Me too. I tried it and it didn’t work out. On the bright side, my meat consumption dropped a ton. Now I only eat meat once a week on average, twice a week at most. 

This is the ideal situation. The world doesn't need to STOP eating meat but reducing how much animal product you consume is key.

I've been vegetarian for 9 years, and I've gotta say, there's no way a man is gonna convince me to go back to eating meat    if he really cares about me he will take me as I am. I change for noone but me.

Also I'm sure these figures are affected by the wave of veganism as a fad the past 5-10 years. People jump on the bandwagon for 3 weeks and then give up.

I've been one for 20 years

You don’t love animals stfu. Eat all the meat you want but don’t be an fool cause all you do is that. Fool yourself. 

 

There’s no need to be so rude 

animals kill and eat other animals, why can’t we?  

Today I learned that broccoli has incredible amounts of protein. So guess what I added to my grocery list?  

I really can’t see myself becoming vegetarian in the next 5-10 years but people change so never say never I guess 

Veganism is a straight no for me though. Milk runs through my veins

80% of people that make any difficult change to their habits go back to doing what they did before, that's just human nature.

This is such a dumb statistic floated out every now and then to try and  make vegan/vegetarian diets look unsustainable

if you educate yourself properly and EAT ENOUGH of the right foods 99.999% of people can live perfectly healthy and thriving lives being vegan

If you ever run into someone who is sympathetic to the damage to the environment but aren't interested in going vegetarian or vegan, you could try to convince them to prioritize eating pasture-raised and grass-fed animals, especially from local farms. These conditions are not only more humane for the animals, but also have a significantly smaller impact on the environment compared to industrial farming. 

not the case, if all the meat-eaters  switched to grass-fed/pasture-raised meat we'd run out of space on planet Earth to raise all these animals

it would be nicer for the animals and perhaps lead to less intensive farming chemical run-off but it's completely  unsustainable at the current rate of meat consumption

the amazon rain forest  is already being rapidly deforested to  make space for cattle pasture and to grow crops to feed livestock

less-meat consumption means more agricultural land available to grow more than enough crops to feed our global human population and room left-over to reforest in an effort to combat wide-mass extinction of indigenous species

That is a lame excuse and I admit I used it too for a long time. „other animals“ have this as their natural instinct and as a survival technic. We can survive without meat... as you said yourself, you find your proteins in broccoli. So you awnsered your question yourself

My fiance and I were vegan for an entire year, and then moved out of the state we were in. That caused us to have to be vegetarian, as cooking wasnt much of an option with everything getting packed and vegan meals at restaurants or fast food was close to impossible. Moved to the new state, started asking where good places were to buy vegan friendly options or even go out to eat and everyone would just say, "what's vegan." 🙄 

I miss it tho. It was a much healthier lifestyle, lost a bunch of weight, felt amazing the entire time. The only thing I never kind of, "missed," was chicken but it wasnt bad enough to make me stop.

Just gonna leave this here... 

"Will Smith and wife Jada Pinkett Smith have staged an ‘intervention’ after his vegan diet turned his skin ‘grey’.

The musician and actor’s parents have said they were forced to get involved when the low levels of protein in Jaden’s body started to leave him looking ‘drained’.

Speaking on Red Table Talk, Jade said: ‘Will and I had a bit of an intervention with Jaden because he’s a vegan now, but we realised he wasn’t getting enough protein.

‘So he was wasting away. He just looked drained, he was just depleted, he wasn’t getting the nutrients.’"

He really looks wasted because of his vegan diet. He looks much older than what he is, because of his vegan diet...   He has gone back to eating meat because he needs the essential nutrients found in meat. 

Grass fed red meats are what we should be eating. I'm on a keto/carnivore diet and I have never felt better. I lost so much weight BUT I gained muscle out of it. It has reset my hormones and I am feeling good. There are others like me too.

Back in cavemen times, we hunted for our food. Infact, if there were nothing modern around we would sill be hunting for our food. We had to do that to survive... we DO have that instinct too.  And we actually cant survive without meat... we are not built to just eat vegetables

As they should. We need meat or at least animal products like milk. I'm always shook when I see how people were before they went vegan and how they're now. They don't look healthy at all.

We do not need milk at all.

I’ve been one for 2 years and I can’t even imagine myself eating meat again, for me, it’s disgusting

Ultimately, the dog chose the meat filled dish

I dont like Vegans and the idea of it, but it is possible to be a healthy Vegan if you do it the right way and live on supplements. Most people who do that diet eat junk processed vegan food which is why they stay unhealthy.

You said it, back in time... With the solutions we got today we got other solutions. Yes we do have that instinct too but we have enough brain to control that instinct and find new ways.

Also we can survive without meat? At least you can prove me that a vegetarian (not even vegan) person died because of the vegetarism...(speaking of a person who is totally healthy and doesn‘t „need“ meat)

I don‘t say everyone has to become vegan or vegetarian but as you said in your previous post, esting less and local/free land meat is already a soultion. But as an other user figured it out, the land wouldn’t be enough to feed humanity at this consumption rate...
