Vegan Products and Animal Rights

What - shall we make meat-eating ILLEGAL ? Shall we hide in secret dark places and fight the police to eat what we do like ?

If I eat only veggies, I'll die soon, for sure. Or shall get crazy and dangerous, at least.

Yes, killing animals is terrible, but killing people is terrible too, which is not a problem for GOD to kill millions of us every day, no matter how old or how nice we are, do we have "faces" or not.

That is why he made us cruel hunters, killers, ignorant meat-eaters. 

We see so much human's death and terror around us every day, that  "stop kill animals" slogans sound ridiculous.

Take care:

Eating a plant-based diet may lower the risk of chronic disease and is good for the environment, but poorly planned vegan diets that do not replace the critical nutrients found in meat, can lead to serious micronutrient deficiencies.

Bone health is a concern for long-term vegans. Vegans are consistently reported to have lower intakes of calcium and vitamin D, with resultant lower blood levels of vitamin D and lower bone mineral density reported worldwide. Fracture rates are also nearly a third higher among vegans compared with the general population.

Also iodine is essential for health.

Emil, I understand your worries, but really, you do not die if you don't eat meat. Just try it out and eat for one day a week no meat, later two days, you will see that you will rarely miss it. I totally agree with you that eating meat should not be illegalized, but it should reflect the real costs of live, food and environment.

If people would eat less meat, the world would not become a perfect place. But a better.
