Veganism/Animal Facts?

Question by dani.2007: Veganism/Animal Facts?
I’ve recently gone Vegan (within the past month) and my mother doesn’t approve.

She believes that free-range animals, milk cows, laying hens, etc. are all treated humanely.

Personally, I think it’s a lie.

Are they treated better?
Treated “humanely”, as in nice living space, fresh grass, etc.??

that all depends on what your beliefs are

Every company is different and it’s hard to tell what products are the most animal-friendly, although I’m betting that PETA’s website can tell you where to find it.

I think dairy products should still be okay for vegans who care about animal rights. For example, if you DON’T milk a cow, that is bad for the cow…so it’s more humane to milk it, and you might as well use the milk. Not exactly a groundbreaking reference but it’s just an example.

Reality TV & Eating Disorders: Is there a way to get along? – Further commentary on the three reality tv shows planning to enter eating disorder treatment facilities. I do believe these programs can serve the ED community in a positive way if produced right, and if backed by a higher goal (similar to the Jamie Oliver show, where he is on a mission to fight the USDA). What if a program such as this was linked to treatment centers nationwide? What if Corporate sponsors offered the funds to allow more to enter treatment? What if the program also featured those who have recovered, perhaps mentoring for those in treatment? Just a few thoughts, but my main point is at face value, this sounds like a complete and total nightmare….but it could be an opportunity in disguise. Heather aka mamaV
