scream [a collection of rants by yours truly]

☽ VEGETARIANISM/VEGANISM

second rant for the day yay!

(warning: if you feel like this might upset you/make you mad, please don't read it. these are just facts, and if you don't want to read them, you don't have to.)

before i get started i want to say that yes i am a vegan, and before that i was a vegetarian. one of my friends was also a vegetarian before she found veganism and she shared it with me and i will never go back. but that's not really what this rant is about.

this rant will be different from my other ones. for this rant, i will be choosing ignorant ass comments that i get from people on veganism and answering them on here.

(this isn't meant to offend people. i won't judge you if you eat meat, i'll just judge you if you ask me these questions.)

1. so, like, where do you get your protein?
bitch if i hear this question one more time. vegetables have protein in them too, just so you know. in fact, a lot of veggies, such as spinach, kale, broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms (i mean the list could go on really), actually have more protein in them than meat products do. also, ever heard of beans, tofu, and the tons of other things vegans/vegetarians eat to get their protein?

2. so all you eat is vegetables?
dear god educate yourself child! vegans can eat pretty much everything a meat eater eats because there are so much vegan options out now that taste, look, and smell exactly like the real thing. we can also eat chips (pringles are vegan btw), oreos (wait, what? another thing you eat that's vegan?), fries, fruits, and a shit ton of other things also.

3. well hitler was vegetarian too, y'know.
lmao he also breathed are you gonna stop breathing now? and btw, he was a failed vegetarian. he continued saying he was after he stopped being a vegetarian to make himself look more peaceful and loving and there is proof that he ate meat so you can go shove a sock down your throat.

4. if you love animals so much, why do you eat their food?
lMAO do you really honestly think that veggies, fruits, and grain were only meant for animals? YOU'RE the one eating the animals food, not me. in fact, there is soooo much grain and vegetables and fruits in the world that it could literally end world hunger, but we're feeding it to animals instead in order to fatten them up just so we can eat them.

5. vegetables can also feel pain. they're alive too, y'know.
do vegetables have brains? do they have hearts? what about lungs? do they have all the other organs and body parts that animals and humans have? no. they don't. let me put it this way: if i were to smack you with a cucumber, who do you think will feel more pain? you, or the cucumber?

6. well if we didn't kill them, they would overpopulate.
no, if we didn't breed animals to kill them, they would not overpopulate. this is something that is very misunderstood. we see the massive amounts of pigs in factory farms, but think about this; if you were to go outside, how easy would it be to find that amount of pigs just running around in your front yard. you wouldn't. that's because the cows, chickens, pigs, and other animals get forcibly injected with semen (meaning they are raped) to produce more animals to have for food. this happens every single day, more than once a day. and think about the animals that we don't eat. how many of them do we see just running around everywhere?

and that's all. i might do a part two of this if you guys want. if you have any questions about what i eat or why i eat what i do, ask in the comments and i will answer asap.
