Why Veganism
Why
veganism you ask?
It really comes down to three things:
It is better for my body, the environment
and the animals.
I could spend my entire day writing this so
I will keep it short and then share some good sources to learn more from at the
end.
We dont need it?
Animal products for many reasons are not
meant to be consumed by the body. The biology of a human body is made up to be
a herbivore from our jaw to the length of our intestine or even the PH level of
our bodies makes it clear we aren’t omnivores but actually in the herbivore
range.
When it comes to the environmental aspects
animal agriculture definitely has one of the leading negative impacts, a
billion animals are killed a week, what happens to the fecal matter you ask?
Often its just dumped into rivers. Animal agriculture contributes to land and
water degradation, biodiversity loss, acid rain, coral reef degeneration and
deforestation. Livestock farming contributes to 18% of human produced
greenhouse gas emissions worldwide.
As I mentioned before there are a billion
animals killed a week just for us to eat. These animals do not get to live a good
live, the chickens you eat are bred to just get so fat they cannot even walk anymore.
If making this many animals live a horrible life is not enough imagining your
baby being forcefully taken away after you give birth or just being in
existence long enough to get fat and then murdered. Why do we have to kill
innocent beings? Especially when we don’t need meat in our diet, and actually
its much better for us not to eat animal products health wise. The only thing
we get from animals that we cannot get naturally on a vegan diet is B12, the
only reason an animal has B12 is due to the fact that they are injected with it
so then we get it second hand. Why not just supplement ourselves?
Anyways here are some links I found useful
in learning about Veganism! Good luck to you all!
