1. Are you a
vegan... and if you are, for about how long?
Do you also abstain from using fur and leather? |
Yes
No
For about how long?
I
abstain from
using products derived from animals including fur & leather.
|
|
| 2. At least
one friend or family member is a vegan. |
Agree
Disagree |
|
|
3.
Not eating broadly-balanced meals can have consequences. As a
consequence of being a vegan, I often feel: |
Tired
Weak
Sickly
Irritable
I
feel better than carnivorous people. |
|
|
4. Vitamin B12 has been shown to reduce
depression and unhappiness. Vitamin B12 is found in animal meat &
organs such as beef liver. The lack of vitamin B12 in vegan diets
may exlain why so many vegans are angry and displeased with life. |
Agree
Disagree |
|

5. Most
higher-order vertebrates, excluding some monkey species, are carnivorous --
that is, they are natural meat
eaters. |
I knew
that
I didn't know that. |

6. If a
living organism is deprived of a food which it naturally needs to
function well, it will likely become
irritable over time. |

Please evaluate your answer to the
following question
in light of this person's lecture.
Question: Do you think
perhaps a reason that some people appear to be irritable and nasty these days is that they
are deprived of something they naturally crave... such as fatty foods, meats, or breads? |
Yes
No
Well, I hate to admit it,
but that does make some sense. |
|
8.
The reasons that I am a vegan include: |
Eating
animals is disgusting.
Being
a vegan allows me to stay slim.
Meat
products are unhealthy.
It
is really, really cool.
Being
a vegan gives me more energy. |
|
|
9.
People admire me because I am a vegan. |
Agree
Disagree
I
have not noticed either way. |
|
|
10. Professional
football, basketball, and baseball players would not develop as muscular and strong if they were vegetarians. |
Agree
Disagree |
|
|
11. Often when people are suffering from a serious illness, one of
the first signs that they have entered a recovery phase is when they
regain their appetite and ask for food. This implies that satisfying
the body's natural desire to eat a variety of good-tasting foods is
healthy. |
That
makes sense.
I
disagree with that statement. |
|
| 12. I have
friends who eat all kinds of foods, including meat, chicken and fish, and are happier than
my vegan friends. |
Agree
Disagree
Like, ya, I didn't realize that. |
|
| 13. I am a
vegetarian because: |
I don't want the enjoyment of
eating good foods.
I'm not worthy of enjoying good foods.
I don't want to kill animals just to eat.
My
self-esteem is very low.
I'm making a political statement. |
|
|
14. People who deny
themselves all the foods they want make themselves frustrated and
unhappy. |
Of
course this is true.
I
disagree with this statement. |
|
|
15. I enjoy the extra attention that I receive because I am a
vegan. |
Of
course I enjoy the extra attention.
No,
I do not.
No.
In fact I am secretive about being a vegan.
I
do, but I won't admit it. |
