Relatively new vegan here.

I sport a lot which means I need above average calories per day. Vegan food is of a low caloric density usually which means I end up eating all the fucking time. That definitely takes some getting used to. It sometimes even takes planning.

I love eating more than anything though so I don't really mind.

most vegans eat a shitload more than omnomnomnivores. with all the food nutter talking about how much it costs to eat veggies those in poverty cant eat vegan

Look at Detroit with the revitalization or urban housing projects with the implementation of farming over having grass or a lawn!

I did not say all, I have vegan body building friends who are much better fit  than some who do eat meat... Im not making a claim for a majority only the possibility.

Pollution is a huge problem but another one all together, the meat industry contributes to this as does any farming but farming can be done in ways that help reduce this much more so than meat production.

I don't have quarrels with your choice to eat meat, It does sound if you spite those who choose not to though and who say it contributes positively to this world... Because it does in many ways. Even if thats more meat for you in your eyes .... We didnt start off eating meat right away... it came later but of course its become part of our evolution but its much harder on our bodies to process the complex nitrogenous bases found in those amino acids and proteins.

I don't blame meat for the worlds problems, but it does contribute. Its not a fad to me, I just try to live simply and on less. For myself i strive to leave as little footprint anyway I can and no eating meat is just one of them.

But again this is just my choice, Ill say my bit, but not with intentions of causing converts (although If someone chose to try an alternative diet due to something I say then im more than happy to be a catalyst.)

I do me and this makes me happy

"We didn't start off eating meat right away"

The species that eventually evolved into humans were meat eaters. So in fact, our pre-human species were meat eaters, it's in our genes. 

Many claim our digestive systems hasn't evolved properly to digest grains yet.
