8. Myths
• “don’t we need to drink milk for strong
bones?” (34)
• “Don’t I need meat to build muscle when I
exercise?” (53)
• “Animals Can’t feel pain… can they?” (66)
• “Don’t you need meat to be healthy?” (19)
• “But we are Omnivores, aren’t we?”(10)
http://www.veganuary.com/myths/

9. Myth 66 ‘Animals can’t feel pain can
they’?
• ‘The clearest example is that many
animals demonstrate typical pain
behaviour, such as moaning, yelping,
writhing, seeking to avoid the source
of pain, etc. Just as we may infer that a
fellow human being is in pain if they
exhibit this kind of behaviour, we may
infer that an animal is in pain if they
exhibit such behaviour. Furthermore,
there is physiological evidence in
support of this claim: many animals
have nervous systems very similar to
our own, and their bodies react much
like our own would when harm is
inflicted.’
Summary: This myth is untrue
and it proven due to the
information that is provided.
The information states that
animals have feelings as they
resemble certain actions in
which humans do when the
feel pain or emotion. This is
then gone into further detail
of how the actions react
similar to us humans &
answer the question for the
myth.

10. Myth 10 ‘But we’re omnivores, aren’t
we?’
• ‘Just because we can eat meat,
doesn’t mean that we’re
supposed to. When you look
more closely at our anatomy
and biology and compare it to
that of obligate omnivores
you’ll notice some very
obvious differences. Obligate
omnivores are designed to kill,
rip apart and digest raw flesh
using only their teeth, and
they’re very good at it. Not
only are humans physically
incapable of doing this, but it
would also make us extremely
ill in the process. By
comparison, we thrive on a
plant-based diet including a
mix of fruits, vegetables, nuts,
legumes and whole grains. We
are not obligate omnivores so
we don’t need to eat animals.’
Summary: This myth is stating how
we are technically omnivores, but we
were originally designed to be living
with a plant based diet. This is due to
the knowledge of Omnivores &
Carnivores are usually designed to
kill, rip apart & digest raw flesh only
using teeth, which we physically can’t
do, & in the process would make us
ill. I think that this myth would be
quite useful in some circumstances as
it is proving that we humans don’t
necessarily need to eat meat to
survive, due to getting what we need
from healthier foods such as plants,
oats and vegetables etc.

11. Environment
• Summary: Vegan diets can help with the
environment from different ways. ‘A
third’ of the land which is needed for
conventional Western diets is needed for
a varied vegan diet. This statement
shows that a vegan diet doesn’t require
as much land to produce. ‘3.5 billion
humans could live off the food currently
fed to livestock’ This statement is
showing the facts the from the amount
of food that we use for livestock is so
much, we could actually feed 3.5 billion
humans from the food. The article to the
right states multiple facts & interesting
information on the matter, ranging from
what problems we are facing, population
matters & facts about the FAO’s facts
about population and
undernourishment.

http://www.peta.org.uk/blog/inside-
the-worlds-first-all-vegan-football-club/
Summary: The Forest Green Rovers, a football club,
became the world’s first all – vegan club. They
changed their ways & when they was distributing
vegan & vegetarian foods out to the fans etc, the
fans said they could hardly tell the difference. They
said it was just as nice as regular meat. Since the
club are second on the national league, this helps
create more of a profile with popularity. There are
discussions that vegan elite athletes have a huge
advantage as it builds muscle and helps being fit
with consuming large amounts of fat.

Campaign
• Summary: Vegan organisations
always have campaigns against
animal cruelty & usage. This article
is talking about how India have
reversed its ban on jallikattu and

This can consist of different things
where the bulls get hurt or can
even die, from things like being
stabbed, have alcohol or chilli’s
rubbed into their eyes, jumped on,
dragged along the ground etc. Peta
India reported a document on all
of this, and Peta UK have been in
