 What is to begin a vegan ?

 veganism is an  being perfect isn't about Superior . it's about looking beyond ourselves thinking about how our choices  affect others and choosing to live as  compassionately as we can it's about doing the right thing in a world where  apathy and injustice is the norm and  veganism isn't a Diet, it's not a  religion  it's a lifestyle . 

The Reason to become a vegan.

it's easy right now all  around the world animals are in trucks  on their way to slaughter houses  buildings that we've carefully  constructed so that we can systematically kill and they're terrified the hungry and thirsty and all  they have is each other  staring wide-eyed in fear wondering  what's coming next and when the trucks arrived they're forced off the chutes.  where they walk to their own death  billions of animals are queuing up to be slaughtered and they're so scared there's the smell of blood in the air and they don't want to die living feeling animals go in there and come out  chopped up into hundreds of pieces. so  that we can eat their corpses but the  worst part about it is that we know this is happening but choose to ignore  we've been told the animal products are  the best source of nutrients like  protein iron and calcium but their  benefits have been largely exaggerated in the interest of profit .  

 we don't need  to eat dead animals to be healthy but if  we do eventually they will kill us  animal agriculture is the single most destructive industry on the planet our  current rate of environmental  destruction no child under the age of five will make it past retirement age . so  many people choose to support this on a  daily basis even though most of us  couldn't kill the animals ourselves but it doesn't have to be this way and I  wish I could help you understand because I was the same  I didn't know but then I forced myself  to look I made myself think about what's going on and I realized I couldn't look  into the eyes of an animal and say my taste buds are worth more than your life I realized that we don't need to harm  animals to live a healthy fulfilled life  so I became vegan .

veganism is a  philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude as far as is possible and  practicable or forms of exploitation of  and cruelty to animals for food clothing  or any other purpose which by extension promotes the development and use of  animal free alternatives for the benefit  of humans other animals and the  environment in dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from  animals everyone wants to change the  world but no one really knows how to do  it but veganism is an attainable goal . 

Understand it why 

 it's something we can all do right now and it makes a difference you can stand  up at least 3 times a day and say I'm  opposed to injustice I care about my  health and I care about the state of  this planet and your actions are aligned  with your beliefs and so many people  wonder why vegan and not just vegetarian  it's easy for most of us to understand  that eating meat means an animal has to be killed but realizing the harm dairy and eggs cause requires an understanding of how the animal industries work which  has been hidden from us all our lives the common belief is the cows produced  milk all their lives for humans to drink  and that it causes no harm or suffering but like all mammals cows produce milk for their babies to grow from calves to  cows and bulls because humans desire the  milk that was intended for them the  babies are taken away from their mothers immediately which is one of the most  emotionally devastating things anyone  can ever do the male's usually confined  for about eight weeks then killed for veal the females enjoy the same life as  their mothers they repeatedly impregnated and milked until they around  five years old when they're considered too spent to produce profitable  quantities of milk if left alone cows  can live over 20 years in the dairy  industry will be too expensive to keep  them alive so they're sent to the same  slaughterhouses as their mothers and  babies and distant relatives in the beef  industry it all ends with a bolt to the  head and the knife to the throat and the  egg industry works in a similar way hens   are bred to produce egg-laying chickens they're sorted by sex with the male's  separated from the females since the males are useless to the egg industry they're suffocated or ground up alive  and used for cheap meat the females are  deep eked and made to produce eggs until  they're no longer profitable hens can  normally live over six years old in the  egg industry they are sent off a sorter  around one to two years and these basic violations of freedom occur whether it's  an organic free-range or so-called high  welfare farm.
