Why Veganism? Moral, health, economic, religious, well-documented reasons should be enough, not to mention the increased personal qualities of tolerance, compassion, love and non-violence.
To quote Adiraja dasa "Vegetarianism, then, from the Vedic point of view, is part of something larger, the natural way of eating for those who want to make the most of their human life. In whatever way we follow, whether we become perfect spiritualists or simply purify our eating habits, we become happier and lessen the suffering in the world around us".
And God knows the world needs less suffering! This point alone should be big enough for more to "convert".

Why is acceptable to eat plants and not animals?

Pateeja, you are invited to participate in the idea “What is your definition of God? 100 words or less”. Your input will be appreciated. Thank you.

Lions, Tigers and other carnivores eat animals because Law of Nature designed them as carnivores. So it is OK for them to eat other animals. Everybody [==every creature] has to eat to live. Humans are designed to be herbivores, so they eat plants. I believe plants also have life, and just like lions kill other animals and eat them, humans also KiLL plants and eat them. But that is Law of Nature, so it is OK.
