Misleading Myth #01 … “Only animals” (06/28/14)

Mashing the Myths of Meat: Myth #01 … “But they are only animals.” (a.k.a. “Animals are too unaware, or too stupid, to suffer”) When it comes to justifying the killing of our animal cousins, their intelligence (or perceived lack thereof) has NOTHING at all do with it … Indeed, it can’t. Otherwise it would become […]

Misleading Myth #02: “Slaughtered animals don’t suffer much” (06/29/14)

yeah … right.

Misleading Myth #03: “But I need to eat meat to be healthy” … (06/30/14)

Seriously? … You’ve got to be kidding me.

Misleading Myth #04 … “But we humans are natural omnivores” (07/01/14)

To keep it simple:  NO … WE … ARE … NOT! (which explains why meat-eaters live noticeably shorter lives than vegans, and why meat-eaters suffer dramatically higher incidences of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, stroke and osteoporosis) (P.S. and even IF we were natural omnivores, a plant-based diet is still a thoroughly healthy & completely cruelty-free […]

Misleading Myth #05 … “But I need to eat meat to get my protein.”  

Misleading Myth #06 … “But I need to eat meat to get my iron” (07/02/14)

Actually, this is NOT the case …

Misleading Myth #08 … “But vegan food is so boring” (07/06/14)

First of all, if you are placing your own fleeting pleasures of palate over the immense pain & suffering — indeed, the complete loss of life — that such food choices demand, then maybe it is time for you to look in the mirror and ask yourself what you truly stand for … Maybe it […]

Misleading Myth #09 … “But I can’t live without my meat/cheese” (07/07/14)

Mashing the Myths of Meat: Myth #09 … “But I just can’t live without my meat/cheese” Seriously?!?! You do know that you will actually live a lot better & a lot longer (& a LOT more compassionately) without it, right?  

Misleading Myth #10 … “There are so many other more important social issues” (07/08/14)

Actually … there aren’t. Please consider the following facts: *Are you concerned with world hunger? Well, while 20 million people will die of malnutrition this year worldwide, 5 TIMES that number (that’s 100 million people) could be adequately fed if Americans alone reduced their meat & dairy consumption by only 10%. It takes 16 pounds […]
