Welcome to the BeVegan site! "Going Vegan is the best thing most people can do for the environment, their health, and of course, the animals." ? Howard Lymn ? Veganism is the way to avoid cruelities of animal agriculture. Being vegan is not about deriving oneself of desirable foods and other products. Each of us can use our everyday choices to work for a better world ? in harmony and love for all living creatures. Some people misinterpret empathy for animals as a weakness. Indeed, standing up against cruelty is actually a test of strength ? especially when most people merely follow the crowd. Animals are viewed as objects and tools to provide us with food, entertainment, or clothing, and inevitably leads to abuse and suffering, Vegan believes that, if we saw animals as fellow sentient beings who value their lives in many ways as we do, we should not support the suffering and shame of the slaughterhouse and factory farm operations. In fact, vegan diets which containonly foods from plants, is probably the healthiest diets of all. According to the American Dietetic Association,vegetarian diets are associated with reduced risk for a number of chronic diseases that plague Americans, including obesity, colorectal cancer, lung cancer, and kidney disease (ADA Postion on Vegetarian Diets, Journal of ADA, v97 No.11, 1997). According to Worldwatch Institute, animal argriculture is out of alignment with the Earth's ecosystems. As it is overgrown and resource intensive, it leads to immediate impacts such as nitrogen contamination and retreating grasses, and further to the loss of species and climate change in a long term. This site is created for all of u, whether a vegan or not, of any age and any race, who are aware of environmental issues and care for animals. Here let's explore the vegan world, and wish you enjoy your stay! |
