Vegan Vegetarianism
hi
everyone how are you all doing today if
you’re good then please raise your hand
up i can see a lot of you are good so
that’s great
today i want to talk to you about vegan
and vegetarian but first
i want to tell you that everywhere we go
everywhere we step on a cave is
following us
in that cave i name it the norm and the
tools you have
are also your confidence the more
confidence you have
this faster you you’ll be able to break
out of the norm
and when you break out the norm you’re
not the normal standard that people
expect you to have anymore you’re now a
different person
different from everyone different from
every being
dr seuss once said why fit in while
we’re born to stand out which i think is
a really good quote
in contrast it explains that we’re born
to stand out
so we shouldn’t so we shouldn’t really
do what others do
we are our own species
now i want to ask you before i start my
speech
are there any vegans or vegetarians
in here oh that’s quite interesting i
can see how a few of you are
which is a good number
i’m also a vegetarian
so why did i choose to be one and
what does this mean exactly
a vegetarian or vegan is somebody
who only eats leafy greens or vegetables
and doesn’t eat any meat
according to wt box only 14
of the world are veget are vegetarians
or vegans
in comparing that to seven billion
people
counting it’s a really small number
so i want to join in the fun i want to
be different from others
one more thing according to peta
the animal factory is not perfect we can
all agree on that
because every animal is being tortured
especially when they are locked into
really small
places in animal factories
chickens if they’re male they get
shredded but if they’re female
and they get to live on but their life
is not going to be any
any happy because
female chickens will be their feathers
will be cut off
they will be shot with juices that would
make them much more tender
and they would be crowded into just a
small pen
if they fight each other their beaks
will be cut off
and finally they will be transferred
into meat
those are the chickens nuggets we eat
and also meat is also the major cause
of carbon dioxide climate change
you see beef
you can see the beef here it tops up
all of the others that’s because
cows produce a lot of methane that
methane rises into the air and destroys
our ozone layer
because cows are kept in really small
groups
in a really large number
and the larger the number the cows are
the more methane will be produced
when they’re spread it out the methane
wouldn’t really cost much
but because they’re grouped together
meaning
that the methane will just gradually
increase
leading to climate change
and there’s a difference between
vegetarians and vegans
vegans are not eating any animal
products
while vegetarians don’t eat meat
but still they eat eggs
drink milk and eat cheese
now i want to ask you who here has been
different from others
like being out of the gnome just as i
said at the start of my speech
that’s a that’s a that’s that’s an
interesting number of
people
this story happened in school
approximately one year ago
i turned vegan i turned vegetarian
because i
wanted to save animals they gave us a
lot of resources
like war so i think we should save them
right
in school it was a normal day until
lunch came in
i sat down and eat and ate all of my
food
except for the meat of course and then
it was a normal day until the afternoon
when my friends started to ask me why
did you eat or meat
well that to them i answered well i just
turned vegetarian a few
days ago so uh it’s it’s normal to do
that right
my friends were like no it’s so weird
why are you doing this please stop i was
like
no i won’t stop this is what i do i
think it’s good
so that’s what i do i get teased of
course
because if you’re different then the
first thing you get
your feedback would be teased people
will tease you because
that you aren’t the same as them you’re
different from what they do
my initial thought on that time was
ignoring them and doing my own business
because that what that’s what they did
to me that’s
that’s what they did to me it’s not good
so i ignore them and maybe that would be
good
and my parents also told me that if
someone’s bullying you just ignore them
they’ll stop
but what i did was complain and argue to
them
which is the opposite of what i wanted
to do
and things just got worse
but in the end i decided to stand up for
myself
and i ignore them we’re even now
but please i’m not forcing you guys to
be vegan or vegetarian whatever
because forcing just makes it
worse we already had a reputation that
we force others to be
vegetarians and that’s does
and that description doesn’t match us at
all we’re different being
and also if you are one
please do not force other people it’s
it’s ruining our reputation and i don’t
really think
if we deserve that
thank you for listening
you said i did well
