When I see the "Go Vegan World." It is kind of like prosletiz1ation. Like Islam trying to make the whole world Muslim or the Christians, Christian. Make the whole world Vegan. Curious thought but I could never sustain myself on only plants. Close but not quite.
I am a 230 lbs man! it takes energy to move this flesh bag 😀! Is it wrong of me to require meat? In this religion am I committing sin? If so what is the holy book scripture am I in breach of?

Meat eating is not a sin—it is simply ugly. The very idea of killing an animal when beautiful vegetarian food is available, is deeply unaesthetic. If you can justify killing animals, why not humans? After all, these creatures are our family—they are our brothers and sisters on the same evolutionary journey.
Maybe for you. I find it beautiful. Nature in it's plenitude. Unaesthetic?! Please, the sheer number of works of art made with animal killing as a theme, immediately renders your argument mute.
Interesting...
1. Except humans are created in the image of God and are distinct from humans.
2. If you don't agree with that then at least have the intellectual honesty of recognizing that animals eat other animals and this is a normal function of life on planet earth. Ever seen Lion King? Watch it again maybe.
3. What about human cultures like Inuits? Veganism is a privileged rich white person take. Go to Argentina and tell them you're a vegan. They'll be confused as shit. Veganism there just means poor. You're effectively living out the life of an impoverished person when actual impoverished people would kill to be able to consume delish, nutrient dense animal products.
Why do you need to justify it? Other animals are fine with eating eachother, even the ones that are omnivores and have a "choice".
If you claim humans are special and need to be held on a higher moral standard than animals, then you cannot claim a humans and animals are worth the same (or are "brothers and sisters") since that would be in deep contradiction with your own original premise.
You murderous bearded metrosexual! Carrots have feelings too!
I'm sure plants want to be eaten, that's why they evolved all those chemical defenses, no doubt.
Figures - a primate who sympathizes more with killing plans for food than other animals such as itself.
Every living thing needs sustenance. That would be other living things. The moment you expire you are food for worms too. It is the way of the world.
Beautiful, ugly - human concepts. Reality is as it is.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
You do you!
I could name many things in our society that many of us find ugly that you may disagree with :)
But why shove that down your throat?
You do you! :)
