What are benefits of being Vegan?

Question

Hey guys! 🤗
I know being Vegan is really good and all, but can you tell me some points to convince me? 😄
To be honest i would go Vegan just for the health not the animals... I know that sounds bad but I only buy products from farms qbd companies that don't abuse animals. I think as long as their are treated well before death it's ok, like most New Zealand meat. 
Also becoming Vegan is extremely costly and takes a lot of effort but I would be willing to convert! 
Sorry if I sound really ignorant or insensitive! 😙

Answer

OK here's my arguement for you :)
We don't need to eat animal flesh to survive.
Therefore raising and killing all these animals to eat them is completely unnecessary.
but you might say 'i like the taste if meat'
Is a 5 minute taste sensation in your mouth worth more than life?
But you might say 'it's my personal choice to eat meat'
Do you think it's only personal to you if your choice has an innocent victim that never harmed you in any way'
But you might say 'they are humanely slaughtered, therefore I don't feel bad about it.'
Do you think there is a humane way to kill someone who feels pain and doesn't want to die?
If yes, what does that look like, and would you like that to be the way you/your family died?
But you might say 'But they don't know what's going on, they can't speak and aren't as intelligent as us.'
Do you think intelligence is a good measure for what life is worth? babies and lots of disabled people can't speak and may be less intelligent than you, does that mean thier life is worth less?

my OH and I went vegan a year and a bit ago and we actually realized its SO much cheaper. Meat and dairy cost a lottt of money! Check out High Carb Hannah on youtube. potatoes, carrots, beans, rice, other veggies, fruits (especially frozen for smoothies), bananas and legumes are sooo cheap, all super healthy for you and really leave you satiated. For benefits of a plant based diet watch Forks Over Knives and What The Health on Netflix. they are amazing documentaries. nutritionfacts.org also has a bunch of information with tons of studies and sources to back up everything

I went vegan to manage my cholesterol. I have hereditary high LDL (almost at 300  by age 23, despite being a healthy weight, exercising, and rarely eating red meat).
 I also have a horrible family history of heart disease and I wasn’t keen on taking medication for the rest of my life.
I tried dropping all animal products and within 30 days, my cholesterol has dropped over 100 points. The doctor was amazed.  Now I’m solidly in the healthy range and my numbers are less than half what they used to be. 
It’s empowering to know I’m not doomed to heart disease just because of genetics! Eating vegan has made me healthier than I ever was before. I feel great and truly enjoy the foods I’m eating.

Answer

Going vegan doesn’t have to be costly at all! In fact, stopping the purchasing of expensive dairy and meats in favor of things like rice and beans (two MAJOR staples) is a giant savings opportunity. Freezer fruits and veggies are fairly cheap as well, for things like smoothies and side dishes. 
However, it is a relatively large commitment when it comes to meal planning and prep, because you definitely need to track nutrients well. 
Try easing your way in by going veggie, then cutting out the dairy, then cutting out the rest of the animal products.

Hi! You should watch some documents on veganism. The ones I watched when I converted was: forks over knifes (the health side of it), cowspericy (the effect on earths side of it), and what the health (health related but it was my least favorite of them). There's also earthlings which is a little more intense on how they treat animals and such. Honestly once you watch those you'll have all the information you need in order to make your own educated decisions!
