    "Love" animals is terrible framing.
    I don't love 99.999999999% of the nonhuman and human animals whom I unequivocally respect.
    We don't have to love someone to respect them......it doesn't even make sense to suggest that the converse to disrespecting animals is to love them.

    • @CheapLazyVegan
      @CheapLazyVegan  5 років тому +32

      this is very true. I guess I was trying to the point that it's ridiculous that so many people claim to love animals yet have no problem supporting an industry that is so cruel to them at the same time. Even though we shouldn't even have to love animals to not cause harm to them.

      Cheap Lazy Vegan I definitely see your point, Rose..because so many people will say that they love dogs and cats and so would never harm them. The thing is, when they say they love animals, they just mean the one's that they've been conditioned not to eat. But you also get people going to farms and zoos saying that they love the cows, sheep and pigs, etc..and then going home to eat a steak. They are completely disconnected. I have a woman at my job who took her grandkids to see farm animals and gushed how cute they were..but when I said that I see cows, pigs, chickens and sheep the same way as dogs and cats, she said that she didn't agree. People are so brainwashed and ignorant. It's sad. But I can't say anything because I used to be the same way. 😳 xx

      Almost all vegans were culturally conditioned in a similar way....you and I are no exception, of course.
      My point about framing the issue as "love" is that:
      1) love is a deeply emotional feeling that the vast majority of people reserve for special individuals in their lives
      2) people who eat meat generally don't hate those animals they are eating; the flip side to disrespecting the life and autonomy of those animals is not "love" but rather "respect"
      3) most people will never feel a deep emotional connection ("love") with all or even most animals so if we are to convey a message about the way we ought to treat animals, "loving them" is just not going to work for the vast majority of animals.....but respecting the life of an animal can work for most peoplke I'd argue since people don't need to feel a deep emotional connection to all animals in order to not disrespect their life/autonomy.

      If everyone stopped eating meat, the industry would collapse and farming certain breeds would become extinct. Choosing to be vegan doesn't make you morally altruistic or fashionable. It makes you a hypocrite because in the long term, you're preventing animal life in the way you claim us "evil" meat eaters do.

  • @MegaZepplin
    @MegaZepplin 5 років тому +213

    The hypocrisy is what gets to me as well. It is so hard to not say anything when people talk about things like the 'dog meat festival'. Like I'm glad they are upset about it but like......pigs are just as smart as dogs and if it's not ok to torture and kill dogs for meat then it's not ok for this to be happening to ANY animal. The picking and choosing of what animals are ok to torture is what drives me crazy. I try really hard to not be "that vegan" that is preachy and annoying but at the end of the day I can't stand it. I know so much of it is just willful ignorance. You're turning a blind eye but for what reason? Taste? Convenience? Sorry I went on a tangent it's just so upsetting and I hold my tongue ALL the time.

      I get what your saying, it’s difficult to understand sometimes, I turned vegan last September, unfortunately I lost a lot of weight and I’m already skinny, I’ll probably try again when I’m living in my own place because I think you know that if you crave a food like broccoli for example, then your body is telling you, you need those nutrients and i don’t want to disrespect the person making the food by saying I wanted something else, you know? However, I am still vegetarian and i remember how it shocked me how all the adverts didn’t have actual animals in them when I turned veggie! They had families eating fish fingers and chicken nuggets and it hit me how brainwashed I’d been for so long 🤯 it’s so normal in our culture, I know it’s not supposed to be but it is

      @@thecatface8255 I originally had the same thought, but I've changed my mind on that once I learned how bad meat and dairy are for you and that they are simply not needed. A proper vegan diet has already been approved by all stages of life by the american and uk dietetic association, so as long as you eat a good, whole foods, plant based diet. If when they are older they want to choose then fair enough, but I don't see it is the same as religon due to the increased risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. There are more things than this but I don't want to rant to much.
      TLDR: I used to think it was a purely ethical choice just like religion, but after looking into a lot of scientific literature I think its better to raise them vegan and then let them choose when they can risk assess themselves.

