Opinionated Cheese: Not your Ordinary Dairy.: 10 common objections to going #vegan -

watchxmexrise:

1. Objection: “Being vegan is fine for you, but I like meat.”

Response: People don’t usually go vegan because they dislike meat or cheese or any other animal product. They go vegan because they dislike animal cruelty. And the reality is, you can’t have one without the other….

Amen!
