• Jackson quoted ‘I feel great. I have a lot more energy than I used to have. I sleep better. I like the look in my clothes better. I don’t cramp as much, I exercise better & I think that my circulation has gotten better.’ (S L Jackson, published unknown, accessed 5th January 2016)

Myths

• “don’t we need to drink milk for strong bones?” (34)

• “Don’t I need meat to build muscle when I exercise?” (53)

• “Animals Can’t feel pain… can they?” (66)• “Don’t you need meat to be healthy?” (19)• “But we are Omnivores, aren’t we?”(10)

http://www.veganuary.com/myths/

Myth 66 ‘Animals can’t feel pain can they’?• ‘The clearest example is that many

animals demonstrate typical pain behaviour, such as moaning, yelping, writhing, seeking to avoid the source of pain, etc. Just as we may infer that a fellow human being is in pain if they exhibit this kind of behaviour, we may infer that an animal is in pain if they exhibit such behaviour. Furthermore, there is physiological evidence in support of this claim: many animals have nervous systems very similar to our own, and their bodies react much like our own would when harm is inflicted.’

Summary: This myth is untrue and it proven due to the information that is provided. The information states that animals have feelings as they resemble certain actions in which humans do when the feel pain or emotion. This is then gone into further detail of how the actions react similar to us humans & answer the question for the myth.

Myth 10 ‘But we’re omnivores, aren’t we?’

• ‘Just because we can eat meat, doesn’t mean that we’re supposed to. When you look more closely at our anatomy and biology and compare it to that of obligate omnivores you’ll notice some very obvious differences. Obligate omnivores are designed to kill, rip apart and digest raw flesh using only their teeth, and they’re very good at it. Not only are humans physically incapable of doing this, but it would also make us extremely ill in the process. By comparison, we thrive on a plant-based diet including a mix of fruits, vegetables, nuts, legumes and whole grains. We are not obligate omnivores so we don’t need to eat animals.’

Summary: This myth is stating how we are technically omnivores, but we were originally designed to be living with a plant based diet. This is due to the knowledge of Omnivores & Carnivores are usually designed to kill, rip apart & digest raw flesh only using teeth, which we physically can’t do, & in the process would make us ill. I think that this myth would be quite useful in some circumstances as it is proving that we humans don’t necessarily need to eat meat to survive, due to getting what we need from healthier foods such as plants, oats and vegetables etc.

Environment• Summary: Vegan diets can help with the

environment from different ways. ‘A third’ of the land which is needed for conventional Western diets is needed for a varied vegan diet. This statement shows that a vegan diet doesn’t require as much land to produce. ‘3.5 billion humans could live off the food currently fed to livestock’ This statement is showing the facts the from the amount of food that we use for livestock is so much, we could actually feed 3.5 billion humans from the food. The article to the right states multiple facts & interesting information on the matter, ranging from what problems we are facing, population matters & facts about the FAO’s facts about population and undernourishment.
