It's been a while since mankind started consumption of animal products, ever since human race stepped on planet earth he conquered lands, crossed the oceans, flew over skies and dominated animals kingdom and with it pollution, global warming, diseases and catastrophic misuse of resources followed with. Animal cruelty is one of the major issues in United States, and all the slaughter houses, fish and poultry farms and many others deemed to produce what supposedly is called "Quality Food" for almost 325.7 million people, and that is not being said all the people across the nation use animal products in their daily bases, and even not all the mentioned farms may kill unethically but what is important to be considered is we cant inspect every single slaughter house in The United States.

HEALTH BENEFITS OF A PLANT-BASED DIET
A vegan diet can be one of the healthiest ways to live. Plant-based diets should contain plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, beans, legumes, nuts and seeds. Because vegan diets often rely heavily on these healthy staples, they tend to be higher in vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, and fibre. Healthy vegan diets are abundant with vitamins B1, C, and E, folic acid, magnesium, and iron while also being low in cholesterol and saturated fats.
A plant-based vegan diet can reduce the risk of mortality from conditions such as:
- Type 2 diabetes
- Cardiovascular disease
- Ischemic heart disease
- Hypertension
- Stroke
- Obesity
- Some cancers including prostate and colon cancer
Vegan diets can be healthy for anyone of any age, including children, pregnant and lactating women, and the elderly. It’s important to note that vegans need to pay special attention to their diets to avoid specific nutrient deficiencies. There is little risk of deficiency in a well-planned vegan diet.

Becoming Vegan by Brenda Davis and Vesanto Melina is also a fantastic resource for ensuring optimal health while living a vegan lifestyle.
As an individual by turning to veganism I protested against slaughter houses and benefited both environment and my own body.
Rachel L, who is vegan too propose that eating animals is equal to eating your pet dogs or cats and having such feeling made her turn to vegan.She claimed that by consuming more meat people gave more power to meat industries to kill and slaughter animals, she also mentioned veganism had influenced her health and mindset.
