SIGN OUR PETITION TO BAN... DILDOS?
Should vegan meat alternatives be banned because they are 'fake'. We don't think so. Because Fake is Great - it looks the same, fills a hole and no one has to get hurt in the process.
That's why vegan products imitate meat products. They have all the flavour and satisfaction of your favourite dishes, but with none of ethical baggage.
Plus, it’s a great way to bridge the gap for those transitioning to or interested in plant-based eating - because who says you can’t enjoy a juicy sausage while taking out the animal cruelty one bite at a time?
From juicy burgers and sizzling bacon to tantalising sausages and creamy cheese, the vegan-alternatives range is now seductively vast and easier to get your hands on than ever. So why not make the swap and enjoy some guilt-free pleasure?

    Vegan are people who are ignorant. They discriminate plants against animals because they are too ignorant to understand that plants suffer too when they are eaten alive. Plants are eukaryotes just like us and they do suffer when attacked and eaten even though they do not scream or run away. They can't!!! Imbecile ignorants! Now DO YOUR HOMEWORK MEDIOCRE HUMANS too lazy and primitive to learn! Move it!

    Ok but….almond milk is mostly synthetic fake stuff. Only 3 almonds go into a half gallon of milk. And it’s toxic to the body. I have a cow of my own. She is outside on pasture in the sunshine every day. I do not separate her from her calf. People come to me to buy raw milk because their children are allergic to pasteurized milk because the body does not recognize pasteurized milk as food. It is a foreign substance and an allergen. Why doesn’t this man seek out a local farmer that treats his cows humanely? I’ll tell you why. The government is getting rid of people. PEOPLE. They want you OFF THE LAND and divorced from nature and reality. ALSO. If you are buying your precious (actually worthless) almond milk from the store, you are pouring money into the exact same government owned corporations that want you to drink either sick cows milk or toxic almond milk. It does not matter to them. If you one day have no ability to look the animal in the eyes who is feeding you, not see where you vegetables are grown, you are a captured slave who’s energy is being harvested in exactly the same way as the factory farm animals AND almond trees!!!!!!!

    Bingo!!! Juliet hit the nail well and truly on the head. It's to do with apathy, not that people want to be deliberately cruel (in the main) - it's the will of the market.. those business that adapt and change will win. Those that do not change will die. The market always decides whats good and bad. Great vid!

    I have big doubts about lab grown meat (or cultured or whatever). Because if we still use animals, which is the case, then we don't necessarily know the consequences, if this is world wide spread. We still will have some farming system in a relatively large scale. So, can we predict with certainty what will happen to animals? And what about old animals - if it turns around, that their cells are not suitable to create good meat? Then it would be financially inefficient to keep them alive... so would they be slaughtered or what? I am against lab grown meat. It could potentially cause problems for the Animals and we don't need it!

    The study did not even properly divide food groups. Cheesecake, all frozen pizza and even gravy was put in the ultra processed plant-based foods group. Plus, meat alternatives were less than 0.5% of this group so there is no way to say anything specific about these foods as the study was not designed to do so, and their results indicated that unprocessed plant foods was the healthiest food group. Many media are desperate for clicks and do not seem to care if they spread dis/misinformation anymore.

    The modern vegan diet is not at all healthy and nutritious and vegans need to return to the practice of being knowledgeable of nutrition and to provide themselves with what’s needed, rather than relying on companies fortifying products and supplying nutritionally poor lines, commercial faux meat is full of sterile and weird ingredients

    A whole-foods organic, plant-based diet is absolutely the best diet for human health. And eating some vegan processed foods is much better all around the and animal-based foods with processed are not. Abstaining from eating ALL ANIMAL PROUDCTS is the best thing you can do for the animals - even the wild animals, the planet, and your own health. Animal products are the most acidic and inflammatory foods of all and are loaded with artery-clogging fats and cholesterol that which can lead to heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, kidney disease, Parkinson's disease, cancer, dementia, etc.

    I stopped the video to disagree a little bit with the rebuttal of the almond-bees argument. 1. First, my own problem with California almonds. He said we don't need to buy almonds from California. Well I agree for the almond milk, but I don't care about the milk. I want to eat almonds (relatively cheap nuts). And the Cheapest place I found them, the almonds were from California - I was Fucking Shocked. In other places the almonds are NOT affordable for me and... And they are most probably also from california. So, not a very good situation for me personally. 2. The alfalfa argument is not the best too. If somebody says: "The milk I buy is by cows fed with wheat or soy or grass (NOT alfalfa)". Then what, should I drink the same milk, because I hurt LESS Bees? It's not about what meat-eaters do wrong. It's about what Vegans do wrong in this case - Should we eat almonds or not! 3. The most Important. Let's change the system and to use Wild Bess/Pollinators. I may be wrong, but this sounds Stupid. The reason Vegans are blamed about bees is, because bees are dying from Pesticides! There can be other causes like mites - it doesn't matter. California also kills them with Pesticides. So, Why should I care if I kill Honey Bees or Wild Bees with the Pesticides- NO Difference at all?!? 4. Just a Bonus. I think bees can be killed for Any human plant food, that needs Pollination. And Everywhere in the World. Again because of Pesticides. There in no Country that can Guarantee they don't use pesticides that kill Bees. Only if you know the farm yourself. So, I can't know how many bees dye in Italy or Spain for the production of Almonds! (Ok, still better Not to buy Almonds from California.... If you have the Chance!) We just need to change the Pesticides or whatever - we need a real Vegan Solution!
