  • What? You don’t eat cats, okay. But what’s the point?

    There is nothing wrong with being an omnivore lol. Sure, it’s just what you are. Does being an omnivore mean you HAVE TO eat meat or do you think that the scientific consensus might be that we don’t have to?

    And if we don’t have to, what’s the main reason why you still eat it? Taste? Personal pleasure? Do you think that this is a good justification for harming other individuals?

    You can’t be ethical about “killing individuals that don’t want to die for trivial reasons like taste pleasure” which might sound a bit overexaggerated at first, however if you look it up and find out that you don’t have to eat any meat, you’ll see that it’s exactly that. It’s not ethical.

    Test if by changing the situation while you keep the logic. Tell me where personal sensory pleasure is a legit justification to bring harm or death upon individuals


  • Well, why not start with gradual changes?

    If you feel bad, you already made the first step: listening to yourself because you already realised how wrong it is.

    If you need motivation, watch dominion. I think it’s fair to say that people should have footage like that in the back of their mind when they want to enjoy animal products.

    You might not believe me, but changing things like your diet to be free of any animal cruelty feels fucking great, and it just takes a certain amount of time to learn new recipes and then it’s just easy going.

    I can help you with whatever you struggle with if you ever need some help















  • Edit: Oh sorry, this was one year ago. I didn’t see

    Same here. We were worried as well, although everything seemed fine because we had expensive supplements all the way. However, my wife then decided to eat eggs again because she was too scared that she was not eating enough of certain nutrients (this was based on scientific research about vegan diets during pregnancy and one key nutrient was cholin, which is high in eggs, plus extreme cravings my wife started to have for eggs out of nowhere during pregnancy)



  • I have to admit that we broke with it in pregnancy.

    But the reason was that we searched for the latest information about eating vegan during pregnancy and it was a bit confusing. Some sources said it’s save when you have some food supplements (which we had), but others said there is always a certain risk especially in regard to cholin. So that’s why my wife decided that she will eat eggs. She also had this inner desire for it during pregnancy that you typically get when you miss out on any nutrient (like when your body needs iron, you might get this inner desire for foods that are high in iron) and that was gone within a week after our child was born.

    And I say “we broke” because it was our decision. I personally didn’t change anything. We found a local source for the eggs where the circumstances for the chicken could be described as the best circumstances you can have, although I don’t know where they get their chicken from (probably from the industry)

    Btw, I always said that I wouldn’t change anything, not even in pregnancy if there is no latest evidence proving the vegan diet to be very risky, but when you are at that point, you wan’t it to be 100% safe. So that’s why we figured that we will do it that way
