Question:

Do you think there should be laws forceing other people to be vegan?


Answers: lol so, i have a question for you buddy....Do you actually wonder about these retarded questions you are asking...or are you just making crazy stuff up to see what people say? No, I like my freedom thank you. By the way Ive been a vegetarian all but 6 years of my life. Maybe in a severe communist country, but NEVER in the land of the free, USA!!! No, that's a bit too intrusive.

Considering they can't enforce all the laws they currently have...uh...you can't make much of a case for dietary laws. No. By the way, no one can live on a purely vegan diet. No, but I'm sure if you convinced the GOP they'd be happy to make a law that applies to everyone but them, since they know better than I do how to run my life. No, people have a right to their own choice on diet. And vegan probably isn't healthy, not enough balance you know? It should be free choice. not forced. # Sugar PIe there no such thing as communist country no country has ever been why don't learn knowledge on something before post it as truth. Not going do a response to this silly question. no

People should eat, like, what they like, like. NO.That is ridiculous.That can never be a law,what are we slaves? No, that's retarded. NO.

Why? Everyone should have the right to choose what they wish to eat. If a law is implemented forcing people to become vegan, then where will it stop?

Should there be a law forcing people to eat meat? No. But it's good to be a vegan, though. No, I don't think a law like that could be reinforced. It is completely unrealistic. no, there should not be laws forcing people to be vegan. although i would love if more people were vegan, i would want them to be one because they want to... not because they're foced by some law. No, I do not think people should be forced to become vegan, but I do believe that there should be laws to make sure the meat companies use humane ways to produce the meat before and after the animal is slaughtered. Everyone should have freedom to some excent, but there does need to be rules and regulations to keep every person-and animal healthy and happy. As a wise person once said, "there is no legislating morality." It's the reason the drug laws in this country don't work, why prostitution still exists, why prohibition failed, and why it would be pointless to make a law telling people to not consume animal products. There would only be a black market created if animal products were outlawed. You would criminalize ordinary citizens, jails would be even more overrun than they already are, and public outcry would be deafening until the law was overturned.

In a perfect world, we'd all be vegan, and live in harmony with animals and not exploit them for every manner of thing. But take heart. Societal trends are leaning away from animal consumption, as more people are educated about the down sides of animal based diets and products. However, it takes time to undo thousands of years of tradition, and a law won't change things overnight. Your f'ing stupid.
What is wrong with you? I believe in democracy and I don't think anyone should be "forced" to become a vegetarian against his or her will. However, I do hope that most of the population will eventually decide that it is wrong to force animals to suffer and die simply for the pleasure of tasting meat. When this day comes, I hope that the practice of eating meat will be outlawed through the democratic process. I think there should be laws put in place for the next 50-75 years to ease society into the vegan lifestyle but they would never work because society has become corrupted into believing they should define themselves by what they eat. To most people meat is a strong food eaten by manly men with heads empty from testosterone over-loads while the women avoid confrontation by agreeing with the manly men that meat is a staple food. While the fact remains that we do not need meat to live people want it out of greed and feel that if it is taken away they will be emasculated. People would be bound to retaliate. hmm, I've seen enough existing laws that have been broken that even if there were laws pertaining to food, what is available in society to eat would have to reflect those laws to ensure that people either (1) follow the food laws or (2) live in the wild or (3) starve to death. If there were laws forcing others to be vegan, well, unless every single food item and otherwise was vegan, this is not going to happen because those that want meat and other non-vegan stuff are still able to get those things.

Interesting idea, nonetheless. I'm sure that if the world went vegan, global warming effects would be substantially smaller than they are now (though driving would still contribute to a large extent until most people switch to hybrids). Also, no animal would be exploited for their usage (obviously), and probably many of the hungry people in the world will be able to get enough to eat as well. People may also have less heart-related and obesity issues. So certainly there are positives if everyone went vegan. At the same time, I believe that people are allowed to eat what they wish (not that I don't feel bad for the animals, because I do); after all its a free society. Some cultures are largely intertwined with food, including meat and/or dairy. So I guess for some, going vegan may indicate giving up a certain part of their culture. Also, its worth noting that not every place is particularly vegan-friendly (or even vegetarian friendly), though things are improving in this regard.

In short, I think its a refreshing idea to think of the world going vegan, but at the same time I respect other people's food choices (even if I don't agree with it; if they don't criticize me for what I eat, why should I criticize them)? I think there are far more pressing matters in terms of setting laws for the country, such as increasing the minimal age to go into a war (who deserves to die in a war, esp. at 18?), increasing education rights, handling hunger and homelessness concerns, etc.
