I am a vegan because I love animals and I have not had an health problems, in fact I am healthier now than I have ever been!. Not only can you save LOTS and LOTS of animals every year, but you can save even more by not wear animal by products such as leather (I wear faux leather and it looks identical) and you can also stop using products that are tested on animals and also by no longer supporting charities that test on animals!. Go to the PETA website and they will send you lots of information for free, they helped me out a lot when I first got started!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Give it a serious try!. If you don't like it, you can give it up!.
I was a veggie for 7 yrs!. but gave it up due to money!. I didn't have a say in what foods were purchased at that time!.
My blood pressure and cholesterol levels were raised during the time I ate meat (I didn't eat bacon, skin, greasy stuff either)!.
If you do enough research on nutrition, you'll probably be inspired to go veggie!. I've recently gone vegan and am so glad I have! E-mail me with any questions you have about meal plans and stuff!.
Make sure you get omega 3s!. Nutrition stores sell powdered vitamins that you can add to your drinks!. They're completely vegan and gluten-free!. They have an entire day's worth of calcium (and most vitamins and minerals) in one tablespoon!. Go easy on the soy and processed stuff! Good luck!Www@FoodAQ@Com

You can if you want to, whatever your motives are!. But you need to educate yourself on what nutrition your body needs, and how to get that from non-animal sources!. Otherwise, you'll just make yourself sick, or at least very weak!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I'm wondering where they got that "100 animals a year" number!. If we were talking beef cattle, it would be less than one a year, no matter how much beef a person ate!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You should do it, its not that hard unless you go vegan!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
go for it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
It is a healthy choice!. I would suggest really doing study on it to make sure that you are getting everything that you need nutrition wise in your diet!. Better yet - if you can - go to a dietitian/nutritionist and have them help you to learn more about it and help you set up a diet that meets your personal needs with the foods that you like!.
Best thing to do - in my opinion of course - to help animals - is to help in your own area!. Donate your time - and money if you have it - to the programs that are addressing problems in your area!. Be it animal shelters - or giving time and home to help house animals while they are waiting for homes - all are things that are really needed!. So is donation of food to feed the animals!.
In my area, there are large animal shelters - for the farm animals that have been abused - or the exotic animals that someone got and didn't take care of!. They need help as well - if such is in your area!.
Ask a local vet - they might know of places if you don't know of such places yourself!.
Hope that helps!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
