    Vegans are gay. If God approves of animals being eaten and eating them or
    killing them doesn’t send you to hell, then is ok.

    But if you’re one of those idiots, that worry about hurting “life” itself,
    then don’t eat plants, because plants are alive to, dummy!

    For those reasons I rather be vegetarian. #Peace

    I currently eat meat, but want to make the transition to vegetarian.
    However, I hope to transition to a vegan from there. I feel like a
    transition from meat straight to vegan would be too hard.

    thanks for a great recipe. Made this tonight and it was a big hit. Will
    make this again and again. I don’t use oil, so replaced it with veg. broth
    to do the veggies. Also, I went from meat eater to vegan in one day.
    Haven’t looked back, It can be done. Might be harder for some, but after
    about 2 wks, it was just a normal way to eat for me and my husband.

    I have been eating meat my entire life but now I feel so guilty about it
    because it just doesn’t seem right that we are still killing and eating
    animals when we don’t need to. It’s not like we live in a era where we will
    go hungry and starve without meat. Anyways, I am starting off as a
    Vegetarian first and will slowly transition to Vegan when I get used to it.
    So far it’s a real struggle because I’m the only Vegetarian in my family
    and because I’m such a picky eater and I have always hated vegetables lol.
    But amazing recipes like these are making it a little bit easier. Thanks
    for this video :)
