Well, I'm speaking as a former meat eating Republican who believes that animals are here on Earth to serve man. Vegan is the way to go. I've been vegan for a month and a half now and my blood pressure (top number) has gone down 30 points. I'm now in the normal range. I was having heart congestion and my feet were swelling. I'm now losing weight, feeling great, and I don't have those crazy cravings for sweets and diary products. I think the milk and cheese was frankly killing me. Milk is in everything now and most junk food.

I will say though that everytime PETA gets involved with the Vegan stance, they are hurting their cause. The health benefits of eating vegan are incredible. However, people feel that the vegan diet is being pushed only to save animal's lives. They think the health benefits mentioned are not true and only propaganda. So I really think you guys should be focusing on telling the public about the HEALTH benefits. Don't mention ethics when it comes to people's food. Remember that we are animals also and survival comes first in our minds.
