For starters: myth that going vegan will automatically make you thin. You know who's all vegan? Cows. Literally eat grass. And still fat.

Then there's the idea that you can actually BE vegan. Anyone who's harvested vegetables knows this is utterly false.

Vegetables are grown with fertilizer. And the fertilizer itself isn't always vegan. But that's not all.

If you've ever harvested a carrot, for example, you know that you're disrupting the soil to do so. In that process, you're killing insects.

And that's if you're harvesting by hand. At this point, large machines help in harvesting. And they kill small critters in the process.

I know most people have never lived on farms. But if you have, you'll know how many insects and animals for when we produce vegetables.

Same goes for meat eaters, too. There're a ton of dilemmas around meat consumption—the difference, I think, is that that's usually assumed.
