vegan2016
Hello people,
I thought others would be interested in starting the new year with a more healthy plant-based diet and environmentally friendly lifestyle. I haven't watched this film yet but from the trailer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10MK7v6Mhjc) it looks like it's well made and worthwhile.
Please stay open-minded and save any negative feedback for after the deal expires (and only if you have actually watched the film)
Wishing you all a happy, healthy and compassionate 2016 :-)
WHAT IS THE FILM ABOUT?
Watch the film and learn about the history of veganism and the ethical, environmental and health reasons that move people to go vegan! From butcher to vegan chef, from factory farmer to farm sanctuary owner – Live and Let Live tells the stories of six individuals who decided to stop consuming animal products for different reasons and shows the impact the decision has had on their lives.
Philosophers such as Peter Singer, Tom Regan and Gary Francione join scientists T. Colin Campbell and Jonathan Balcombe and many others to shed light on the ethical, health and environmental perspectives of veganism.

"Live and Let Live is an idiom in which expresses the idea that all should be able to live their lives in the manner they want to, regardless of what other may think of them."
Exactly, (quoted for truth).
And btw, with regards to ones current diet, I mentioned in one of my earlier posts that its a good idea to add a variety of cruelty-free healthy alternatives to your current diet and see what suits you, then gradually reduce unhealthy animal products which you will find less and less appealing with time as you become more informed.
I wasnt quite sure what you meant by your last line but I'm guessing its about you enjoying a diet based on animal products. I also used to enjoy the taste of some animal products, just like I enjoyed smoking tobacco. Fortunately for me I didnt grow up in the 50s when doctors were still recommending smoking and society was far less accepting today so I managed to quit several years ago. The trick for me was to build and maintain the mentality that I am not depriving myself by not "enjoying" poisoning my body and our environment we share with all other beings (human and non-human).
