Guest guest Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Hi Betty, My husband and I were vegetarian for a long time because we didn't want animals to suffer for our food. We had many justifications about dairy and eggs, we'd buy cage free etc. At the time, I was at an Ag school. When I had to go on the first class trip to a dairy, I immediately decided to go vegan. Don't feel too bad about the plants. They don't have a central nervous system, and, because they cannot move, it doesn't make much sense from an evolutionary stand point for them to feel pain. Besides, unless you've worked out photosynthesis for humans, I don't think you have much choice in the matter. Where are you located? Are there vegan or vegetarian groups in your area? Those can be very fun, especially if you don't know many vegetarians/vegans. I'm 20 days away from moving to central Illinois from Grand Cayman. ~Faith -- In , Elizabeth Harris <vegan_betty wrote: > > hello, > Â > i'm betty and i am a vegan. i've joined this group because i'd love to talk to other people who are vegan... > Â > my family aren't vegan. i chose to be a vegan myself and have been for 2 years (and vegetarian for 3 years before that!). i have chosen this lifestyle because of my morals on how animals should be treated........no living thing should go through so much pain for use to eat.....i don't even like eating plant life really! > Â > did any of you choose to be vegan'out of the blue' or were you brought up like it??? > Â > betty x > > > ________ > Not happy with your email address?. > Get the one you really want - millions of new email addresses available now at http://uk.docs./ymail/new.html > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
