Misleading Myth #20 … “But going vegan is so difficult” (07/26/14)

Contrary to popular belief, going vegan is not a sacrifice at all. Being true to our innate Caring Nature is not a sacrifice — it is an Awakening. Ironically, it is our non-vegan choices that are the real sacrifice — castrating our inherent sense of Compassion every time we callously look away from the suffering […]

Misleading Myth #21 … “But God says it’s OK to eat animals (07/27/14)

In a world that is still highly religious, it is not surprising that this excuse comes up quite often. While I will deal specifically with a few Biblical responses thereto a bit later, it is far more important to consider the following over-arching Truth: IF God truly did create animals to be used &/or consumed […]

Misleading Myth #22 … “But we humans have always eaten meat” (08/02/14)

(otherwise knows as the “But we humans have always hunted animals” argument) While this pro-meat argument might SEEM to make more sense than most, when we look at it up close — especially when we look at it in the context of our current times (the only times that count when it comes to choosing […]

Misleading Myth #23 … “But eating meat is what allowed our ancestors to evolve” (08/19/14)

Well, while it is indeed true that quite a few anthropologists remained convinced for quite some time that it was the eating of animal flesh that allowed our human brains to radically expand to their current size & level of complexity — and while this argument SEEMS like a good one when first heard, it […]

Misleading Myth #24 … “But 3rd World peoples need to eat meat to survive” (08/20/14)

Hmmm … While I find it somewhat hard to believe that anyone could seriously use this argument to justify their support of animal exploitation, IF you happen to be one of the meat-eaters who does, then you might want to consider the following points of interest … *You might want to consider that the Maasai […]

Misleading Myth #25 … “But you would eat meat if you were on a deserted island” (08/27/14)

This is truly one of my favorites; so much so that even though it employs a patently ridiculous hypothetical, I will respond as though it isn’t ridiculous at all — I will respond as though any one of us actually could one day become stranded on a deserted island, with no hope of rescue and […]

Misaleading Myth #26 … “But we created domesticated animals in the first place” (08/28/14)

Seriously?!? You actually mean that all the cows, pigs and chickens that we developed over the past several centuries are now our personal property — are now ours to use and abuse as we see fit? You actually mean that purposefully breeding an animal makes it a slave to its breeder as soon as it […]

Misleading Myths – Bonus Myth … “But my canine teeth are made to eat meat” (09/08/14)

Short and sweet is often the best way to dispel delusions, so if the images below aren’t enough for you — if you really insist on arguing that we humans are obligate omnivores and are therefore designed to eat meat (hint: we aren’t) — then maybe this quote will clear things up instead … “The […]
