COMMON QUESTIONS
the answers you need
WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR PROTEIN?
The same place you do. From plants. High in protein, cruelty free, no cholesterol.
WHAT'S WRONG WITH DAIRY AND EGGS?
Eggs are the byproduct of female chickens leaving close to 400 million male chicks per year being killed by means of suffocation in garbage bags or by being murdered in a large blender.
To worsen matters, conditions at egg factory farms are disgusting. Cages are stacked ten high with no less than five birds shoved into a cage 16 X 18 inches. This is about the size of a filing cabinet drawer. Mesh flooring in the cages allows waste to fall through all of the stacked cages. Due to close quarters, hens become lame and develop bone diseases making them immobile. Filthy and miserable conditions for two years of life until slaughter.
BUT I ONLY EAT FISH. CAN FISH FEEL PAIN?
Yes. The pain system in fish is relatively the same in birds and mammals (PETA). Fish have fully developed brains, nervous systems, mouths, emotions such as fear, protection, survival.
WHAT ABOUT B12?
B12 was once naturally occurring on the surface of root vegetables. The chemicals and fertilizers used have caused it to disappear from our soil. Factory farmed animals, never having been outside before, are also supplemented with b12. This vitamin is only found in animals because we put it there.
If you want, you could supplement b12, it won't hurt you. Remember that many foods are fortified with this supplement such as plant based milks.
GOING VEGAN IS TOO EXPENSIVE. HOW CAN I AFFORD IT?
Vegan is not expensive. Prepared vegan products in the store are expensive. Buying the ingredients to create your own recipes is not.
Pasta, rice, tofu, beans, peas, lentils, whole grains, are some of the cheapest items in the store. Definitely cheaper than meat. Buying in bulk is a great way to save some dollars.
Organic may cost more, but isn't your health worth it? Isn't taking care of your ONE body worth the extra dollars? Trust me, you don't want the chemicals sprayed on food in your wonderful system.
IS WINE VEGAN?
Most alcohol has been processed using a filter system with substances called fining agents.
Popular fining agents are:blood and bone marrow, casein (milk protein), fish oil, gelatin (boiled animal parts), isinglass (gelatin from fish bladder).
