What Vegans and Vegetarians Get Wrong

In life, we make our own choice.

I want to discuss veganism and vegetarianism. A lot of people in the world today are turning towards more plant-based meals. In my opinion, this is absolutely fine. We are all free to eat what we want. I have a problem with these individuals pushing their beliefs onto others. After all, I don’t go into vegans home while they are eating kale salad and scream at them. The fact is, I really love kale!

Culture

Cultures around the world eat a wide variety of food. For example, in Greece, they like souvlaki. This is made with beef, chicken, lamb, and vegetables. It is one of their traditional dishes. It goes way, way, back. Researchers found evidence that during the ancient Byzantine era, vendors sold a form of souvlaki in Constantinople.

I enjoy a lot of Indian food, including tandoori chicken and butter chicken. I also enjoy a lot of vegetable curries as well as a curry made with meat. It’s origins go back to when Portuguese spice traders brought chili seeds from Mexico into Asia. These species were then incorporated into Indian dishes. The Indian merchants made a powered form of the spices to sell to the British. In South Asia, curry is a part of regional and cultural identity. Meat, fruit, vegetables, and a wide variety of foods go into those dishes.

Cultures around the world have their own way of eating. We can expect people to change their entire culture at the drop of a hat.

This is not possible. The way we eat food can change over time. We develop new dishes and some of the food we ate in the past. We may not eat in the future. Today, people eat what they enjoy. It is their lives to lead how they see fit. It is not up to me or you to tell someone what they should be eating.

The hamburger is from Hamburg, Germany, and invented by Otto Kuase. It gained worldwide recognition in St. Louis at the 1904 World’s Fair.

In Western culture, we enjoy hamburgers, meatloaf, a Sunday chicken dinner, and so on. The Japanese enjoy sushi, which is made with vegetables, rice, and fish. Try to pry the steak and prawns out of my wife’s hands when I cook it for her on her birthday. Do you want to start a war?

Cultures eat a wide variety of foods. Some cultures eat more of a vegetable-based diet, while others include meat. Some people enjoy only meat and potatoes and don’t eat a wide variety of vegetables. I enjoy many different foods and never tell anyone else what to eat. People live in different ways. They might not necessarily want to live the way you do.

Our Own Body

I am responsible for whatever I put in my body. It is my choice whether or not I want to eat meat. In recent years, I’ve been adding a lot more vegetables, fruit, and other foods. Some nights my choice is all vegetarian. We can teach others about various diets. At the end of the day, it’s up to the individual to decide what they want to eat.

Some factory farms where we raise animals are not kept in the best conditions. You are far better off buying locally raised animals as they are better treated. I think that we can clean up our factory farms so that animals have better living conditions. Some of the stories that come out of these farms are quite disturbing.

Live Your Life

Screaming at the sky about someone that eats meat probably isn’t the best option. What’s the best option for you would be to live your own life. You can still support whatever cause you want. We are free to do that in this world. I support anyone that wants to improve the lives of animals. This is why many people who eat meat are choosing to get their food from a smaller local farm. Many people are concerned about how animals are treated in larger factory farms.

People eating meat are not responsible for how these animals are treated. It’s the large corporations making the food that shares the responsibility for how they treat the animals. We could enact better laws so that animals on these farms have better treatment. When someone refrains from eating meat, it is a choice.

Food and the Future

Our future generations may change their eating habits to a purely plant-based diet, and this is fine. It might be better for the planet. The way we eat has changed a lot from the past. It will change a lot in the future. We can expect everyone on this planet to adopt our own eating habits all at once. It is up to the individual to choose as to what food they want to eat. This is the one thing that vegans and vegetarians get wrong.

It is a personal choice. Let people make that choice.
