After seeing video like this does it make you rethink eating meat?

My youngest brother is vegan, and of the four of us boys, he’s probably the healthiest of the four.

myself, I eat things that had parents.

I wouldn’t do it personally unless it was giving me digestive issues. Though I have cut out things that don’t seem to agree with me whether it’s meat related or not.

Should go good with that soy latte, satchel, and man bun you’ve been rocking, OP.

For good measure, go buy an extra pair of skinny jeans while you’re at it.

Go vegan, not for me. But I certainly support getting food that's as far away from factory farming as possible.
Thanks for a serious response. I was definitely waiting for all the soy boy comments.

I've been debating this myself. I have had friends that have tried to do it but there are certain things they are not willing to give up. It definitely is an adjustment. If you do decide to do it, good luck. Let us know how it goes.

FlahDah man.
something special about killing and cleaning your own game and fish. Animals eating animals is as natural as breathing. My grandfather worked at a meat processing plant in Cincinnati before he got a nice union job for GM. He could not eat steak and the smell of raw meat kicked his ass. He was a tough sob too.

I would not go vegan. But I don't care for the way they are beaten to death....sad to watch. There has to be a more humane way.

I'm not vegan, but eat vegan based meals frequently. I'm actually very impressed with taste of the Purple Carrot meals. I really enjoy them. If you need extra protein, they have their TB12 (yes, it's soy boi brady's line, ugh) that are more satiating. I myself just get the regular ones and add some chicken for that same reason....that and because, ya know, meat.

A bit pricey, but they have random ingredients included that I would never have in my pantry, so that makes it nice to try interesting ingredients, e.g Jackfruit, tempeh, gai lan, etc

I can understand the not wanting to be part of animal cruelty, but there are plenty of animal products that can be consumed that are ethical choices. There also has to be a line where you put different value on different animals's lives or you'd stop driving your car and killing thousands of insects. Humane slaughtering of domesticated livestock that only exist for human consumption doesn't bother me at all.

Context is everything.

As a former personal trainer for 10+ years, i can tell you definitively that if you’re a family of horribly eating hungry hungry hippos, then yes, the vegan will be the ‘healthy’ one.

If there is any type of weight training involved, the vegan will absolutely fall off quickly minutes into thier training session. I’ve personally witnessed it too many times to count.

If you’re so butthurt about animal cruelty, then stick to the ‘clean’ meats instead like chicken, turkey, and fish.

hell no, but I go way out of my way to buy meat from humane places and game meat. I do absolutely hate the pork industry and will not buy pork any more. Eating meat does not make you any more/less of a man but being Vegan is NOT a healthy life style
