The Link Between Meat and Cancer : After reading this article I believe that it is very well written and contains a plethora of accurate information; however, it still does not change my beliefs in veganism. To begin, the explanation on how increased heme, the iron containing compound that gives meat its red color, increases the risk of cancer is very true.

The [Just say, "fuck animals"](https://www.reddit.com/r/vegan/comments/5umewu/just_say_fuck_animals/) thread compeled me to reflect a bit and advance this post inquiry in an attempt to dissect the logical foundations of the vegan principle. I can see how vegans feel that there's a lot of hypocrisy regarding beliefs and attitudes that relate to animal well-being. But it seems unfair and shortsighted to assume that everyone who eats meat basically doesn't care about animals, imo. I'm omni, and I…

When the average person thinks of a vegan, they think of a health-conscious, active, and hearty person. But what if a vegan was just as unhealthy as an omnivore who dines on McDonald’s over four times a week? In The Omnivore’s Dilemma, author Michael Pollan explains the importance of fulfilling all nutritional needs. The human population generally thinks of vegans as ultra-aware of their food, but what if the vegan diet causes the same problems it was designed to prevent? People should not…

Veganism: The Diet Deathtrap Veganism is becoming the popular way to diet, but is it healthy to do so? The Vegetarian Times Editors have said that about 7.3 million people in the United States have gone vegetarian, and one of those million have converted into vegans.

Based off the title, you probably believe this is going to be an annoying rant, trying to persuade you to become a vegan. While I do believe that everyone should take an interest in a whole-foods, plant-based diet, that is not the purpose of my writing. Right now, my objective is to share my experience with the vegan lifestyle. It all started three years ago; I was fed up.
