Cruelty to Animals
More than 27 billion wanyama are killed for chakula every mwaka in the U.S. alone. wanyama in factory farms have no legal protection from cruelty that would be illegal if it were inflicted on mbwa au cats, including neglect, mutilations, genetic manipulation, drug regimens that cause chronic pain and crippling, transport through all weather extremes, and gruesome and violent slaughter.

Amazing Animals
Farmed wanyama are no less intelligent au capable of feeling pain than are the mbwa and Cats we cherish as our companions. They are inquisitive, interesting individuals...

Here's how I wanted to become a Veg. It started when I was 12 yrs. old. One siku I was wondering about vegetarianism. What it was, what was the reason, etc. So I looked up what it was and I found out that a diet was not only something to lose weight, but that it was something that meant what wewe ate (or something like that) a lifestyle. I looked up zaidi and found out that vegetarians ate tofu, which was a soy product made out of soybeans. I found some words that I wasn't familiar with: Vegan, Fruitarian, and Pescetarian. I looked up these words and found out what each of these meant. A Vegan...

Hey! This is my first makala on here and I thought I would make it count. wewe see I'm only 14 and I've been a vegetarian for a mwaka now. So I thought i'd reach out to those looking to become vegetarian and just need some help.
My first tip would be to look up the video,"Meet your Meat." This video had a strong influence on me when I first started to think about becoming vegetarian. It showed the horrible ways of slaughter and the ways these wanyama become a hotdog on your plate. And yes it went into the slaughter house!!!! It made me cry and showed me that we were just murdering an animal...

Here is some *hopefully* helpful information for those new to au considering a vegetarian lifestyle. Courtesy of the Vegetarian Society UK.

What don't vegetarians eat?
A vegetarian does not eat any meat, poultry, game, fish, shellfish au crustacea, au the by-products of slaughter.

Statistics
Department of Health and chakula Standards Agency (FSA) – National Diet and Nutrition Survey. In a UK-wide survey of 1,491 adults and 1,582 children between 2008 - 2011 2% of both adults and children reported that they were vegetarian.

The number of committed vegetarians has actually remained fairly stable over...

I've been a vegetarian for over twelve years now because meat and poultry make me really ill (maybe I'm allergic) I can and do eat seafood sometimes, I'm not overly keen on cows milk, so I drink soya maziwa and use coffee whitener for coffee.
Having alisema that I do like flavored maziwa and will have regular maziwa in coffee when I'm out, I still like foods such as cheese and eggs and I could never imagine being totally vegan, I would have to give up ice cream (soya ice cream is nice but very expensive) I just have to wonder how do vegans handle such a diet? no cream, ice cream, cheese, eggs, etc.
I'm...

CREULTY TO ANIMALS. SAY NO!

chickens aren't just things that can be bred, killed and eaten. they have souls, they feel pain. if wewe disagree with the way they are kept and treated, too, then jiunge my club.

Think again!
so, i had ilitumwa this awhile zamani over at the Debate spot and it got hardly any response at all. i had tailored it a bit over there, so i'm posting my original essay here. hopefully it'll get a better reception from zaidi like-minded people :).


"Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet..."
- Albert Einstein

Raising livestock for human consumption has innumerable ramifications on the environment and to human health. Livestock is responsible for the consumption huge amounts of land, water, and resources, as...

It seems like vegan is becoming the new vegetarian. And I cannot adapt.

From websites to magazines targeted at the non-meat eating audience, pressure to become vegan is on the rise. Stories of cruelty in egg-laying farms and dairy cows being hurt can put wewe on quite a guilt trip. Some people choose to avoid animal products altogether and become vegan.

But wait, what about those of us who do not eat meat but choose to eat eggs and/or dairy? Aren't we just as good? It isn't looking that way. From what I read and see, zaidi and zaidi people are trying to push veganism over vegetarianism. Well, I...

Last year, there was a big scandal when US Vice President Dick Cheney shot a 78 year-old lawyer in the face while hunting canned birds in Texas. Characteristicly, most newscasts blabbered on about the lawyer getting shot and no one seemed to focus much on the fact that Dick and his buddies killed over 400 practically domesticated birds.

The definition of canned hunting is "the hunting of captive wanyama in a confined area". Canned hunting generally occurs on private land where laws protecting wildlife are either inapplicable au difficult to enforce. Hunters pay to kill native au exotic (and...

Here's some things that I thought were nice to do when going Veg.

1. Get into a healthy eating habit.
If you're going to do a veg diet then do it the RIGHT way, not the WRONG way. The right way of a veg diet is important (especially if you're wanting to live longer). This way will be good for wewe and your health. All wewe need to do is adapt a healthy habit and not eat too much junk, taka chakula (that's how some vegs don't live longer). Doing this will surely decrease having any health problems of eating too much unhealthy food. The same goes for drinks as well.

2. Grow plants.
Growing plants is a great...

She calls it Franken-food, genocide.

Strawberries grown from seeds injected with DNA from arctic kweta samaki to make them frost resistant. Seeds pumped with suicide genes that yield an infertile harvest so corporations can profit from a patent placed on the plant’s genetic code. mchele injected with traits that make it zaidi nutritious so those in parts of the world where vitamin deficiencies are often fatal have a dependable chanzo of vitamins. Wheat injected with bacteria that renders its grain resistant to pesticides and insecticides. Cows injected with artificial sex hormones so they produce zaidi milk.

I have a lot of Marafiki that aren't a vegetarians, but i do have two that are, and we have similar ideas that i'd like to share, to see if anyone shares these ideas. Many non-vegetarians think that being one is like a religion, wewe never eat meat au anything with meat in it, au produced kwa an animal. This is NOT true. Vegetarianism is a way of life, a moral code, if wewe will. wewe choose what wewe are and are not comfortable with. I cannot stand to eat meat, fish, anything that was alive and could songesha with its own free will. I find it gross that any human could eat another creature, its almost like cannibalism, which is also gross. I know vegetarians that eat gelatin, and i have another friend who claims that she is not, because she eats gelatin, and this is not true. I eat gelatin every once in a while, and that's usually three times a year, and i am totally calm when i do this. Vegetarianism should be viewed as different for everyone, not a strict code of rules.