      It's dangerous to go vegan while being pregnated. Please consider eating some animal based protein (while you're pregnated) in order to give your children nutrients needed for a correct development and don't depleat yourself from them. Once your child is born you can go back to vegan.
      Raising a vegan child its not the safest move as there's still a lot of controversy on benefits vs cons. and the posibble consecuences for health in human beings on development.
      On the other hand, many adults (25yr old and on) do great on vegan diet since our body has the ability to recycle proteins.

    When I ate meat I used to think critically, I used to think that every living organism wants to survive- onions and chillis have their own defence mechanisms. I also thought that if we had to take supplements (vitamin b12 and omega 3) instead of eating meat then surely we’re supposed to eat meat. However, then I thought about the environment and thought actually if taking a couple of pills and changing what I eat a bit every day can help the planet, then ok I’ll give it a go!

      Victoria-Louise Sweet after watching Cowspiracy I decided to go vegan. It wasn't for the animal cruelty, or the possible health benefits of a vegan diet, or even the side effect of having a lower grocery bill. All of those other reasons became just as important after the first "mental click". That click will be different for everyone. Which is why we should all remain patient with those who haven't made the switch yet. Compassion for animals was a learned thing for me. I decided to do my part to protect the environment by voting with my dollar. No longer spending money on animal products. It may seem strange after growing up in a household with cats and dogs and birds and hamsters and snakes as pets. I was one of those people who grew up in a place where it wasn't even a consideration that cows, chickens, bees, pigs -and every other living thing- are equal to us. I was raised Baptist Christian. "Turn the other cheek" "Do unto others as you'd have done unto you" none of that mattered when it came to the dinner plate. Thanks for the internet. The wealth of knowledge has been a wonderful help.

      @@rc9638 completely agree that we all have our own switch. Mine was when a colleague said its just a choice you make every meal. It made it a lot easier to stop eating meat because instead of saying 'I can never eat meat again.' It was 'I'm so lucky that I can choose because think of all the people that don't have homes that can't choose to be picky about what they eat.'

    Today my class had to present their homework essay about wether or not they think not eating meat is good and most of them have written that it‘s good to eat less meat and to get that meat from a farmer, that is treating the animals good. But they ALL argumented, that you wouldn‘t get the nutrients you need without eating meat. I was so shocked. I really thought, that no one still thinks that, I know that there are some people that don‘t know how you get b12 if you are vegan (which I am) , not just vegetarian. Bit that‘s just so stupid, why do people still think that??? They just see that as a FACT and never read anything about it or inform themselves .. And also they don‘t even know how unhealthy they are, if they eat Chicken Burgers at school and that other junk food that we sadly have here, they think they get their important nutrients from that stuff?!?! And then they‘re trying to criticize me for not eating that junk and really being concious of what I eat and which nutrients and calories there are in it. Ugh .. I just don‘t know what to say. And I can‘t even explain to them, why that is my choice, because when I tell them, that I don‘t want to harm any animal, they just make jokes about me or accuse me of being an ,,angry vegan‘‘, even though I NEVER say ANYTHING if they‘re sitting next to me, eating a hotdog. But if I eat a vegan yoghurt or sth next to them, they have to make fun of me. It‘s so sad...

      I do have lot of interactions in high school and at work with non-vegans and I can tell you that all the hate comes from them becuase you as a vegan are a reminder for them that they do the wrong thing paying for dead animals and for cruelty. Always remember that you actually do the right thing and there should always be more compassionate people like you. 💚🌱🌱

    • @user-lz7oy7st3p
      @user-lz7oy7st3p 5 років тому +11

      Also the argument that they should buy from a local farmer is bullshit as they care only about their stomachs, not about the animals. I'm pretty sure 95% of them buy from McDonald's and KFC which is not anywhere near "farm animals that are treated well". Search for *Earthling Ed* and you'll see some videos that he made in the past about overused arguments against veganism. Watch a few of them and you'll have enough information to respond back to your colleagues.

