This book is about veganism. For those of you who don't know, veganism is the practice of abstaining from the use of animal products, particularly in diet, as well as following an associated philosophy that rejects the commodity status of sentient animals. A follower of veganism is known as a vegan. (Yes, I got that from Wikipedia.) Though vegetarians do not consume animal flesh, they may consume milk, eggs or honey whereas vegans do not.
Whenever the topic of veganism appears on social media, all hell breaks loose. It's such a controversial topic and there are arguments for both sides, but something that really disgusts me is when people straight off the bat say, I hate vegans.
To me that's like saying, Oh my God, I hate all women because all they care about is makeup and how big their boobies are. You are generalising us as if we are all the same. News flash; we're not.
This book was inspired by a rant book I found on Wattpad. I was actually finding the book to be humorous- though quite rude at times- when I came across a chapter in which the author ranted about how much they hate vegans. Apparently all vegans shove their beliefs down everyone's throat and our food is either like -and I quote- a lumps of brown shit that smells like ass or a clump of ass-shit that smells like brown.
Yeah.
Oreos, Fruit Loops, Skittles, Frosted Flakes, Pringles Original Flavour, Doritos Spicy Sweet Chilli Flavour, Sour Patch Lollies- they're all vegan. Of course they're not healthy, but that's not the point. This is the type of food that most people enjoy yet he states that vegan food tastes like dog shit.
So if any of you are addicted to the following foods I stated above, I would go to the doctors cause I don't think it's healthy to be addicted to dog shit. Just sayin'.
Moving on.
As of the chapter wasn't bad enough, the comments seemed to be even worse.
Here is a lovely comment I found:
so fücking stupid! like to not drink milk and or milk products is just argh! They think that they are so great, but do they know what happens to a cow when it hasn't been milked? its gets in severe pain. milking a cow is actually very natural for a cow. If we don't do it that will make the cow in a worst postion. so vegans, go suck eggs...literally. Fůcken hell some people are stupid.
I had to take a few deep breaths to stop myself from going full on psycho when I read that comment.
Hmm, so the cow will be in severe pain if it is not milked...ever thought about the reason the cow produced milk in the first place...?
For those of you who are slow; she produces milk for her baby calf.
As I scrolled through the rest of the comments, I realised people were either ignorant, misinformed or just plain stupid. Thus, the idea of this book was created. I need you to read this book with an open mind kiddos, because I'm about to serve you a whole lotta truth.
In this book I will be covering controversial topics about veganism. I will not be shoving my beliefs down your throat. I will merely be stating facts that you can research yourself. Also, I am not hating on you if you eat animal products. I used to eat 6 pieces of chicken for one meal, I used to eat dairy ice cream for breakfast. I used to think vegans were extremists.
If you want to argue with me, I will not tell you to go away. Fight me.
