I've been a vegan for about 40 years. I am an animal lover, but that is not why I have remained a vegan. I did some pretty indepth studies into animal products, and decided that they were not the best foods for human consumption in the first place, even if grown at home in natural, healthy conditions.
blood of a slain animal is halted in the ongoing process of being cleaned by liver and kidneys, and thus the meat will contain blood with certain amounts of unfiltered impurities, which then becomes an added burden to the organs of the human who consumes this flesh. If one were to soak meat in water until all the blood is removed, you'd have an undesirable, tasteless, grey mass.
contains way too much protein, which is also hard on the kidneys. It has very little fiber, so it slows and clogs the digestive tract, increasing the risk of colon cancer.
often contains triginosis which, unless thoroughly cooked, can be transfered to humans.
fish have high levels of mercury, and are often full of worms.
this is just talking about “healthy” meat.
add the commercial practices of raising cattle, poultry, and hogs, forced feeding them to fatten them, feeding animal byproducts to herbivores, forced confinement in unsanitary conditions, feeding them growth hormones, antibiotics and other drugs and you have an undesirable product becoming even more detestible and health destroying. “Healthy” eggs have a lot of cholesterol. “hHalthy” milk has too much calcium for the human body (it was meant for calfs) and can lead to bone density problems later in life, as well as having too much saturated fat unless it's fatfree.
processed, cheese is hard to digest.
cheese contains cholesterol, when aged this cholesterol is particularly damaging to the lining of arteries. Consume eggs or dairy from commercial sources with the above unhealthy practices, and your risks skyrocket.
is only a very brief summary.
is an awful lot more that could be said.and proven. At this point in time, I doubt I could eat a piece of meat, or drink a glass of milk, or eat a piece of cheese, or an egg just because of it's taste, texture, and smell, unless, of course, it was disguised, and even then, knowlingly I would refuse it on grounds of what it would do to my body.
time I hear of mad cow disease, or salmonelle, or food poisoning from a bad hamburger or some other problem with animal products, I'm very glad I'm still a vegan.
