This thread is about western people choosing to take on a vegan lifestyle with little to no influence from their faith.
We see a lot of vegan propaganda these days. Groups at universities, leaflets getting handed around, signs vadalised with vegan propaganda, Facebook groups and so on. My stance on eating animals has always been if the animal was raised humanely and killed swiftly it's ok to eat it.
The other day I saw a video on Facebook of a pro-vegan speaker making scientific arguments for going vegan. Not getting into the details I'll say that his arguments were so flawed that only die-hard vegans would listen to him. I looked into the comments and saw there were other people who had already raised the same critisisms for his arguments.
There probably are more logical sounding arguments out there for going vegan, its not something I've looked into. But I think that going vegan isn't just about logical arguments; it's to do with emotions; one's feelings on killing a living being, the feeling of belonging in a group, the emotional effect of seeing injured animals in pro-vegan propaganda, the satisfaction of buying and taking a health supplement, etc..
EDIT: I was planning on waiting a few days before making any response but please keep the discussion civil.
