I've been vegan for 15 years, and it turns out it makes a very big impact on the environment to eat fewer animal products, which cause more greenhouse gases than all of transportation combined.

It's the 21st century. It's healthier for us, better for the environment and certainly kinder to be a vegetarian.

We should propagate the values of vegetarianism.

I am not a vegetarian. I subscribe to my own mantra: eat less, move more, eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, don't eat too much junk food, and enjoy what you eat. Or, to summarise: eat less, eat better, move more, and get political.

Basically, the reason I'm vegan is because when I was about 16 or 17 years old, I began to understand that we don't need to contribute to the killing and exploitation of animals to feed our bodies correctly.

Stop being a vegan and start enjoying what you eat.

The vegan diet is obviously lacking whatever essential nutrient it is that makes people likeable.

We need to boost our intake of healthy plant foods and reduce our dependence on animal-based foods.

My own view is that being a vegetarian or vegan is not an end in itself, but a means towards reducing both human and animal suffering and leaving a habitable planet to future generations.
