Where do animal rights, environmental concern, feminism, and desire to be healthy come together?
Veganism. (not consuming animal products: meat, dairy, eggs, honey)
What you eat makes a strong statement about what you believe.
Animal rights activists would be vegan because we believe that animals do not exist to be or provide food for us.
Feminists should be vegan because it is wrong to exploit female animals (cows and chickens). It is specieist (discriminating against non-human animals) to only be concerned with human females. This is a combination of animal rights and feminism of course.
Only animal products have cholesterol. So if you are only eating plant products, then the only cholesterol to worry about is what the body produces naturally.
Environmentalist should also be vegan (or at very least consume only organically grown products). This is one area my family is trying to improve on. It is good to recycle, but reduce comes first. Therefore we must consume less processed and packaged products.
I think that a vegan diet is the best way to put those four beliefs into action.
