    Dude, I was simply trying to be nice. You keep telling that I was wrong and hypocritical. That my ignorance makes me a bad person. I don’t understand you guys.

      I followed through this thread and as a Vegan , I apologize for the nonsense you just dealt with. We aren’t all rude like this. Vegans should be embracing those that understand it is a worthy cause–even if those people aren’t going to switch–because it shows society is growing aware of issues, and a better future in next generations

        I was, and still am very ignorant about this topic. I actually am interested in cutting out meats and dairy. I don’t actually find the health issue of eating meat to be healthy a convincing argument.

          It seems the general consensus is Westerners over consume meat. And the Mediterranean style eating is healthier. And there are entire cultures that are various forms of vegan/vegetarian. But we also have to look at Mediterranean lifestyle too, besides lower meat intake, they may walk alot, and consume smaller portions. It all works together to maintain a healthy body.

      Ignorance doesn’t make you a bad person. I don’t think you are a bad person. But I think your ignorance allows you to hurt, torture, and murder individuals, even when you are trying to be “nice”. If you would like to be less ignorant and gain the capacity not to hurt individuals, I recommend that you watch Dominion.
