Are not just for vegans. Many people who are meat eaters want to make the most informed decision to minimize animal suffering. For example, when buying cosmetics.

Whether you agree with PETA's tactics and think they are heroes, or disagree with their methods and believe they are a terrorist organization - PETA holds a lot of valuable information if you know where to look.

Here is an article with a list of vegan apps that one can use to become a more informed and conscientious consumer.

I gained weight yesterday having a veggie day

Probably coz I just ate carbs and fat and 2 klondike bars

Back to burgers today
Water weight? Veggies can hydrate well. Do you weigh yourself constantly?

But, for once, it isn't about our self-centerdness and superficiality. It's about morality and ethics and our imperfectness and compassion.


Maybe

I ate like 4 spring rolls and 200g of peanuts

I love nuts and seeds (yeah, yeah) - my favorite on-the-go snacks.



I need you to clear something up for me:

Spring rolls are not fried and are loaded with great, fresh veggies (but can have meat)

Egg rolls are deep friend and can have meat (but can be veggie)

Correcto?

Spring rolls can be fried with meat

Those are called Shanghai rolls

I eat the deep fried veggie

But I read about this when I was looking at a recipe let me find it lol

So Shanghai rolls are also egg rolls because they are deep fried?



OMG! Haha! I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't know the difference between a spring roll and an egg roll!

Fuck PETA I'm all up for the better treatment of animals in general but c'mon that bitch ingrid or whatever the fuck her name is batshit nuts and wants to eliminate certain breeds lol... she thinks pets should not be a thing either.

Not only that but PETA kills a bunch of animals so they aren't even saints. Look at their "shelters" euthanasia reports in comparison to succesful adoptions. Could have left PETA out then people would be more apt to read into broccoli and carrot apps.
Shelters are depressing. There will ALWAYS be cases of euthanasia due to overpopulation. That is why breeding mills need to STOP and people need to ADOPT!

As I stated, regardless of what you think of them, they have useful information. Those apps are helpful. What I am asking is that people look for the truth and not get lost in the bull siht.

The apps are about buying ETHICALLY SOURCES goods that people need. It's a fantastic way to learn about a product on the go so that one doesn't buy a jar box of cereal and find out it has gelatin in it.

Look at the stastics, they are a slaughter house not legitimate shelter. Even the state in which it is located questioned whether or not it was even a shelter. Regardless of how many animals die in shelters PETA over does it. They don't think animals should be PETS at all adopting or shopping doesn't matter to PETA.

That's all I was simply saying. They are a joke of an organization spewing misinformation on their website and all over the world. Good for the vegans that can benefit the apps lol but still fuck PETA

Like I said, it's about critical thinking. There IS such a thing as an in-between. It's not pro-PETA or anti-PETA. There CAN be an in-between, regardless of what our political climate tries to indicate.

I will have to do my own research to see if PETA truly believes DOMESTIC animals shouldn't be pets. There is a dangerous trend of people keeping foxes as pets.

Believe it or not, I knew nothing about the wool industry until I read the research provided by PETA. At the end of the day, if PETA shelters are something to be enraged about, then so is the meat industry which too many of us support.

It's about small steps. Change won't happen overnight

THANK YOU for your opinion and what you shared. I will look into it.

I hate PETA cause they are annoying af. They make me NOT want to go vegan.

Surely you have more conviction than that? If Trump were a vegan, that wouldn't discourage me from doing what I know is right.

I still wouldn't turn vegan. I like meat and I don't think a vegan diet is healthy for humans in the long term.

I feel like people aren't reading my original post. This isn't about converting you or anyone else. It's about offering tools to help those who are interested (and may not have thought of it before) make better choices for both yourself and animals and make more ethical choices. I won't respond to your bit about veganism and health because, frankly, I find most people don't know Jack about nutrition.

Ikr. All those meat eating proponents.

You're trying to turn it into something that it's not. You do realize that I have family and friends who eat meat? You do realize I used to eat meat because it is what I know?

We change so much about ourselves as we go through life from our hair, to the colors of our nails, to our favorite TV show, to our jobs. It makes logical sense to me to evolve and change behaviorly when it comes to diet and material consumption.

Why are you insisting on stirring up negativity? Are you comfortable in your choices?

Also, I drive by a "Eat Mor Chikin" gigantic billboard every day to campus and work and back. So, yes, we are CONSTANTLY being advertised at to eat meat, wear wool/fur/leather, etc.

Wearing wool is bad? Why? Genuine question.
This has been the latest thing I've learned (after the fact that many sugar companies add a giant bone in their mill to crush the sugar more effectively.)

Corporate wool factories are paid by volume (not hourly), so this causes haste in corporate farms where the people who shear the sheep don't have proper technique, so sheep are most often injured during shearing as their skin is often ripped off along with the wool. Ears, tails, udders and teets...they are carelessly chopped off as "farmers" rush to take their wool. Most times, the sheep aren't cared for by a professional vet (because that costs money) so the sheep are left to either suffer from pain or to have their wounds haphazardly sticked with no anestetic or pain relief. Many sheep just die.

These aren't sheep raised by a small, friendly, local farm who hire vets to care for the animals they farmers depend on for livelihood. It's a giant, greedy corporation who doesn't even care about their employees who often kick and stomp and abuse the sheep during their shifts.

There is this terrible practice that many corporate wool farms (like those for UGGs, for example) where they practice what is called "mulesing." Sheep have wool around their bottoms and if they are not taken care of with a little shearing, flies can lay eggs and cause extreme pain and even death to a sheep who is then consumed by the flies. But because corporations don't want to "waste time" or "waste money" on veterinarians who know what they are doing, they flip the sheep upside down, clamp their legs up with a metal restrain and then, without any pain killers for the animals, the take a knife and slice the skin away from around their bottoms. The idea is that eventually the skin will scar and wool won't grow in the area around the bottom. Tails and excessive meat is often cut away along with the skin.

Male sheep are also castrated without painkillers in the most archaic and painful method - a rubber ring that is meant to cut off the blood supply.

Sheep are shipped in packed quarters and many suffocate and die.

The United States as well as Australia are very guilty of this practice. I hope that helps.

Thank you for your question, by the way!

Years ago while I was playing my PS2 'Tony Hawk' video game, as I was virtually skateboarding down the street, I came across a group of people in the game who were chanting: "Hey, Hey! Ho ho! The use of wool has GOT to go!" I threw a virtual apple at them and rolled around laughing. "Wool doesn't hurt sheep!" My know-it-all self exclaimed to the room. I didn't know jack.

That question has been at the back of mind since. It wasn't until recently that I decided to look into it. Asking questions is one of the most important thing I do.
