I am Vegan

Please forgive my grammar right off ,I know its terrible
and I mean you no disrespect ,this is just my opinion ,
not the Gospel of Christ ..

I share often about a city in Loma Linda that is part of only 3 major
"Blue Zones " ..lots of people not only living ,but still driving at over 100

I actually know some of these people ,and a lot of vegans ,and vegetarians .they are not the same .

My Granddaughter is devout in her Vegan life style
Its actually part of some religions practices ,and they do have evidence it works

Here is my problem with most Vegans ,,since the flood eating "clean meat " was permitted ,,and after thousands of years only over harvesting has caused a problem ,,and people need somewhere to live ,so cities and subdivisions take away the animals natural homes ,,most Vegans have no problem with a fine home where the animals home used to be ,,only that the animal is killed for food

Over population of a species is just as harmful to them as killing them for food ,less food for them ,disease is spread faster
and the largest cattle ranch in America is right in front of Disney World in Orlando Florida owned by the Mormon Church ,which is very health conscious Church ,,So it speaks to the size of the "cattle farm "not if eating meat is good or bad .its in a major city ,and most people don't even know its there .

Most of our food today is imported to the USA ,even corn is used for Ethanol to be mixed with gasoline ,not for human consumption ,,so no one wants fuel prices raising that effects EVERYTHING ,,so vast fields today are covered with corn ,,not cows
Walmart and such places no longer have to tell you a lot of the meat we eat today is from cloning ,,another issue in of itself

I could go on about how nuts can go on with statements like "your food had a face " ,"how can you eat that poor poor animal ,,do you know how it was raised ,tortured and killed " all pure propaganda hog wash ,
Cows in most places in the USA are treated very good ,until they go to auction ,the better its life ,the better the meat .

Animals are killed quickly now and not as inhuman as Vegans go on ,but yes many animals are raised in confined spaced ,,but they don't think like people
all most of them care about is eating ,in nature they spend a lot of time huddled up in small spaces all on their own ,,they seem to like all being packed in on top of one another (I am surrounded by farms so I see it every day ,,its not something I seen on TV )they are killed so fast and painlessly as to not make the animal tense up thereby making the meat tough ,,so the argument they suffer is just some humans way of making others think animals are like people and should be treated with the same rights ,love and respect as people ,,,so do we just stop raising them or add them to the dependents many today have a hard time feeding ,,not everyone is rich or can afford to eat so healthy ,eating organic (the way all farming used to be done ) is now very expensive ,I don't eat pork even though hog is way over populated and plentiful ,I could save a lot of money on food ,,but I don't eat swine ,,
but I understand why most poor families diets consist of a lot of it
Its cheap ,,even cheaper then chicken ,,,
I prefer Chicken and Fish ,,but both are getting expensive now days and my diet does mainly consist of a lot of frozen vegetables so they are as fresh as I can get them and keep them ,,I am disabled from my time in service that has caught up with me ,,so I am not able to raise a garden ,,but I have put in more then my share ,big enough they used to meet not only the needs of my family but Grandpa always left a 10th for the community ,,huge gardens

People and their animal rights issues have no problem with trying to domesticate a cat ,raise it indoors
remove its claws ,when a cat is a natural hunter ,it may lay around and let you pet it ,let you get it fat
but most people (with good reason stop them from reproducing )
but lets be honest ,they prefer being free ,to hunt ,play and fend for themselves ,,not become pets ,now people even try to domesticate pigs
the scavengers of the earth .like a Buzzard , Turkey vulture ,Owl ,Hawks
and so on ,they have a specific purpose ,,next we will tell them hunting mice and eating road kill is inhumane ...Animals do not think or even feel like humans

I fully agree that your life style is the healthy way
I also agree man can live without meat and get all the protein they need from plant based foods ,,I know a lot of people who are strong as an ox who have never eat meat ,not once in their entire lives and they are in their 90's and healthy as horses and wives who are in their 80's don't look 50 and they can still go for walks and dance ,,,my friend who is an SDA pastor rides a bike
(cycle as he calls it ) hundreds of miles a day ,he is in his 70's ..I admire him ,,I actually love him to death ,awesome man and example of Godly living .

My argument is how Vegans go about pushing their life style on others
I actually 100% agree with most of the doctrines of the 7th Day Adventist Church ,(not all of it ,they push EG White more then Christ and I do not agree with that ,but even EG White was a pioneer in "Healthy living" ,Keeping the Sabbath Holy ,obtaining from worldly living ,,and now they can prove ,the proof is in the pudding ,,a whole city of them like no where else in the USA Live longer happier lives ,no one is more healthy

But none of them are pushing their life style on anyone either
They live it ,,then hope you want what they have
they are not trying to shame anyone into their way of life
they just live it ,but they will share how they got to be so old and still of sound mind and body .

Someone telling me how cruel I am for eating meat ,and they don't have a garden ,and put the work into it (as my Grandparents did )
Trying to shame me telling me my steak once had a face
how I add to the cruelty of animals (I actually eat very little meat ,but I do enjoy a good steak and I could live on Chicken alone ,and my how little space they need and how fast they reproduce ,and lay eggs .
They blew it with me ,,I know good vegans ,,their choice is their own
they are not trying to shame me into accepting theirs
they know I know ,,clean animals went on the ark 7x7
God said ,these are fit for food
Unless I am practicing in willful sin
No one has a right to condemn me ,,no one
Its like salvation ,its a choice ..and its not the cows that are destroying the planet ,,its over population of humans ,,Vegans or otherwise

I am too.

I have seen footage of the factory farms.

I don't have to appeal to God

or even "God"
