Ahimsa is a Sanskrit word that means no harm or no violence. It is the philosophy by which Gandhi led his life. In this film we journey to a farm animal sanctuary in Colorado and meet people who live by the concept of Ahimsa and see how it affects the choices they make what to eat, what to wear, how to treat all life around them: choices that we all make that affect this world in profound ways.

CORRECTION:
Meat is a perfect protein, however it is not the ONLY perfect protein. Beans and rice are also a perfect protein but with less calories and fat.
CORRECTION:
Amino acids form protein, not the other way around.
Please excuse these errors, I was speaking too fast and ended up saying a few things backwards or just messed up.

Responding to TheAmazingAthiest aka TJ’s VEGETARIANS SUCK! video. Here’s the link to the extremely flawed logic I am correcting http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUQG9PhDNnk&feature=channel_video_title The TRUTH about vegetarianism and veganism is FAR from the highly errored ,irrational and absurdly UNSCIENTIFIC philosophies TJ believes in concerning vegetarianism.

Primary cause of global warming: Meat production.

No matter HOW LARGE the chicken, pig and cow populations are they are indeed NOT doing as good as majestic wolves, bears and gorrilas. Why? Because majestic animals are EVOLVING. Domestic animals are NOT. Why? Because what is nessisary for evolution to occur? Well first they must be in the scenario they need to evolve for and the weak and frail must die off while the strong are the primary survivors. Domestic species’ instincts are also being degraded, they are being desensitized and thus animals we breed for meat would NEVER be able to survive in the wild just as our domestic pets would never be able to. Simply put majestic animals are doing MUCH better, even if their population numbers are technically much lower than animals we breed for meat. Pro-meat people trying to trash talk vegetarianism + veganism can try to use these numbers as a redherring/distraction, but once you understand the truth behind their non-sense you realize how irrational it is.
Plus animals bred for meat are bred to become FATTER, less healthy beings! Thus these bad genes are continually based on and they are LITTERALLY DEVOLVING!

The number one goal of life is actually to SURVIVE not reproduce. Why? Because you have to be able to SURVIVE up until the point that you are able to reproduce, if survival were not a species main goal, they would go extinct because each individual of that species would not be able to survive up until they were able to reproduce! It’s SURVIVAL of the fittest NOT reproduction of the fittest. Species evolve to be able to SURVIVE more effectively.

Vegetarianism is also MUCH healthier, than a diet containing meat, in EVERYWAY! Saying that you cannot get proper protein levels with a vegetarian or vegan diet is completely and totally UNTRUE! Dairy has masses of protein and beans and other such vegetables contain large amounts of protein and are low caloried with TINY amounts of fat if ANY! Most of the calories in meat are from FAT! Not to mention the hormones we inject into the animals we breed for meat that we then consume in the meat!
Meat eaters have such horrific cholestorl levels that the average adult male meat eater has a 50% chance of having a heart attack and DYING from that heart attack!!! Becoming a vegetarian reduces this risk by 36% and veganism reduces it even further!
Vegetarians and vegans are definitiely not sisses. Jack Lalane, the first ever body builder and creator of the first gym was a vegan! Mike Tyson ate meat while boxing, but after his career he became quite fat, once he became a vegan he lost all the weight and got into the best shape of his life post career, surely he is not as muscular as he used to be, but that’s because he’s no longer training to fight. MMA fighter Jake Shields is a vegan, many MMA fighters are! Athlete David Scott has won the Ironman triathalon 6 times!!! David Scott is a vegan athlete!
The issue is not about eating a form of life versus eating different forms of life. It is about eating unconcious life versus eating concious life. Plants are not concious, diary products are not conconcious, fruit is not concious, however animals ARE CONCIOUS BEINGS. They think, reason and suffer just like us! There is not a SINGLE thing we do that animals do not also do even if only on a lesser level! Vegetarianism and veganism is the choice to eat only unconcious life rather than concious life. If a person is in an accident and becomes brain dead we pull the plug on them. why? They are techcnically still physically alive, but they are no longer concious creatures. It is our conciousness that defines us.

I totally forgot to mention soy and protein shakes for vegetarians and soy based protien bars and shakes for vegan bodybuilders/weight lifters!

Help protect my family’s farm and others like it by voting YES on Ohio Issue 2!

We farmers care about our animals or we wouldn’t be farming. We don’t own or work on mega farms because we don’t believe in them. In fact, you won’t find a mega farm in Ohio – they’re all family owned. We raise our pigs in a way that makes it easier to provide them with protection and a comfortable environment in which to live. We believe that we’re the ones who know what’s best for our animals since we work with them literally every day of the year. Wouldn’t you rather have someone that committed making decision about how your food is raised than someone thousands of miles away who only wants to create a vegan society?

This isn’t my family’s farm but like them we care about our animals and love every minute of what we do.

People everywhere are making choices more connected with their values.

We are simplifying our lives, buying less and living more because we know that the Earth provides enough to satisfy everyone’s need, but not everyone’s greed.

But there is one connected choice that sometimes gets overlooked. It’s one of the most far-reaching personal, practical and ethical choices you can make. With this choice we can help…

… feed ourselves and every hungry person on the planet.
… end deforestation — replenish the deep woods of the North and save our disappearing rainforests.
… revitalize our rural landscapes and save family farms.
… stop the number one polluter of water and the number one waster of water.
… return our oceans to thriving underwater worlds teeming with life and wonder.
… make cancer and heart disease a rarity instead of a common occurrence.
… stop the unnecessary suffering of billions and billions of animals.
… and return wild lands to their rightful owners.

This powerful choice can be done by everyone every day… by you… right now.

Vegan.

Every day you are invited to make choices. Live your values. Change the world.

It’s that simple.
