I really had to think about this thread because I understand that Off topic is filled with extremely intolerant people especially republicans.
...but putting that aside, I'm going to post my opinion on veganism.
First of all, veganism signifies not consuming any animal and/or animal byproduct. The reason why veganism shouldn't be an option, and the whole American populous should become vegan is for the sole purpose of being healthy, more aware of the food consumed, and stop animal deaths. Yes, meat should be banned from the states.
Before you go bashing me, remember that there is a positive correlation with veganism and intelligence. Not only will the U.S. be more intelligent, but animal farms would be banned, no more animal deaths, the average American would lose more weight, and we can come up with state of the art technology to increase crop yield organically and sustainably. This would be a huge step for human progress, and this would make the U.S. more intelligent.
[spoiler]But that's only IF you repubtards allow the government to ban meats, so we can progress as a whole.[/spoiler]

I always thought it had a direct correlation with douchiness and smugness..... [spoiler]an all vegan country would create too much smug, destroying the ecosystem they claim to be protecting[/spoiler] [spoiler]I'm joking[/spoiler]

And all those farmers who just lost their jobs...?

I am an omnivore, I eat meat, vegetables, and fruit. Get over it.

You don't have to be a Republican to not want the government telling you one more way that you're going to live your life. Seriously? Control via ban a wide group of foods? So, food choices should be up to someone else? Anything else you need taken care of for your ideal society? Maybe guns, cars, exercise time, violence in the media? Yes, that's a straw man, but your idea is that ridiculous.

I guess you can say being a vegan[spoiler]is a huge missed steak[/spoiler]

Not only did you promote veganism, but you bashed republicans in the same post, so can we please be friends? Also, I don't think banning is needed, if it ever came to the point of a law like that being able to pass, the majority of people would already be vegan. Meat/dairy farms would fail and anyone who did still sell meat would be forced to raise their prices substantially meaning it'd be cheaper to just not eat it, which makes less eat it. And if someone wants to pay top dollar to eat like a barbarian while the majority of society moves past this era, so be it, they're totally allowed to give them selves cancer and clog their arteries.

The intolerance in this thread is disgusting.

Oh my goodness, we kill chickens to eat them but they populate like crazy and they're no where near extinct. I eat meat every day buddy and my doctor said I'm in fantastic health. If anyone is unhealthy here, it's you because you're probably severely underweight. There isn't a single thing wrong with eating meat, it's that people consume too many calories and do not exercise and that's why people are overweight.

This just made playing "Find the Vegan" too easy. 10% of vegans are vegans for health reasons. The rest shouldn't even be called human beings.
-
Also I will use the same argument I use for keeping my guns.... -blam!- off! I like meat!
-
Now I want steak. Or bacon. Or both.

Ma'iq's mouth waters at all the fish you could catch with that bait.

We're omnivores for a reason buddy.

So children can grow on lettuce. Meat is important

We are omnivores for a reason...

Edited by Stranger Danger: 6/23/2015 1:51:55 AMHahaha. No more animal deaths? Yes. Animals will become immortal once they realize we don't want to eat them. You can be a vegan if you want. But don't tell me what I should eat.

I'll eat as much King Salmon as I want, thank you.

Vagetarianism is fantastic, veganism is just silly and unhealthy. Unless there's a medical reason that requires you be vegan or you just get beyond grossed out by consuming ANYTHING that comes from an animal you should NOT be vegan. You'd have to eat about seven pounds worth of food a day to get all of the nutrition you need.
-
If meat is ever banned in the states, I will personally slaughter, cook, and consume a cow in your front yard. I might even skip cooking, and eat that -blam!-er raw like a lion mauling a gazelle. Mufasa will be more proud of me than he ever was of Simba. [spoiler]Do you realize how many jobs would be lost because of your stupid idea?[/spoiler] I was going to have a light dinner tonight, but now I'm taking the family to Outback Steakhouse. Your life is a dumpster fire and you should feel bad.

Right really right! [spoiler]I RESPECT YOU FOR THIS[/spoiler]
