    This is why I don’t like to promote Veganism from a health perspective (at least not solely from a health perspective) - I think it really attracts a lot of orthorexic people or people who tend to gravitate toward really extreme diets. I know a lot of people are introduced to a plant based diet through health and eventually go vegan but i think sometimes it can backfire and attract extreme dieters. We need to be careful when it comes to promoting the healthiness of a plant-based diet and make sure people understand that plant-based diet is NOT a cure all nor is it perfect.

    It is so sad to see veganism being talked about and not once ‘animal suffering’ is mentioned. Most humans are still sooo self centered.

    As a Harvard Educated Medical Doctor (Pathologist) and reading about the Social, Cultural, Environmental, Ethical, Economical, Pharmaceutical, Medical and Compassionate Tenets of Veganism, I am coming to the Conclusion that Veganism is not merely the Future; it is the Only Future.

    Vegan for the animals! The health benefits are just the icing on the cake 👍 Personally I&apos;ve healed my migraines and eczema trough a vegan diet.

    I became Vegan because of the abuse I witnessed in the dairy and meat industries. I&apos;ve had a cow farmer even tell me he wouldn&apos;t drink MILK because of the cruelty in the dairy industry, but he still farms animals and take them to the slaughter house. &nbsp;The violence is so extreme and the abuse of the animals is so vicious in both industries it has to be see. &nbsp;The fish and egg industries are just evil, the fish choke to death slowly and the hens are held in their own filth in crammed conditions and suffer horrific heath issues where they are made to lay eggs until their wombs prolapse. The Sentients Beings are enslaved and are afflicted with heinous brutally, any person with compassion can no longer fund such torture. To say it&apos;s cruel is too weak of a word. I eat a plant based diet and am extremely healthy. There is no excuse.

    Back when veganism was extremely popular on social media 5-7 years ago, I noticed a lot of people said they were vegan who had an eating disorder background. Most of them stopped being vegan because it was just as extreme. They were eating like 20 bananas a day and only eating a giant watermelon for a meal. Of course you&apos;re going to feel unwell eventually if that&apos;s all you&apos;re consuming

    I went vegan for the animals, I never thought about it for my health until much later. I&apos;m vegan for THEM and the planet not for me. I obviously like to eat healthily and that makes me feel amazing but I&apos;ll always be vegan for the animals 💖💔

    Gwyneth that is so embarrassing! Imagine being so uneducated on what she advocates for, she&apos;s just a grifter but didn&apos;t even do her homework 😅

    Thank you. It&apos;s all about the animals for me. I don&apos;t tell people I&apos;m vegan for health reasons. It&apos;s a cruelty issue. Paul McCartney&apos;s statement is true: &nbsp;&quot;If slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone would be vegetarian.&quot; And if dairy farms had glass walls, nobody would eat dairy.
