My inbox this month has informed me that November is Vegan Awareness Month! I am a vegan who has adopted a diabetic greyhound who eats vegan food ( Natural Balance ), and who is adopting a boy from Russia. As a vegan, part of what I believe is that bringing animals onto this planet to use them as food or as pets isn't ethical.

First, Chris directed me to ePub Bud , which appears to be a timely and fantastic idea given my recent plea for more books for children about veganism. which is a documentary co-produced by two young girls from NYC, one of whom was raised as a vegetarian. I also saw " What's On Your Plate?

Part of me wants to see those posts out of curiosity, and the other part writes him off instantly and withdraws any previous credit given because he so obviously does not understand what animal rights is and doesn't know that many vegans and animal rights activists see their cause as one of a handful that are all connected.

This sort of question can also be raised without benefit of hypothetical examples from future genetic engineering. Would the blood drinker be sinning against the principles of lactovo moral vegetarianism or just the principles of vegan moral vegetarianism? Tags: Moral Vegetarianism. Would the blood be analogous to milk or eggs?

First, I will raise some questions that usually are not asked, let alone answered, by moral vegetarians. Two varieties of moral vegetarianism can be distinguished: lactovo moral vegetarianism and vegan moral vegetarianism. Tags: Moral Vegetarianism. My examination will be divided into two parts. Each argument has an audience.

For me, atheism and veganism go hand-in-hand. We, atheists and vegans, ask: What do we know to be true, and what are we going to do about it? And because of that, we know that the just thing to do is to act accordingly: to be vegans. Am I the only one who sees it this way?

The book, which I have not read, that saved Derrick Jensen 's life is called The Vegetarian Myth: Food, Justice, and Sustainability by Lierre Keith, who was a vegan for 20 years, suffered serious medical problems, and started feeling better when she recommenced eating animals. Throughout the book, Keith mocks vegetarians and vegans.

Here's the problem: A friend doesn't respect my veganism. I'm fairly sure that if I raise this topic it won't go over well, and outside of this issue there are no problems, but it's a big one for me. Though I don't ever equate veganism with religion, let's just say I were a practicing Orthodox Jew (is practicing Orthodox redundant?).

While spending hours in the car I've been thinking about various issues related to sentient nonhumans, animal rights and veganism. Imagine if kids in 4-H were taught how to raise dogs for dogfighting (not a perfect analogy, I know). And vegans are accused of imposing our belief systems and brainwashing kids?

And the wife says that one thing the family does is eat less meat and eggs (and they raise the animals on their land), but even that is glossed over.

Not only are they killed in cruel ways, but it is well documented that they are raised in ways that cause them great discomfort and agony. The question that must be raised, however, is how the conclusion not to eat meat follows from this. Tags: Moral Vegetarianism. This advertising created a need; it did not fill any need.

This brings up the question of how one can distinguish between what is forbidden by lactovo moral vegetarianism and vegan moral vegetarianism. Since animals cannot be judged morally praiseworthy or blameworthy, the question of whether it is morally wrong for them to eat meat cannot be raised. Tags: Moral Vegetarianism.

Vegan vegetarians who eat only vegetables, fruit, and nuts do not completely remove all microorganisms from their food, even with repeated cleaning. The question can be raised: Why should these organisms be killed and others not be killed? If so, no moral objection based on the killing of animals could be raised to the eating of meat.

Because we planned to adopt I had been researching eco-friendly, vegan nursery items but had yet to purchase a thing. There are so many decisions to be made and we're excited to raise our little girl with intention. Instead, they simply raise their children with the values of the dominant culture. Only time will tell.
