One cool thing about eating plants is that you become a part of the plants reproductive process. You throw the seed in the ground and a new tree grows there. Vegan diet increases my sense of connection with and unification in the earth and the cosmos. Industrial food production tends to alienate the fact that we're really the surrogates and servants of the vegetable kingdom, but ideally your money goes towards fulfilling these same processes when you buy fruits and vegies at the shop. 

A lot of meat eaters reason like 'it's natural to eat meat all the animals do it.,' and I think there's some truth in this. In the animal kingdom violence is the only law, and even herbivore animals act with complete disregard for the suffering of their fellow beings. iIf this is true, veganism is a necessary condition for transcendence of our animal nature. Veganism, for the being (the self, the community, and the world-soul) is progress away from pleasure which is predicated on suffering. 

The avoidance of milk also might indicate a rejection of the cult of mothers. I think this is why the hindus drink heaps of milk and venerate the cow. 


There are a lot of good arguments for veganism but for me the spiritual ones are the most compelling.

Unless you go outside and literally shit in the yard, you are not part of a plants reproductive cycle. Stop kidding yourself.

-tofu
-oats

-peas 
-pasta
-vegan protein powders are usually cheaper than the whey ones where im at
getting plenty of protein is easy but your options for vegan fats are pretty limited. still it's not hard to get 50 + grams of fat if you have, say, a bowl of oats, some vegies sauteed in cooking oil, and a decent helping of nuts. Hummus and bread is also a great fat source. chuck in an avocado every now and again if theyre cheap, or some coconut yogurt if ya wanna treat yourself.
veganism is not that expensive if you focus on whole foods.

supply and demand. the contribution is indirect but your money still goes towards furthering the same processes of germination and generation


im vegan but i feel like there might be something to this. I have an uncomplicated love for animals that its hard to replicate in people, because u have to interact with them in a cerebral way. cultivating sympathy and love for all living beings is a struggle.

Not like much of anything people buy at supermarkets is made in a natural way anyways, vegan or not

Yeah that's why I get my beef sent to me from one of the few grass fed farms in my country and I get my cheeses, milk, eggs and chickens from my aunt living two streets away from me
