protein myth

you all know the protein myth, right?

I already mentioned that e.g. the German strongman Patrick Baboumia is a vegan and experiences no such thing as a protein deficit. So why would we normal people, who don't lift heavyweights and such?! Beans for example are rich in protein and have far less fat and certainly hold less medications compared to meat and other animal products!! So sometimes it really feels like this:

not your mom - not your milk.

remember: 

'humane' meat

'humane' meat...
seriously...?
there is no such thing!
what could ever be humane about killing?

reason 5: superpowers

reason #5 for veganism: If you become a vegan you get superpowers!! At least according to the film Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, which I herby recommend to you! But take care: The vegan police is watching you, so don't just go around and pretend...!

''We no longer enslave animals for food purposes'' Star Trek

STAR TREK: The Next Generation 
Season 1 
'Lonely Among Us'

''We no longer enslave animals for food purposes'' William Riker / No. 1 (played  by Jonathan Frakes)

Gene Roddenberry, creator of Star Trek, was a vegetarian and I believe he was right in portraying the consumption of meat linked to aggression and violence.
No matter if you have ever watched an episode of Star Trek or not, you surely know who Vulcans are. According to the show (STAR TREK : Enterprise - which was filmed 2001-2005, but is a prequel to ST : The Original Series) Vulcans are naturally vegans, as they are civilized, diplomatic and care a great deal for peace, while the logical code they follow seeks to embrace all creatures / life forms. As the show proceeds (from STAR TREK: The Original Series to ST : The Next Generation) also humans overcome the oppression of animals and by this become more efficient, modern and civilized than they had been. 

So Gene Roddenberry's message through STAR TREK might be: If we want to overcome war, oppression and discrimination the path we should take involves to stop the enslavement of animals. It will free our minds, make our species healthier and happier through embracing the truth and stop being responsible for so much suffering. Then and only then are we able to become civilized in a way that we claim we already are...

And coming back to Vulcans: Veganism simply is the most logical choice.

please don't

don't just stand by!
don't close your eyes to the injustice right there before you.
there is too much at stake. too many lives depend on us.
take a moment to make up your mind. get in touch with your beliefs.
it's worth it. i promise.
