[foxx]

I just finished reading a 10 page debate on it, and it was interesting, so i would like to hear what your views on it are.
I would like to keep this somewhat unviolent, so if you have something rude to say, please keep it to yourself.
heres my story.


I was a vegetarian for 11 months, im 13.[youngstfuz], and my body couldnt handle it. I kept getting sick week after week after week, and i was losing weight rapidly, and becoming unhealthy. Yes, i ate my green vegetables, and plenty of beans and rice milk for iron/protein, all that stuff. I dont know why, but i am slowly easing back into a meat diet, i try not to eat it alot, just enough to keep me alive and healthy.

^Do you not realize that veganism is more than not eating meat? It's also not eating dairy products, eggs, honey, etc., so to say that "eating veggies and all them dairy products is good for you [sic]," you're completely missing the point.

I'm all for ending animal cruelty. I don't eat very much meat as it is. But I'm sure as hell not going to give up my egg and dairy products, just because some practices are inhumane. My vastly limiting my own diet is not going to help a damn thing; I get that often times people do it on principle, but frankly I don't like vegetables enough. And where honey is concerned, what other good do bees serve? I have a friend who's trying to become a vegan, and it did not take very long to have him eating honey out of the bottle and shouting "f**k the bees!" with us. I just find it silly, and it's very very hard to have a balanced diet that way. I'm totally cool with vegans, because what other people eat or don't eat doesn't really concern me, but it's kind of a delusion.