I want to be able to grab a coffee anywhere knowing theres soy milk in it, but those options just aren't there most of the time. When we first told our bestfriends they said "check your bank account before saving the planet, you dont need to go extreme, we're at the top of the food chain" etc. And that really is so frustrating I couldn't believe their lack of support. I know that's one thing an individual really has to get used to when they make the change.. so for now I wont talk about it with anyone unless I'm asked about it. It will get easier! And I'm not going back! 🌱🌍🐄

I had to sit at the table for hours, didn’t get to watch TV as a child because I refused to eat meat unless my dog came to save me. When I went to college, I never ate meat again. I think making children eat meat is abuse. I became a vegan a few years ago, thanks to you and other vegans on UA-cam. You rock. I am turning 60 next month.

      Does that mean I’m going to hell for eating steak? I
      I mean, I have full respect for vegans (or anyone else who hasn’t done anything wrong) however, I draw the line when people interfere/shade others’ lives for doing their own thing. I’ve been told I would never know if I won’t like it until I try it, so I did for 2 months. I can safely say that I didn’t like it very much. As someone who has an extremely fast metabolism, I didn’t get NEARLY enough nutrients in my body, causing me malnourishment, iron deficiency/lack of energy, headaches, constipation, and stomach cramps. I went back to eating meat but like anything, I ate it in moderation.
      But, not that I am angry at you I’m just asking, does that make me a bad person?;
      I ask you.

When I first went vegan I was full of life and I was so energized all the time like crazy and that's definitely not the case anymore not saying i'm not happy i am but the energy sometimes idk what's happening, do you have any tips for me?

      Another alternative you can experiment with:
      -Ask a vegan group in your area where you can find Kala Namak aka ‘black salt’. It’s an Indian spice that makes things taste eggy. Vegans will crumble up medium firm tofu into a pan with a few pinches of black salt, and then you add w/e else you normally add (veggies, other spices, a vegan cheese) It’s yummy, I enjoy it in wraps with salsa too :)

    Thanks for this video! I follow mostly a plant based diet at home but I am not vegan because of the social struggles you mentioned. I had depression in the past and still fight with it so the social aspect is a big problem for me. When I was more strict with my food a few years ago, the discussions all the time really made it difficult on me. I don't want to be questioned all the time, it makes me really anxious having to explain myself all the time. Even when I minded my buisness I was questioned ALL the time by a lot of peole (Omg, why are you just eating corn at this BBQ?, Discussions that soy is the biggest evil ever because I ate a veggie sausage and people thought they had to comment and things like that).
    I know others should not bother me but it bothers me alot. I eat plant based whenever I can but I will adapt so I don't stand out in social situations.
    I always try to better myself and wont be bothered as much... hopefully, one day😢

The biggest challenge I notice is that people really don't want to cook for themselves.

    In regards to Ethics, there's also another step to it as well!
    Most humans believe that Humans have a non-trivial moral status due to a specific trait. (P1)
    _(Basically, most humans think the unjustified killing of other humans is wrong.)_
    If this trait is what gives humans a non-trivial moral status, then *all* beings with this trait should _also_ have a non-trivial moral status. (P2)
    _(Basically, if the trait is "sentience", then the unjustified killing of all sentient beings is wrong.)_
    What trait is absent in non-human animals, which, if absent in a human, would cause the human to not have non-trivial moral status?
    _(Example: You could say intelligence. What would this mean? Basically, if a human has the same intelligence of an animal, that it wouldn't be morally wrong to kill them. Obviously, most people would say killing mentally handicapped people is wrong.)_
    There is no trait that separates us. (P3)
    Therefore;
    Sentient non-human animals have non-trivial moral status. (C)
    _(This would mean going vegan)._
    If anybody wants to try naming a trait, please feel free to reply!
