would you ever become vegan?

I think vegans just had bad experiences with particularly bad cheese and concluded it all wasn't worth it.
No, I don't think there is any need for me to be a vegan. That being said I do have a rule for eating living things, 'Never eat anything you have an emotional attachement to' Yeah, pretty simple rule eh? Incidentally this rule is why I can't choose my own lobster or crab at my local Safeway. I like animals too much, so I grow attached to them pretty quickly.
I'm doing a nutrition course in college, and with this in mind:Random Fella said:
- Most herbivores have microbes in their gut to provide protein, as they die in the gut and are absorbed by the body, because they can't get all of their required nutrients from plant matter alone.
- All carnivores eat plant matter to some degree, as they also cannot get all of their essential nutrients from meat alone.
- All herbivores eat animal matter from time to time, usually inadvertantly, but those which eat meat too often actually get addicted to it. So even herbivores know that meat is the way to go.
- The human body is designed to be omnivorous, as we have neither a specialised gut, nor specialised teeth
I was vegetarian for four years (or so I thought, but that's a different story entirely...), and it didn't do me that much good considering I was putting weight on from eating eggs for protein. If other alternatives were less expensive and more easily obtainable, then it probably wouldn't have made that much of a difference.
On topic completely, however, I probably could go completely vegan - I'm lactose intolerant, so it wouldn't really affect me that much.
Stop trying to make us go vegan! If pressed, all we need to do is say 'BACON' and the argument is over by default! Plus, if we all go vegan, we would hike the price of your food up, causing a vegan overload, lowering the price of bacon, and making me happier!SsilverR said:
Among bacon, i cant give up pork, pepperoni, salami, and smoked gouda.

most male chicks get scrambled as soon as they hatched. Most cows rarely see daylight and have lots of health problems including mental disorders.
Look, I don't like the moral debate, but please explain how you justify your comment.
That's not necessarily the way it has to be. This goes without saying that you don't buy the cheap ass shit made from animals who live their entire life knee deep in their own feces.flatten_the_skyline said:
No, you pay some more and get these products from animals living in much better conditions.
Sure you might have psychic powers, but with great powers, comes great temptations...Ih8pkmn said:

OT: Why is it unethical to eat animals? Aren't you killing plants to go vegan? Which are, you know, living things?
"Are those nuts? You're eating baby plants? YOU MONSTER!"
No meat? No milk? No cheese?! Hell no, I love myself some cheese. Besides, being a vegan really isn't healthy (okay, maybe mentally, but not physically), and too much of a fuss.
First off, there is really no substitute for meat when it comes to protein.
Second, no I would not. Meat is far too good. Besides, though we may be omnivorous, our digestive system is better suited for meat than it is for plants.
