    I watched this video and was curious why she's so passionate about veganism so i watched the first documentary she mentioned 'Earthlings'. Straight after i became vegan as I was completely unaware of the truth about the meat and dairy industry.
    People who hate on this are just uneducated and if everyone took the time to acknowledge what they're eating/drinking on a daily basis they would too be vegan. The animal suffering is vile and must be stopped so thank you Alissa for educating me and changing my lifestyle. Vegan since 9th September :)

      @YoStefan No, and I really don't care since this band desperately tries to appea to people who are 50 years or older. I'm not a 50 year old man who wants to listen to Death Metal but but says that it is too heavy for him when he listens to real death metal, therefore I do not feel the need to further spend time informing myself about them. But a comment like this is totally okay, this is something else entirely and spending time on writing this definitely doesn't clash with what I said about it earlier.

    I'd say the hardest problems against veganism actually happen in less developed countries, such as Brazil. 'Choosing' amon milk isn't an option because it tends to cost twice as much compared to cow's milk. And we have to deal with money shortages and that kind of stuff so, yes, I do want a vegan lifestyle, but it's really hard on places where being vegan is still an elitist option :(
    But go on with this, girl, you're amazing for what you do and who you are. Being vegan is just another amazing thing you do ❤️

      As a vegan in a wealthy country, I think the important thing is reducing suffering as much as you are able to. If vegan food is too expensive and you're very limited on money, it's understandable you are going for the cheaper animal products. While buying cow milk, you should still be able to buy lentils, chikpeas or beans instead of cow meat. Also, you might be buying cow milk for the calcium, but don't forget that collards, bok choy, mustard greens, turnip greens and brocoli are also good sources of calcium (I don't which of those are cheap enough in your country).

We got this far as humanity by being hunters, not by eating like wussy little Rabbits, and I don't want to go vegan, what does having no balls have to do with not wanting to succumb to crap meals ... I like what I like and intolerant fascists need to step back! lol And what we have done to our planet has to do with several other things before we even get into eating meat, so many other things like building bigger bombs, allowing communism to take over western nations, this new generation having no patience due to everything being at an instant for them, and they freak out when a download takes more than five seconds., not giving a damn about the past, who the hell hasn't seen the Goonies, millennials that's who, we are all doomed, those that don't learn from the past are doomed to repeat it.

    I live in a household where my sister is a lifelong vegan, my mum a vegetarian and I'm a meat eater. I tried vegetarianism for 6 weeks for my sister, but it was just too difficult for me personally. I didn't like the taste of any of the meat alternatives and ended up eating nothing but steamed vegetables for the entire 6 weeks. By the end of it I was counting down the minutes until I could eat again. Now I am "meat reducing" (if that's even a thing), and only eat meat once a week. Surely it's better than nothing? I do have to call out one thing from the video though. She says that veganism "doesn't cost anything", but that is absolutely false. Vegan foods are much, much more expensive - I guess because they aren't widely adopted at this time.

      See, this is a sensible take, I would say. I'm definitely not vegan (my brain does not work like that) but I've tried vegan diets and was never able to stay on them more than a few months. I just wound up eating beans, rice, and nuts (was not good). I would go out to vegan places, but there aren't many around, especially by where I work. To buy vegan food at a store (Whole Foods...) and cook it is much more expensive and time consuming, and I've never been able to cook tempeh or seitan and make them not taste really nasty. Being a working American who has always punched in and out for work makes it hard, but I could see someone living with their parents, working under the table, and being vegan easier. She's trying to advocate for vegan diets, but people in the know do know that it's a very difficult lifestyle change. Also, you can forget about eating foods that coworkers bring in for the team. If eating is at all a social thing for you, you better find vegans who are free and bearable to be around... Good luck. I've tried it, it's not for me.

      Veganism is a way of living which seeks to exclude, as far as is possible and practicable, all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose. It's not about going beyond what is possible for you. Also, focus on new foods. Fruit, greens, vegetables, etc. All foods. When you're eating everything, you will even forget about meat.

    I was vegetarian for almost a year. it's tough because you can't just eliminate meat from your diet, you need to re-think how you approach food and nutrition as a whole. long story short, you really need to cook your own food. this is especially true if you are vegan. in fact, if you are vegan, there is no way around it, you have to become your own chef. I gave up my vegetarianism because I was just consuming WAY too many carbohydrates. You go out to eat with friends, and you eat the chips and salsa, the bread, and the rice. before you know it, you just consumed enough carbs for an entire week within a 1 hour period. So, like I said, you need to re-think how approach food. it's a fantastic healthy way to live but you need to do your research and be open minded. I have no clue how she does it on the road, though I am sure Arch Enemy gets decent catering most of the time. If you are an indie band, most small cities, small towns, and rural towns WILL NOT have veg-friendly restaurants, and you're stuck eating truck stop food.

Plants interact with their environment. Suffering is an animal trait, you need some animal parts like a nervous system and a brain to be able to suffer. I think the biological reason is that animals usually cant afford to lose limbs or blood but plants more often can lose branches or leaves or some fluids and recover.

Then I just get bombarded with shit like "There is no way you can get enough protein or Iron like that" or "Fuck that I don't think I could ever do that" plus may more remarks which I also don't mind. Then everyone tries to convince me to go back to what they are eating. Not cool, keeping in mind I don't even mention I am vegan once for this all to happen.

    Im against animal cruelty but one thing I know for a fact is the circle of life has to happen for the earth to sustain animals and itself. Take Yellowstone for example, they had lost the population of wolves and as a result elk ate everything down to the point they did't have much else to eat. That then turns into animals slowly starving and possibly dying off if conditions worsen. When they reintroduced wolves the elk changed their eating habits and it allowed the ecosystem as a whole get healthier.
