Any vegans out there?

I'm considering becoming one. So I just want to know what you eat. Do eat dairy and eggs or not?

Vegans dont eat/arent associated with nething that comes from an animal

so if u really wanna wear plastic shoes for the rest of ur life, be my guest 😛

no dairy, no leather, no meat, no eggs, no furs, no skins, no wool, no animal products at all...

I can do everything else except the leather thing.

No you cannot.

You cannot eat or wear anything that came from an animal.

How will my pants stay up???? 🙁

Became vegetarian.

And there are belts that are not leather.

I was vegan for nearly a year - but the ethical dilemma each time I ate or drank almost drove me mad: so i reverted to the far less moral but mercifully easier life of the vegetarian.

I guess being vegetarian would work best.

Well - you have to make your own mind up. My reasons for adopting a vegan diet were not because i think consuming dairy products is somehow "wrong" (if the animal doesnt die - i'm happy to celebrate the humble bee by eating honey...) It was because i figure if i'm using dairy i'm supporting the practice of dairy farming - which in turn feeds the meat industry.

From there - i worked out that even SHOPPING in the stores that also sell meat is supporting the meat-business, so I was not only vegan i was a vegan that would only shop in small locally owned health food stores that only sold organic produce. IE I almost starved to death.

You have to find what works for you - forget the labels of veggie and vegan and do what you think is right.

I'm concerned about my health. I already stopped eating red meat and pork years ago.

You could have gone out and lived in the wild where the nature itself would feed you with its humble yet tasty, unaltared, non-supermarket related, meet free goods. 😊

LOL. No thanks nature.

its not healthy to not eat meat tho lol...
meat is just as important a part of ur diet as vegetables and soya based meat imitation products

I want to avoid unecessary red meats and unhealthy fats.

but red meat is the main way the body gets protein into the system... which is used to build/repair muscles among other things

how about, rather than becoming a hippy, u just watch ur diet, and make sure u eat sensible portions of meats.
everythings unhealthy in large doses, but at the same time, its unhealthy to cut things out of ur diet

I eat meat in decent doses, but I think eating veggies would be a healthier alternative.

in the long run it isnt...because unless u REALLY like peanuts, uve got no way of gettin decent amounts of protein into ur system. lol

Its inevitable that any thread labeled "any vegans out there" will end up with people posting about how great it is to eat meat.

im not saying its great to eat meat tho lol..
im saying its healthier to eat meat in sensible amounts than to completely cut it out of ur diet

idiot
hey, fair is fair lol
