Is a Vegan transition really worthwhile?
The definition of Vegan is a lifestyle with out animal produce. Any thing derived by another mammal is excluded by the Vegan zealot. To deliberately avoid the consumption of any ingredients which are sourced from an animal. This includes fur and leather products.
For some people, doing whatever is popular at the time is their priority, since they never want to 'miss out' on the aspect of which the majority is experiencing. High volumes of the population feel that because they were raised by their families on diets including meat that they would be somehow dishonouring their carers method of congeniality. If I flatly refused to eat my meal because there was an animal product on the plate, I would probably receive a very cold response, from my family that is. Simply being that they all eat foods resourced from animals; except one I had spoken with recently who just happens to have converted to practising as a pious vegan.
I must cover the three main concerns relating to veganism, or any other coordinating diet preferences. The ethical alignment, the nutritional value and the cost effectiveness. Take Arla Dairies for example; apparently according to one video I discovered on the net, some detectives trespassed on one of the farms warehouses, only to witness these poor cows trapped in miserable conditions. They were cramped and standing in their own faeces. I can't find the exact video I am referencing to, however I would stress that people check the background of a company before choosing a product from their sales. A friend told me that Nestlé confectionery had been corrupted by the means of the way they undermined the work forces to create their brand image. Manipulative, deceptive and oppressive on the LEDC's as they never return money where the materials and labour were resourced by their exploitative processes.
Regarding instructions on Nestlé infant formulae, "Many mothers were able to read in their native language but were still unable to read the language in which sterilization directions were written." Typical doublespeak by a notorious corporate giant too focused on profits to address these kinds of errors...
Whether purchasing Arla or Nestlé merchandise is affecting the proletariats diminutively behind the scenes of supermarket exaltation. Its not just globalization that is implemented against once consumerism yields its wrath. It is the life of a person, a community and an occupation whom are misrepresented.
Back to the original debate, I think that becoming a vegan would be extremely challenging, and not necessarily the healthiest lifestyle long term, if you care to ask. However once you trial the adoption of a new habit within 30 days you should have a decent amount of insight as to whether you're going to maintain that as reality for you or not. Remember only to change things in your life if only you are going to benefit from it. My father has insisted that I cease to use alcohol for the sake of my mental health (and finances) on the contrary I believe his advice will be futile. Recall that Alcohol is in fact vegan friendly, oh how the irony wreaks right there.
I visited the vegan fair event at NTU; I approached most of the stalls & invited informal conversation about what was available and why I should take an interest. The main fear that circled the merchants were that commercial stock had certainly been tested on animals, that they could guarantee that their independently sold and manufactured gifts and consumables had been made organically and did not associate even one part of the process with animal trading.
I did end up taking home a few business cards and bought a 2g pot of organic eye shadow dust for £14 from Bohemian Chic Minerals. Eye shadows generally last a couple of years once opened but despite the natural nature of this one it says 30M on the tub
The benefits of being a vegetarian or vegan, doesn't axiomatically override those of someone who consumes animal produce. Consider this. We all have a unique genetic structure that doesn't necessarily adhere to everyone's health. Also question that the people ruminating whether they should become ve/v for the sake of religious or spiritual beliefs, may be mistaken due to unreliability of resources.
Also contemplate that not eating meat may not have the desired effect involving religious or conscientious practices. People taught to avoid animal products may rebel to eating Big Macs every day, simply because their domestic routines limited them from exploring alternative diets. Austerity around meal choices isn't always the best mode of regimenting fitness.
Meat eaters are not unhealthier than vegetarians. Some folk are just a bit grossed out about the handling of an animal after its death and therefore would respect its life by choosing not to; yet as so much food is wasted in this country, and thousands go without a proper meal, in some scenarios it might be slightly stuck up to decline meat as an option. I realise that poultry, dairy etc. is an extravagance to the bill, some families probably keep it to Sunday Roast.

If it were so simple to adopt the Vegan life style then why isn't every one doing so? Supposedly its a mere trend, or rather a more sincere movement by progressive activists.

I recommend this to read, correlating to the theme we just discussed above(!)

Descriptio
I had for sometime, an atrocious maladjustment to McDonalds. I remain skeptical about their farming and ingredients. Nobody is that successful without some loopholes.
Its been nice to see that franchises who once singularly catered for meat eaters only, have began launching options for people of a substitute nutritional moderation.
Just some food for thought, haha.
update: veganism is innately a flawed concept since we require the labour or "exploitation" of human beings (like animals) to provide us with associated products, so every time you use something such as a car or a phone or any household appliance, it cost the work of the individual in a manufacturing system which is potentially unethical (see Apple assembly of iPhones and their workers environment, and how this breaches human rights)
