RE: Veganism - Another Perspective - Why should I care?

in #vegan7 years ago

You are totally right with the need of more water to produce meat than crops. _gWgy51IkUoKDIKsINZvkbC5wCoqtX23n1AUwzJPFQE.jpg
However you say that Venezuela doesn't allow you to be egetarian/vegan? I see it like this, there are so many foods you can eat every day, also in Venezuela, that aren't meat. I really hope this doesn't offend you, it's just how I understood what you said. I think you have a false belief that you can't be vegetarian at least if you're from Venezuela. All it takes to be vegetarian is to not eat meat& fish. I would argue that it is that hard to find anything else to eat other than meat & fish, there are literally thousands of possibilities on food choices, even in Venezuela. But the current society has conditioned us to eat meat, dairy & eggs everyday, in enormous quantities. It has almost become the only thing we eat, meat fish eggs dairy everyday, but it musntl't be like this. I understand your concern of low food diversity, however I suspect you overanalyze the whole situation because being vegetarian is fairly easy regardless of country. You just have to eat anything but meat, to help yourself, the animals and environment.

I really hope my comment didn't offend you, my only intention was to showcase my different opinion. :)

I am not offended by your comment, on the contrary, thank you for responding. Maybe for someone who does not live in this country it is difficult to understand what I say. You will think that I am taking it as an excuse, here I do not choose if eating meat, fish, vegetables or fruits only eat what you can buy with the little salary you earn working. I'm a civil engineer and a kilo of onion is half my salary. A kilo of meat costs twice my salary. You should live this to understand it.
