Going vegan is good for the body, they are healthier than the meat they we consume as long as the vegetables that we eat are rid of the chemicals that are used in grow them. Though the chemicals helps them grow faster and bigger, the chemical will have a side effect on the human body so if am gong to go vegan, i will go for home grown vegetables.
To give up such a basic part of human nature, being an omnivore, takes a lot of will power and is something I will never do.
Among the Hindus, being vegetarian means getting an elevated status in the society. Vegetarians forms the elite group of the Hindus. Those who eat meat occupy the middle group. And those who consume beef are treated as the lowest tier.
Thanks for the info. I didn't have prior knowledge about that. Anyways, I have big respect for vegans, I'm not a vegan myself but its hard to be one day in day out and as what the poster above said a lot of willpower. And there is also the health benefits that goes along as well. But are there any studies saying that being a vegan is better than any other healthy eating diets like Atkins? Because I never encountered one? If anyone knows, can you put me out to the right direction?

I treat them normally if they do not try to impose my way of life on me. I eat meat and I like it, because the body needs all trace elements. Perhaps in the future I will reduce the amount of meat, but I can not completely refuse.
That's the problem with a lot of the Vegans that are present today, at least the ones that I've met. The big thing that they love to do is to shit on all of the foods that you eat and they love to compare themselves and their eating habits to you, which is something that just bothers me.
If Vegans want to do what they want they can and I won't care, but once someone starts bothering me on what I do and what I eat that's when I personally feel that they've crossed the line and are going to have to take one step back.
So, Vegans are fine unless you bother me about my eating habits.

Being a vegan would have been difficult in the beginning. Vegan means we only eat foods that are vegetables and fruits. Vegans do not eat foods derived from animal, be it meat or eggs. Being vegan is something that is very good for health. But in most animals are the source of many vitamins and protein. Vegans do not eat meat and eggs mean life becomes vegan will lose how delicious taste of meat and eggs, and they are also good for health
I am indifferent to them. This is their life and they themselves choose what to eat. Those who become vegan fashion trends are vigorously propagandizing this trend and for many they seem to be bad.
I am thinking about to be vegan for a month, how it will effect my body?
Do i still need to eat meat to get all the vitamins?

In India (especially in North India), a majority of the people are vegetarian. And as far as I know, they don't face any serious nutritional deficiency. The Indians consume a lot of paneer (cottage cheese) and dal (pigeon pea). Perhaps that is the reason.
You have a valid point. Whereas paneer contains 0% iron for daily intake, the dal does contain 28% iron intake per day per 100 grams. I however, will get sick of eating dal day in and day out, month after boring month. Give me fish food and red and white meat instead and I will have inner peace.
You can replace the white meat with mushrooms. If cooked properly with all the needed spices, then mushroom tastes like white meat. Tofu is another option which you can try. Also, you can try some of these options:

From your site, surely you will not wish me a vegan diet on almost only burgers and hot dogs. Plus, please take note from OP poll that the question is about whether you will consider going vegan. The only thing of notice here, is that not even a quarter of respondents will do the "consideration", which is a far cry from taking any adequate action whatsoever. It seems Vegans are fighting only a honorary battle, to be commended for their bravery.
I think we need meat, some of the nutrition from meat is good for our body, but i plan to decrease my meat consumption, i ever being vegan for a month, and i can feel the difference, when you become vegan you become more patience and your digestion is better, but less power, that is why i suggest a balance food between vegetable and meat
Eating meat is part of our daily diet, we need both meat, fruits and veggies for us to live. There are nutrients that only meat can give.But, I am salute to those who can live in vegan only, i wish I could be like them also, at my age my doctor said that I am overage so I feel that I need to begin eating vegan only, how just I wish I can.

Personally, I love meat. I eat it almost everyday, especially chicken or red meat. So I would never go vegan, I don't
think I could go 2 weeks without meat. As for people who are vegan, I think of it almost like an allergy. If any
meat or animal related items makes you feel sick and upset, you might as well be allergic. To give up such a basic
part of human nature, being an omnivore, takes a lot of will power and is something I will never do.

I'd go vegan if I could
I was always afraid I couldn't get sufficient nutrients in order to regain my strength after an excersize or a hard work somewhere
I find it very noble that some people refuse to eat other animals since they're also living beings
That's what I found most astonishing about buddishm, a religion that finally doesn't put humans above everything else
But I am too weak to try it out
Cheers to those who are vegan!
I think even going vegan for a few days a week can help your body to become more healthy -
too much cheese and fatty meat isn't good for anyone! It helps the environment too, it takes
a lot more water and energy to grow a cow than the equivalent in plant protein.
But.. each to his (or her) own. if you want to try some great recipes though, there are
tons here, most of them more delicious than you would believe - and definitely not boring:

I have noticed deliciously looking recipes on the mentioned site indeed, and as I am an omnivore, I don't see harm in trying those. However, I did notice as well Pickled Turmeric Eggs, which, by its very nature, do not qualify as strictly vegan. Plus, make sure you don't use any fats or anything else deriving from any animal whatsoever, when preparing recipes, otherwise your vegan ideals will stumble, fall and crash to the ground.

What Are Your Thoughts On Vegans? Or Going Vegan ?
Do you have concerns about animal abuse by eating meat or using animal products?
Do you feel strongly that it is your right to eat meat?

Please.. Don't go vegan man.. Its hard >.< We really need meet no matter what so we can be strong vegans are strong too but they lack some fats that we really need in our daily life and i feel strongly to eat meat its not really abusive but its for food animals doesn't even have emotions and its nature they eat their own kind we eat their kind so its nature
In my opinion everything rolls down to an individual's choice whether its vegan or meat lover. I would recommend folks stop stating meat lovers encourage animal cruelty as we dont.
