The Apricity Vegan Thread

[Brás Garcia de Mascarenhas]

Unlike you I'm not saying "you're 100% wrong, your opinion is false", you however are saying that vegans are totally right and that the problem of them being dicks comes from normal human beings lol + doesn't change the facts vegans use more petroleum products than normal human beings.

You are the one who makes claims and spread unacurate rumours about vegans, like that silly one were you say that we consume more petroleum products than normal human beings...and we have to believe in it because you said so, right? I never said that I am 100% right and you're wrong, we are having a discussion and in a discussion it is normal to have divergent views, do I have to feel sorry now if your comprehension can not handle that?

I tried to go vegan for a couple of weeks but then I gave up for some reasons.

1) It was too expensive because I was buying organic food which costs much more than just regular food. Yes, I could've just bought the regular stuff but I wanted to go hardcore vegan.

2) It was too time consuming because finding food which is suitable for vegans is quite the challenge. I mean, it was pretty difficult in the sense that I had to go out of my way and read labels and check that it was vegan 'safe' instead of just picking it up and being like "yea sure this will do".

3) It was pretty hard in my case because I went straight from eating meat regularly to veganism. I should have taken it slowly instead - maybe transition gradually from eating meat to vegetarian then finally to veganism. It's hard because your body isn't used to just eating vegetables, meaning you get cravings for things and it's really hard to not be able to eat things you once loved like ice cream, chocolate or pizza. Yes, there are vegan alternatives but it's just more money and trying to find vegan alternatives at your local supermarket is limiting because most only have a very small selection.

And let's not get into trying to order food at restaurants

Here's to ya: http://features.peta.org/how-to-wear-vegan/

It's not me who invented it, it's Saint PETA, the mother of all zoophiles. Notice how much synthetics are there?



Also, Vegan Gains:






These people are your representatives.

I was Raw Foodism a time ago, but not exclusively vegan, although I basically ate raw vegetables, and, in at much lesser extent, raw meat (Carpaccio) and raw fish (Sushi). But this kind of diet is a bit expensive and really demands to pass more time cooking, so nowadays I eat a bit of everything, but processed food; of course vegetables remains as my favourite food.
Although I don't recommend veganism/vegetarianism for children or teenagers.

Carbon Footprint of Foods, Ranked



Australian study reveals which foods (hint: animal products) are most environmentally destructive.

Research conducted by the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology ranked the environmental impact—or “carbon footprint”—of foods consumed daily. The group analyzed the effects of raising and growing food for consumption, and compiled a systematic review of 369 published studies to create a comprehensive hierarchical pyramid of where all items fall. Researchers found that fruit, grains, and vegetables carried the smallest carbon footprints, while animal products such as lamb and beef were identified as the most environmentally problematic. Lead researcher Karli Verghese explained the motives behind the study, stating, “We wanted to help people make informed choices, to empower consumers and people working in the food industry who would like to reduce their environmental impact.” This new research confirms that animal agriculture is an environmentally destructive practice—a topic that has been extensively explored ever since the United Nations published a report in 2009 stating that cows produce more methane gas than all transportation combined.

New Yorker Files $5 Million Lawsuit for Beef Found in Fries



Vegetarian sued Buffalo Wild Wings upon discovering undisclosed beef tallow in French fries.

"New Yorker Alexa Borenkoff filed a class-action lawsuit on November 2 against chain restaurant Buffalo Wild Wings. Borenkoff was prompted to file the suit—in which she demands $5 million in damages—after discovering that the restaurant failed to disclose the presence of beef in their vegetarian items. “Buffalo Wild Wings does not list beef tallow as an ingredient, disclose its use on the menu, or reference using beef tallow,” the suit states. The vegetarian consumed French fries and mozzarella sticks at two New York locations of the restaurant last year before discovering the presence of beef fat. This week, Wall Street’s financial news outlet The Street advised investors to “avoid [Buffalo Wild Wings’] stock like the plague,” due to the company’s drop in sales by 3.5-percent weekly. In addition to Buffalo Wild Wings, competitor restaurants—including McDonald’s, where brand executives reported that only one in five millennials have ever tried a Big Mac—have experienced stagnant sales, while those that have heeded increased customer demand for meat-free options (such as Pret a Manger) continue to thrive."


French fries made with beef tallow. The type of shit people are puting in their mouths and another example of the decay that is going on the fast food industry.

Neither one of the poll responses. However, I procure to follow a healthy and balanced diet, that includes enough fruits, greens and vegetables.

[Brás Garcia de Mascarenhas]

Still you are not vegan or vegetarian, you could vote on that option.

Fixed

I voted for that option, but it doesn't mean that I don't eat vegetables, but just that I don't only eat vegetables as vegetarians do.
