What's the point in being vegan if you don't have food allergies?

there is SOOOO much you can't eat! seriously dairy? I could not live without dairy. if you're worried about harming the animals...well it doesn't. I went to a dairy farm (Fair Oaks Farm in IN) and they said that if the cows don't get milked then they can get sick, and they would be in pain. I understand being a vegetarian, but seriously people. why be a vegan?

I understand you are asking why make the choice to be Vegan. Unfortunately, most Vegans will say it's their choice to live healthy - and have no idea that they are medically wrong.

So if a Vegan can explain why it's healthier, cheaper, more efficient, and/or whatever - I want to hear it to.

No bent morals about harming animals. Do you Vegans believe that cows would roam free, happy, and safe if we humans didn't raise them?

The same reason why someone would choose a user name like yours...CHOICE. It must be hard to be so judgmental and intolerant of others huh? Is that what your God teaches you?

Educate yourself on dairy farms..it's clear you know nothing. Cows would dry up if not milked, not get sick. Sheesh.
Why be either? You can't LIVE without MEAT. Humans were made to eat meat. We have canines for a reason. Vegetarians and especially Vegans are denying themselves the BASIC nutrients they need to survive.

We are supposed to eat MEAT. Don't fall for this vegetarian nonsense.
Because of moral reasons.
some people just dont like the thought of consuming anything that comes from animals. it may have nothing to do with hurting them. maybe the thought of cows kept in a small confined space and being fed chemicals and such to increase their milk production is an idea that just does not appeal to some people.
Yes, there is sooooooooooo much that a vegan can't eat.

Yes, you *could* live without dairy. You simply choose not to. You give into temptation in exchange for *your* pleasure.

Yes, it does harm the animals. Dairy cows are abused and "downed" cows are left to suffer for days at a time before being euthanized.

Yes, unmilked cows can get sick. That's because this state of perpertual motherhood is thrust upon them, making them sick. If they weren't constantly forced into that state, they wouldn't "need" to be milked.

One visit to a dairy farm and you know better than people who have actually done objective research on them?

Why be a vegan? To stop the exploitation and abuse of ALL animals. By refusing any animal by-products, animals no longer are forced to suffer for our unnecessary consumption. To be healthier overall. Dairy products are linked to numerous diseases, not the least of which is high cholesterol and heart problems.

Seems that Jesus would have taught you compassion and how to not give into temptation. But, perhaps you worship a different Jesus - Jesus Hernandez from Guadalajara.
I do it for health reasons. My boyfriend has heart disease and we wanted to reverse it. We are using the Dean Ornish diet that prescribes basically a vegan diet. And once you stop thinking that you "can't " have things and look at all the choices that you can have it makes It fun and interesting to be a vegan. I love what we are eating and I don't find I'm missing eggs or dairy all that much.

It's a mindset sweetie, not a sentence we impose upon ourselves sweetie. No one can make us do this we chose too.
