Title: What Vegans Don't talk about.. !!
Post by: tp4tissue on Sat, 10 February 2018, 15:37:47
Delicious Bacon is Addicting..  This is universally accepted..



Among Slow acting debilitating addictions..

~3% of smokers successfully quit; Only 1 in 33 people

There are 240 Million Americans age 20+ who are Overweight/Obese/Addicted to eating,  37.9% Obese.. ~32.1% Overweight


AT BEST, Only 7.2 Million out of 240 Million Americans may succeed


The rest WILL inevitably befallen Heart disease/Diabetes/Stroke/Cancer due primarily to Animal product consumption.




This doesn't mean one shouldn't Try,   

 -- However, Vegans often obscure the Possibility/ Practicality of societal outlook, as if EVERYONE can do it..  This is historically NOT THE CASE

I'd eat vegan/vegetarian if it wasn't so unbelievably expensive... Pack of 4 vegan sausages is like 80 dollars at the grocery store, its just plants right?

It's that silly little "Certified Vegan" sticker they slap on everything, what kind of hoops to these producers have to jump through to get that?

Eating healthy costs a **** ton.

There are more reasons for this phenomenon.

For example, Meat shouldn't cost as little as it does,  if it weren't for government subsidizing animal industries with public resources, such as grazing land, tax, etc,

Meat should cost around 3 to 4x as much..  This is the case in all other countries which doesn't subsidize meat industries, Meat costs more than vegetables.

Whereas in America, Most vegetables cost as much as or even MORE than meat..


The reason, they're able to do this Economically, is because that investment comes back, when people get the heart disease and diabetes,  Where they can sell Lipitor pills which costs Next to Nothing to produce at $10 a pill.



So, it's not that Plants cost more, it's because it's NOT subsidized by (Our Way of Life)..


Essentially,  Animal foods are PRE_PAID for by YOUR TAX DOLLARS.. and YOUR current / impending medical problems..
