When I talk about “hunting” in this post, I specifically mean hunting for sport, specifically trophy hunting, as opposed to hunting for food. Trophy hunting is basically where people kill animals for “sport,” aka for the fun of it, not survival. Some people hunt for food and although I also oppose that as a vegan, Read More
Vegans are generally bad mouthed pretty hard among the muscle building and weight training fans. If you go up to them and say you’re a world class champion athlete and you don’t eat meat, they’ll think you’re either crazy or you’re lying. People typically assume that it’s difficult to impossible to build muscle on a Read More
A pet peeve of mine is when people use a skinny and weak vegan wimp as the poster boy for veganism. There are both strong and weak vegans, just as there are strong and weak meat eaters. Same goes for health, some vegans and meat eaters are healthy, some are not. But if you look Read More
You know what I’m talking about… you see a facebook post showing animal abuse, everyone comments on it and the vast majority of people feel anger towards the animal abuser.

I got into veganism in 2012 because I thought it was a good diet to help me lose weight, but the main reason I stayed vegan all these years because I didn’t want to be part of this unnecessary suffering for the animals. So you can imagine how it makes my blood boil when hearing Read More
The purpose of a vegan diet and lifestyle for me means doing everything I can to reduce harm and suffering to sentient animals. It’s a very unconventional lifestyle and not many people do it, so being vegan naturally means being on the butt end of a lot of jokes and stupid questions. Vegans don’t eat Read More
The idea that vegan foods help you lose weight probably comes from the long perpetuated image of vegan foods as only low calorie foods like fruit, vegetables, salads.. that kind of stuff. People turn to a vegan diet for many different reasons, and wanting to lose weight is one of them. It was around mid Read More
I was at a vegan restaurant a few months ago and saw a poster on a wall showing 2 pictures of a man that is lean and fit with the words vegan under it, and another picture of the man looking overweight or obese showing a bunch of animal products like meat and dairy under Read More
