Veganism Debunked (Infographic)

By MindBodyGreen

With people like Bill Clinton going vegan, veganism has been in the news a lot lately... which also means that there are a lot of  misconceptions. This infographic from Ethical Ocean attempts to set the record straight. 

(We didn't know that Brad Pitt was vegan -- did you?)

All the Vegans I know are awesome, tolerant people!

This is SO cool!  Thanks for sharing!

I suppose I know more of them than you do: I've run into more than a handful of the most intolerant, critical and obnoxiously politicized vegans (who are right, and you're either wrong or dangerously stupid or just a vile murderer of no value to the planet)...

Not all of them, by any measure. But lots.

Cool! I love infographics. I really don't believe 1% of US population is vegan, though. Where are these people? I've met one...

We have a local vegan group. I'm veggie not vegan but it was nice to talk with tolerant, liberal people since I live in the intolerant, conservative, bible belt. If you don't have a local group, make one happen!

 I'm find that most vegans I know aren't that healthy...they eat all of the vegan "junk" food (meat/cheese-like products) because they can never combine the foods right to feel satisfied.

Another problem I have is all of the soy products. SO much soy! Yucky stuff.

And there are so much nutrition that vegans miss out on from animal products...

Just my $0.02. :)

I dont think I believe that 25% of Americans think animals deserve the same rights as humans. 

And just because veganism CAN be healthy doesn't mean vegans ARE healthy.  Any diet can be healthy, but we a country of malneaurished fat-asses for a reason.

Are any of them family members? I know family can sometimes be the most critical and harsh with their words and judgements.
