Not really. You are not incorporating the fact the the production of Vegan food costs more effort. Effort by people that eat chicken. More chickens are eaten because of Vegans. The whole picture is more important than a detail. If you can save chickens by eating them you should.
Actually spurious, the effort made by chicken eating vegan food making people will still be made even if they're not making vegan food, and so they'll eat the same amount of chickens. Vegans do create a smaller chicken footprint. But it's still useless. For every chicken she doesn't eat someone else'll eat two.
what is the motivation behing being a vegan? is it health issues? I seriously doubt you can be healthier than a person who has a full, balanced diet
I wouldn't last long, I like meat. A nice turkey sandwich, roasted chicken. barbequed steak.....Yummm
if we didnt eat beef for example we would have to kill loads of cows to support the milk industry, cows are bread for milk and meat, and farmers would go bust if they didnt have they're cattle to support them.
Vegan means nothing from an animal what-so-ever right? No milk, no eggs, no cheese, no leather, etc. What about food that was grown using the manure of animals? Can you have pets?
Seconded, I'd also like to know that. What's the motivation? Being a herbivore isn't really healthy for an omnivore. I myself don't eat any meat, but that's because I don't like it. I still love milk and cream and eggs.
I've known a couple "freegans"--vegans who would eat meat if it came out of a dumpster or was left on someone's plate in the food court--since wasting the food was more immoral than raising animals inhumanely. I guess they would eat roadkill as well.
