World's Most Perplexing Math Problems

This week on World's Most Perplexing Math Problems: "More than 99% of all meat in the U.S. comes from animals raised in factory farms. Yet nearly all meat-eaters tell vegans that they exclusively eat humanely-raised meat. Explain."

Maybe it is time to change

"Standing up for children is expected, it is the morally right thing to do. Advocating for dogs, cats, and wildlife is accepted, it justifiable to quite a few. So why is speaking out for farm animals extreme, why is it pushing a 'point of view?' Maybe it is time to change this perspective, because their lives matter too!"

Why keep looking?

Cage- free
Free-range
Grass-fed
Humane

Why keep looking or the right way to do the wrong thing?

Not a choice

Not a choice: Veganism is no more a choice than being against child molestation, rape, human slavery, murder, or any other atrocity.

One day the absurdity will be palpable

"One day the absurdity of the almost universal human belief in the slavery of other animals will be palpable. We shall then have discovered our souls and become worthier of sharing this planet with them." -Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Non-vegan Ethics


Let's move forward

"As a vegan I'm not really interested in discussing what type of diet our caveman ancestors ate, or whether God put animals here for us to eat, or if we can obtain enough protein from a plant-based diet, or if humans are biologically herbivore or omnivore. These are tired arguments. What we should be discussing is how we can move forward and evolve as a race. The killing of billions of animals every year for food and clothing has helped put this planet and its inhabitants in the crisis situation that we're now faced with. And Veganism offers a solution. Global warming, the declining health of our population, polluted waterways and depleted soil, fished out oceans, starvation in poor countries, species extinction and rain forest destruction are but a few of the problems that can be addressed and remedied if more people embraced a vegan lifestyle. 
This is why being vegan is so important...it offers viable solutions and compassionate answers. It saves lives...not only the animals but very likely our own. The human race has backed itself into a corner, veganism offers a way out. Lets move forward." -Rich Lysloff
