What do you think about this guy's bold move?

Lots of folks decide to live differently, that’s part of what makes life on Earth so interesting. It’s our job to accept one another the way we are, as long as no one is getting hurt as a result of a lifestyle choice.

Diet is something that varies from person to person. Whether you’re vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, paleo, something in between, or you’ll eat anything that’s on a plate, that’s your choice to make. While we could argue with each other for days and days, we’ll never all agree on one superior diet.

However, recent studies have shown that eating a vegetarian or pescetarian diet can add years to your life and decrease your risk of many health issues including type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Other studies have shown that it’s entirely possible to get enough protein with a strictly plant-based diet. The idea that meat is the best and most efficient source of protein is swiftly going out the window.

Even without the science to back up someone’s decision to abide by a vegan diet, there’s the issue of animal cruelty in the meat and dairy industries.

Animals are kept in abysmal conditions, living miserable lives.

Without getting into the upsetting specifics, the dairy industry is just as bad as the meat industry when it comes to the treatment of animals. I mean, do you really want to harm these cuties?

Then there are all the environmental repercussions of these two industries: including insane carbon emissions and animal methane.

That’s why it’s so shocking that someone would actually have the nerve to protest a vegan festival.

But, folks, there are some twisted people out there in this strange world we live in.

At a vegan festival in Amsterdam, a man wearing a shirt that reads “Go vegan and die” stood amongst the line of vegans waiting to get in and chowed down on a piece of raw meat. Not only is this disgusting, it’s simply baffling. The fact that vegans bother him so much is utterly ridiculous – they aren’t doing one single thing to harm or even affect him and his life.

It makes sense for a vegan to protest meat eaters: lives are at stake! But this is just silly.

Blood dripped from the hunk of meat as a policeman tried to figure out what to do with the situation. The man wasn’t breaking any laws with his actions, so the police couldn’t really do much other than scratch his head and walk away as the baffled vegan onlookers showed their disgust on their faces.

Many celebrities have endorsed the vegan lifestyle, including Ellen Degeneres, Moby, and Natalie Portman.

Portman encourages folks to just start with one vegan meal a day, or even one a week, as a way to make an impact. If we all cut dairy and meat out of just a few meals a week, we’d be making an improvement upon the environmental repercussions, the animal abuse, and our health.

To make a difference, you don’t have to go cold turkey all at once. Just making more conscious choices with your eating habits and how they affect the world around you can make a huge difference. Who knows, maybe you’ll find you love the vegan alternatives you eat during those meals!

Nothing transpired between the policeman, the raw meat eater, and the vegan onlookers.

That’s probably for the best because this man didn’t deserve the rise he desired from the situation. I do wonder if the man got sick after feasting upon uncooked meat, though.

Live and let live, as they say!
