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]

You don't have to be vegan to lose weight. You don't have to not be vegan to gain weight. It's not just about what you eat, it's also how much you eat. A vegan can become overweight and stay a vegan, and vice versa. I'm of average weight for my height and age, and I eat generally unhealthy foods. That said, that could be a combined working of the frequency as well as a high metabolism. Furthermore, I'd like to point out that (based on a test administeted by professionals), I am a very intelligent person. I am not a vegan. I have never been a vegan. Could I be an outlier? Absolutely. That said, I think my point still stands.
