Why Vegan

Compassion

We all will say that we love animals. And we're all against animal cruelty but we pay people to mutilate, torture, and slaughter animals. And it's not for any necessity. It's not because we need it for our health. It's just because we like the way it taste.

I'm vegan for the female cows who are artificially raped then have their babies taken away to their death.
I'm vegan for the cows who were beaten when they're too sick to walk themselves to their own slaughter.
I'm vegan for the elephants in chains at the circus who have been beaten to perform.
I'm vegan for the orcas who are stolen from their families and forced to entertain.
I'm vegan for the chickens who are debeaked then forced into small cages.
I'm vegan for the male chicks who are tossed into a grinder alive.
I'm vegan for the pigs who slammed to pieces on the ground.
I'm vegan for the bunnies who are tested on for makeup.
I'm vegan for the foxes who are skinned alive for fur.

But most importantly I'm vegan because I reject slavery, cruelty, and murder.

Environment

Animal agriculture is the leading cause of planet's environmental destruction. For it consumes 1/3 of all fresh water, occupies 45% of earth's land, and causes 91% of the Amazon destruction. By saving one animal's life, we have the power to save over 1,100 gallons of water, 45 pounds of grain, 30 square feet of forest land, and 20 pounds of CO2.

These facts are from a documentary produced by Leonardo Di Caprio. As our population increases then it is simply not sustainable to have the devastating effect animal agriculture has on our planet. www.cowspiracy.com

If there was a way to be healthy while saving animals and helping protect the planet. Why wouldn't you do it? It's easy to be vegan. We don't need to eat animals. We benefit in every conceivable way from not eating them.

He is very enthusiastic about his vegan diet and he feels great, "I get these explosions of energy. I don’t know how long they last, but they’re like explosions. So powerful. ...I feel awesome...Incredible. I wish I was born this way. When you find out about the processed stuff you have been eating. I wonder why I was crazy all those years....All that garbage I was eating running around..."

Plant based fiber rich diets are recommended to prevent cancer, as well as chronic conditions associated with kidney cancer, such as obesity, high blood pressure, and diabetes.

Kidneys are highly vascular organs. Animal protein, animal fat, and cholesterol are associated with declining kidney function. Protein in the urine test can be an early warning sign for kidney failure, heart disease, and sexual dysfunction The kidney diet

The two kidneys filter through our entire blood supply. The standard American diet is very toxic to the blood vessels in our heart and brain. Researchers at Harvard followed thousands of women for a decade. They examined their diets, and their kidney function. They were looking for the presence of protein in the urine, known as microalbuminuria. There is not supposed to be any protein in our urine. Microalbuminuria is like a canary in a coal mine, indicating the beginning sign of kidney failure.

Alkaline producing fruits and vegetables helped relieve the mild acidosis that occurs with the ingestion of the standard American diet. An alkaline diet benefits health. It is a diet high in fruits and vegetables with lots of dark green leafies and low in all acid producing, meat, eggs, and dairy. The average vegetarian diet is alkaline producing, and the average meat-eating diet is acid producing.

The benefits of having alkaline urine appear to lower risk of kidney stones and better uric acid clearance. Researchers found that alkalization of the urine is effective for removing uric acid from the body. The measure of urine pH can determine if diet is unhealthy acidic. Those eating plant-based diets are at an advantage of being healthy.
