RE: Vegans are crazy, obsessed, and they want everyone else to be vegan too!!! Right?!?
the only argument i see at the is towards then end sustainable and energy cost. well for everyone in the planet to eat even close to a vegan life style would destroy the soil. which with destroyed soil comes in door growing. indoor growing which in now based more on product cost to run the facility and lights for cloudy days ramping up energy and pollution.
Also.... having a voice for animals...... plants make less noise then animals and are just as much a living creature as any animal that we eat.
Do you have any research to support your first argument? My statements are research-based. The amount of land used to raise the animals that we use for food (and other products) is enormous. The pound of food per acre necessary doesn't even compare. More food could be produced using fewer resources, especially when you factor in the transportation of product and upkeep.These animals and their products are heavy, require large amounts of water, etc.
Also...plants are certainly living organisms... but I can't say I agree with you. My argument was more than just that they are "living", but are also thinking and feeling beings with which we can form reciprocal relationships. On top of that, the meat and dairy products that we're eating have been proven to contribute to major diseases. I appreciate your response, and if you have anything to back up what you're saying, I wouldn't mind checking it out. If you'd like me to point you in the direction of some good sources of information, I got you.
