WHY DO VEGANS EAT MEAT ALTERNATIVES

"Why do vegans always eat foods made to taste like meat" "if you don't like meat why do you eat fake meat?!" questions vegans hear all the time. Well let me explain that one, as humans we were raised to eat meat, which through out history if you look you'll find not everyone through time was a meat eater, beside the point, most people were raised eating meat, so we've conditioned to like the tastes and textures of meat. Now most vegans didn't grow up vegan, we grew up eating meat, dairy, eggs, honey, etc. But we watched documentaries such as dominion and did our research, not just google but actually deep diving on the internet looking into things, and we learned that being vegan is truly the best choice, for our bodies, for the animals, for the planet, but mostly people went vegan for the animals, when we learned the way animals are treated from birth to your plate, the chemicals, preservatives, meat glue, so many things we shouldn't be even touching, let alone consuming, we made the big decision to go vegan, and stop paying for that treatment of animals and moved to eat plants instead. Which is a great choice, but when we started advocating for animals, doing activism, and educating people on veganism, yes some activists are more aggressive than others, more in your face and argumentative about it, which I can see how that put a bad taste in your mouth, but the good news is there are tons of us who are willing to educate you, and help you on your journey. We know animals feel pain, they, like us, have a brain, a central nervous system, are sentient, feel fear, pain, happiness, sadness, anger, every emotion or feeling we get, they get. Which if you think about it, is both cool and sad, because when they feel hurt you can see it on them but they can't tell you about it, which if you've get a dog or a cat, and have ever seen them in pain you know it's so hard because you want to help them, you want to know where it hurts, what way it's hurting, and all the details so you can help them to feel better and explain to them that it's all going to be okay. Its the same thing with chickens, cows, pigs, horses, foxes, every animal that exists on this planet, to continue eating meat in my mind just seems heartless, especially if you've ever seen an animal suffering and sick in any way. We do this because we want animals to live, not to "force veganism down your throat" we want these animals to experience life, love, joy happiness, to be able to run and play and be spoiled and pampered and cuddled and just be happy, how can you help them to have that? Go vegan, watch dominion, watch black fish, watch what the health, watch dairy is scary, do the deep diving on the internet, reach out to other vegans and ask them what their journey looks like for them, where they started and where they are now, you can totally do this. Lets give these animals a life, Go vegan today! start a new journey, choose the vegan options to things you would normally get, instead hamburger patties made of ground beef, get beyond meat, gardein, impossible, versions of them, and soooo many other options You like yogurt? cool me too! try the so delicious coconut yogurt, or silk almond yogurt. like chips and french onion dip? same regular wavy potato chips, and kite hill or violife french onion dip are great!
