THE PITCH

The reason to join this campaign is pretty obvious. To help stop the slaughter of animals. Going vegan means your NOT supporting the veal/milking industry. And by spreading support; your encouraging more people to give up everything to do with harming animals. DONT JUST JOIN THIS CAMPAIGN TO JOIN IT. ACTUALLY GO VEGAN! Please. It would help you and Americas animals in so many ways. I’ve been vegan for quite a while now, and I’ve never felt so good.

GO VEGAN! : )

The top Scientists have confirmed that eating meat, and the activities required for its production i.e. livestock farming, surpasses even fossil-fuel emissions in its detrimental effects on Earth’s environment/ozone. That ought to be a HUGE wake-up call in itself…

But before I even became aware of global warming issues, from a young age I was deeply bewildered, frightened & sickened by the idea of mass-killing & eating my beautiful animal friends – and still am. How can we humans claim to be part of ‘Evolution’ if we support such barbarous, destructive and unnatural animal-slaughter in any way? I have eschewed animal products since…

But being vegan myself is not enough: As long as I know there are still chickens crippled in battery cages awaiting death, pigs cooped up in the worst cruelty with nothing to look forward to in their lives but to be brutally slaughtered for human ‘consumption’ – the list of horrible facts goes on & on – I feel compelled to change people’s minds and, hopefully, actions…

Thankfully, many like-minded people – including those on terrific sites like The Point – share my view & the will to change the world. We are in good company, too, as attested by these famous quotes from illustrious vegans past & present:

bq.*"Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegan diet." – Albert Einstein

bq.“The time will come when men such as I will look upon the murder of animals as they now look upon the murder of men.” – Leonardo Da Vinci

bq.“Changing the way we eat – from a meat-based to a plant-based diet – is the single most effective thing we can do for our health, for animals, for the environment, for human rights, and for the creation of a nonviolent and compassionate world.” – Compassionate Cooks*

and i’ve had this campaign about three months. COME ON PEOPLE. pass this on, it’s really for a good cause. even if you are a meat eater, just reducing some of your intake of animal bi-products can help. Although if you do that, i wouldn’t recommend you join this campaign because i want you to actually take the challenge and go vegan :)

Remember..no meat of any kind! no animal muscle, no shellfish, no fish, red or white meat! NO HONEY! bees are a sentient being respect them! no dairy! no eggs! that means no chocolate from Hershey AT ALL Hershey is not Vegan friendly, however the word is getting out World Vegan day was last month in Boston and a lot of folks were there.
My girlfriend loves to eat, so going Vegan introduces a lot of international cuisine. Middle eastern and Indian, Moroccan, Ethiopian, Course then again, an entire Thanksgiving meal is Vegan if you don’t use butter, Except Gravy and Turkey, and I eat Vegan Gravy and Tofurkey, you can make anything Vegan. We just had some good cheese from England and some from Scotland. My girl likes ‘Follow your Heart’ mozzarella, a good cheese made in the U.S. Hell most people eat soy burgers at the Ball park anyway and never even know it!
Even if you don’t know if you can do it..Give it a try!!I was where you are a year ago, but when I saw how the food gets to my plate, That was enough for me, I quit cold turkey (pun).
Do some reading to educate yourself.
Try silk soymilk just to do it! you may never want to drink milk from a bovine boob again! After all WE don’t have hooves and horns.

go ahead you just might like it.
(p.s.) my teeth have never looked so good, I lost 20 lbs and eat like a Bull, and I’m healthier than I may have ever been. I mean I haven’t been sick all year.
Just something to think about….

    I’ve been transitioning to vegan since december and i feel great about it. your health has noticable improvement, its not hype. Plus i know that i’m doing something which will directly reduce the demand for animal products. Even less is better than not trying at all!
