned. I'm sorry.
