Hey Tishy:

I too found me when I became vegan, and I too finally knew who I really was. Your reason is one of my many reasons for going vegan.:heart:

-Because I'm not afraid of change, I'm not afraid of being different, I'm not afraid of the truth
-Because I'm free from the system of outdated beliefs and greedy consumerism
-Because I leave less of a bad footprint on out lovely planet and can concentrate on leaving only a good mark
-Because I learned how my body works
-Because it helps me lose weight and stay fit
-Because it saves a lot of money
-Because I feel closer to nature
I could go on and on....

As far as I know, many/most (?) Seventh-day Adventists are vegans, and here an article I just came across written by a Seventh-day Adventist doctor who explains why he doesn't eat meat:

Dr. Gary Hullquist, MD: Why I Don’t Eat Meat (http://www.jasperadventist.org/health-meat.html)

Because when I turned vegan some deep down inside me changed and I feel like such a better person.
I love myself more.
I save money on food.
I'm finally passionate about something.
I no longer feel guilty when I eat.
I don't feel embarrassed anymore when I eat in front of people.
When I have binges I know I'm not going to pile the weight on because the food I eat will generally be lower in calories.
I can look at any animal now and not feel guilty.

& Lord Of The Fries burgers and chips are addictive :P

What number are we on?

Because if you are NOT vegan then you have to either say something incredibly stupid OR admit to being a total and utter b'stard everytime you try to justify what you choose to eat.

37. Becaue this is me and this is what i suport and i am proud to say i am a tree - animal hugging hippie :)

38. I couldnt eat people and what gives me the right to eat something that has equal feelings but just dosent have a "voice" :(

39. I couldnt stand there watching a beautiful creature die and lie with the guilt that i could have saved its life - i could have given it a "human voice" :mad:

40. Meat isnt meat when you have a compasinate heart for animals great and small :cool:



blue on grey.... making me crosseyed!! to hard to read man

p.s loving this thread, It's nice to see reasons to reaffirm why we're vegan

42.Because why would they feel pain and sadness if we were supposed to eat them

wow.

I'll be bringing this up at my church group sometimes! if we have two food sources... plants and animals... why are plants without nervous system etc while animals are... surely "god" could have created "meat" that didn't feel pain and scream... because after all he can do "anything"
