I was inspired to go vegan through Freelee the Banana girl's videos on Youtube. When I saw all the stuff the animals had to go through I was like 'No was Jose can I continue to eat meat.'

Welcome to the forums! Where are you from, and how is veganism viewed there?

Welcome to the forum! how is being vegan / atheist out there? How did you become atheist?

Freelee does have some issues though:

Welcome Fuzzy,

It's great that you went vegan. I'm glad Freelee was able to inspire you. I hope you'll be able to learn more here.

how is she sexist ? She said tests to see if you are fit to be 'parents' not only fathers. The reason she suggests a mandatory vasectomy is becuz it is less invasive that a woman getting a hysterectomy becuz that starts early menopause. Also the world is overpopulated so that vasectomy would help in controlling the population and making sure only ppl fit to be parent get children. Think about how many teens who are unready for kids get them.

it seems completely one sided considering women can still get their tubes tied, having a hysterectomy is not the only option. it is also really bad for men because it lowers their testosterone substantially. I know because some people close to me that had a vasectomy and they suffers from low T and now regret it. taring people apart against their will because it is mandatory doesn't sound very "vegan" to be honest considering humans are sentient beings.

the way of controlling population is not by taking away the right to have kids, which is a birth right. thats bat shit crazy... the more minds we have the faster we can advance. if anything we need far more education!

my position still stands, she is a sexist cunt

and this is coming from someone that doesnt fall into the whole "respect all sentient beings" part of veganism or someone that has never wanted and doesn't ever plan on having children.
