Vegitarianism/Veganism
Veganism is the practice of eating no meat or animal products. This includes dairy, eggs, and all meats (fish, chicken, beef, pork, and any others). This may seem extreme to some people. Yet, if the proper vitamins and supplements are taken, to replace the protein and other essentials we get from meat, it can be an extremely healthy way of living.
You may be saying to yourself, why not drink milk? It doesn't hurt the cows, it isn't like we are killing them to get their milk. Which is exactly wrong. The machines often cause cuts and bleeding that can lead to infections in the cows udders and leave humans with contaminated milk. Also, Milk cows become pregnant the average of 3 times in 4 years. This is very hard on the cows, and their calves. The average life expectancy of a wild cow, is 20-25 years, a milk cow's average life expectancy is only 4-5 years. After 4 or 5 years of being constantly pregnant, it takes its toll on the cow. After they are milked, literally to death, they are sent to meat packing plants.
Milk
is also unhealthy for humans to drink. Humans are the only creature
on the earth that drinks milk past infancy. Milk is developed to suit the
needs of baby calves who will double their weight in 40 days, grow 4 stomachs
and weigh 1,000-1,200 pounds in 2 years. Cows milk contains 3 times more
protein and 50 % as much fat as human milk.
