But you recognize it as a valid movement. i'm trying to accept that as part of non duality / integral perspectives everything has a certain validity - i am trying to come to terms with the fact that different people think, perceive & apprehend life & reality in vastly different ways & trying to come to more of an acceptance of it all. This can be very hard concerning certain areas. i don't think that anything is now going to save this 'civilisation' - i think we're doomed longer term. Sure the Vegan Movement is valid, so are loads of other movements. i am not a vegan but i have cut right down on meat eating. My view is that we should be focused on an entirely different global system / civilisation. As it is a lot of people seem hell bent on re-running all the crap of the 20th Century - & i think it is Insane, but back to my first point.

But you recognize it as a valid movement. i know some of the people in a local Vegan group - the are totally anti the system, but still use a lot of it's benefits, they all do a lot of flying & driving - they are staunch flat earthers, anti science / state that everything is a lie that NASA says / moon landings & space flight is fake / Global Warming & the environmental crisis is a Lie etc & are big supporters of Jordan Peterson & Alt Right Politics. Very anti LGBT. Very anti socialism. They all seem very into Hindu Deities. All sounds Legit.

Some vegans are chumps - I am with you there. Often the best way is just to do your own thing and forget about others. You think a lot of the larger picture cpu, may I remind you that spirit believes earth people have goodness in them at the core.

Yes i think people are good at core - i just get frustrated with life & how i perceive a lot of things are.

British Dietetic Association confirms well-planned vegan diets can support healthy living in people of all ages www.bda.uk.com/news/view?id=179&fbclid=IwAR09okU47jV8R2cgYQEb4jxB8Pcqtbj7k5LJ96MhiHlJsWlRHQZAd7NRArY07 August 2017 One of the UK’s longest-standing organisations that represents dietetics and nutrition, the British Dietetic Association, has affirmed that a well-planned vegan diet can “support healthy living in people of all ages” in an official document signed by its CEO. The British Dietetic Association (BDA), founded in 1936, is the professional association and trade union for dietitians in Great Britain and Northern Ireland. It is the nation’s largest organisation of food and nutrition professionals with over 9,000 members. The BDA has renewed its memorandum of understanding with The Vegan Society to state that a balanced vegan diet can be enjoyed by children and adults, including during pregnancy and breastfeeding, if the nutritional intake is well-planned. The memorandum is building upon the existing working relationship between the BDA and Vegan Society and the previous agreement about vegan diets in 2014. By combining their strengths, both organisations are committed to bringing reliable information to anyone consuming or considering a plant-based diet.

Vegan and Plant-Based Diets Worsen Brain Health Neuroscience NewsNEUROSCIENCE NEWSSEPTEMBER 1, 2019 neurosciencenews.com/vegan-diet-brain-health-14845/Summary: Eating a vegan or plant-based diet can be bad for your brain health, especially if you already have a low choline intake, researchers report. Source: BMJ "The momentum behind a move to plant-based and vegan diets for the good of the planet is commendable, but risks worsening an already low intake of an essential nutrient involved in brain health, warns a nutritionist in the online journal BMJ Nutrition, Prevention & Health. To make matters worse, the UK government has failed to recommend or monitor dietary levels of this nutrient — choline — found predominantly in animal foods, says Dr. Emma Derbyshire, of Nutritional Insight, a consultancy specializing in nutrition and biomedical science. Choline is an essential dietary nutrient, but the amount produced by the liver is not enough to meet the requirements of the human body. Choline is critical to brain health, particularly during fetal development. It also influences liver function, with shortfalls linked to irregularities in blood fat metabolism as well as excess free radical cellular damage, writes Dr Derbyshire."

I take a ying yang approach to veganism. This means I consider myself 90% vegan. Today I ate fish and chips for example. Most of the time my meals are vegan. There are real health benefits.
I do not believe in a black and white approach, since I consider that impossible.

i was thrilled to hear about 'Greggs' vegan sausage roll' & Mc Donalds new 'vegetarian Happy Meal' becoming available this yr- 2019 ........'Go Reality !!!' [ about bloody time! ....imo] My grown-up daughter 'pushed' for us to go vegan autumn last year, and we had a few months of eating solely 'vegan' food & it was 'ok' ....... i had longed to be a vegan for several yrs, but never felt i had the capacity to do so previously. Been vegetarian for many years, i first explored vegetarianism when my son was very young [approx. 3 yrs old] i introduced vegetarian hotdogs to our diet & we never ate the animal product ones again[as a family] I ate vegetarian for a few yrs. & it suited me, but later i found the 'urge' to binge eat on meat products that were in our family fridge. Over the last several yrs. i have found that if any other members of my family unit were living in our family home & were eating meat, then i too, at times needed to eat it [despite 'thoroughly' NOT wanting to] The 'body smell' is different on a vegan diet, as opposed to a vegetarian diet, as there seems to be no 'sweet,cheesy' smell from dairy products I had my first 'Vegan Sausage Roll' the other day. I did not like it at all.. did feel slightly sick after eating it. What I do like is Linda McCartney's Vegetarian Mozzarella Burgers. They are lovely.. but not vegan. I like eggs, cheese and milk too much. Hate dairy farming, love the fruits of their labour. Poor cows. We could still enjoy their produce more humanely and not on an industrial scale, if we all lived on farms and owned our own cows. Would never kill one for meat but am not sure if they lactate sufficiently when not with calf. I certainly wouldn't want metal clamped on my udders and milked all day, or have my calves taken away from me. There must be a more humane way of being a dairy farmer.
