2. Q.1 Are you a Vegan?
I asked the audience if any of
them are vegans. I got 36
replies and only one of them
were a vegan. That’s one in
thirty-six people that is a vegan.
I put my questioner on my
personal Facebook as well as
vegan pages.
I think this shows that people
do struggle with being a vegan
and that’s why the number of
people who are a vegan is very
low.
3. Q.2 Can you be a vegan?
I asked the audience if they
could be a vegan, I got 35
responds. 8 people said yes
they could be and 27 said they
couldn't’t be.
This was surprising, if they
could be a vegan, why aren't
they? What's stopping them
and why are the numbers to
being a vegan on Q.1 were so
low?
I think this backs up my point
that people struggle to be a
vegan.
4. Q.3 Do you think Vegan diets
are healthy?
I asked the audience if they think
vegan diets are healthy, I got 36
responds. 11 people said yes, and
25 said no.
If 11 people think it’s healthy,
that’s more than the number of
people that said they could be a
vegan. This is also making me
think, if people could be a vegan
and they think the diet is healthy,
why aren't they a vegan?
Once again, this backs up my point
that people are struggling with
turning into a vegan.
5. Q.4Willyoustrugglegivingmeatup andlivingon
noneanimalrelatedfood/products?
I asked the audience if they will struggle
giving meat up and living on none
animal related food/products. 32
people said yes they would struggle and
4 people said they wouldn't’t struggle.
So 7 people said they could be a vegan,
11 said they think a vegan diet is
healthy and only 4 people said that
wouldn’t struggle to give up animal
related food and products.
From my questioner, I can tell that
people do struggle with giving up meat
and animal related products. I don’t
think people believe in themselves that
they are strong enough to live without
animal related foods and products.
7. Wikipedia
This is on the Wikipedia page, it talks about how vegans don’t eat anything related to animals. It tells
you the different types of vegans you can get, an average vegan who wont eat meat but may have
animal related products such as eggs. The other type of vegan you can get is strict vegan and that is
where they wont eat meat and they wont have anything to do with animal related products. Another
type is ethical vegan and that is where they wont eat any animal related substances and wont use
any animal related products such as clothing etc… another type is the environmental veganism where
they don’t eat any animal related food, use any animal related products or even feed the harvesting
we create to feed the animals. They think in a very different way, they don’t want us to feed the
animals so therefor in the long run, they will be extinct and no one will be able to eat meat then.

8. Wikipedia
I believe this site is trusted. Members of the public can edit things on
Wikipedia but Wikipedia editors need to approve of it before it goes
up on the website. So therefor I don’t think the article I read is wrong
or not to be trusted. I think it’s very informative as well, I was not
aware that there was different types of vegans.
Quotes: Dietary vegans (or strict vegetarians) refrain from consuming
animal products, not only meat but also eggs, dairy products and other
animal-derived substances.

9. Wikipedia / Future Research
Future Research:
I would like to dig deep into veganism. I would like to know what's the worst
thing people find about meat eaters. I would like to know what the meat
industry actually think about themselves and their actions. I would also like to
know what some celebrities think about this issue. I would also like to research
more into the amount of animals that each country kills a year for food.
11. Jamie Oliver
I believe this website is trusted. Jamie Oliver is a well known chef in England
and Worldwide, his recipes are used worldwide and he knows what he is
talking about. That is his official. It’s all written in first person which means he
has took the time to sit and explain it all to his audience and other people who
are curious about vegans.
12. Jamie Oliver
This is a few paragraphs from one of Jamie Oliver's articles considering vegan diets and
how they benefit you. It’s summarizing the benefits of the vegans diets right there, it’s
telling you that vegans have hardly any saturated fats I their diets which then means
they have a lower risk of having a heart disease. Saturated fats comes from dairy
products and meats, obviously vegans exclude those foods from their diets. Vegans still
get the right amount of nutrition's that they require to maintain a healthy life and a
healthy body.
Quotes: “You see, a diet without any meat or dairy products is likely to contain a lot less
saturated fat, which is related to increased cholesterol levels and increased risk of heart
disease.”
Future Research:
This is so interesting. I will go on to see other chefs who believe in veganism and see
what they have to say about it. I will see if it’s similar to see what Jamie said. I will also
go to look at his some of his vegan diets and recipes and see if they contain enough
nutrition.
13. Youtube / Angelina Jolie
Angelina Jolie said that her vegan diet nearly killed because she wasn’t getting enough nutrition. At
this point all the vegan bloggers jumped at their chance to defend their beliefs. One of them being a
youtuber called ‘Rawsomehealthy’. She went onto explain that your body only requires you to have
5% protein daily. She then explained that if you had a frit, green vegetable and seeds diets, you’d get
between 5-7% of protein which is more than enough. She then went into more detail about how if
you research the right food, you’d have a healthy vegan diet that would allow you to get the right
amount of nutrition.
Rawsome talk about how vegans life are healthy for you, they research their information and work as
a team to encourage veganism. I also trust these people, all their information comes with back up
facts and resources and they encourage what they are which is great.

Future research:
I will go on to look if I can find Angelina Jolie diet plan, I will try to see why she
lost so much weight. I will go on to search what a healthy vegan diet looks like
and I will compare it and see for myself if it is really healthy or not. I will also
go onto see other celebrities who are vegans and who have not had a problem
with being a vegan. I will see what other vegan celebrities struggled with and
what they found good about being a vegan.

“ the next issue that
many people are afraid
of is B12, they claim that
plants don't have B12
and thats true, they
don't. However,
ironically the majority of
meat eaters suffer of
B12 sufficiency ”
16. Blog / Shannon Experience
Quotes: “He shared stories about his visits
to the slaughterhouse and how all of it
works. His stories made my bones quiver
and completely freaked me out. Much of
my time spent in that class was with my
hands covering my eyes, trying to spare my
brain from any more torturous images or
videos.”

17. Blog / Shannon Experience
Shannon goes onto explain her own experience with
turning into a vegan. She says how she actually
studied Animal Ethics in University and that’s how
passionate she was towards the subject. Even
though she doesn’t provide any helpful research,
she talks about how you cant change over night. It
takes time, research and most of all patience. She
gives 6 tips on how to become a vegan and maintain
it, those tips were really good and she seems to
have done her research. She explains how she
measures her nutrients and what she eats to get the
protein and the nutrition she needs to maintain a
healthy vegan lifestyle. Comparing her to Angelina
Jolie seems like a massive difference. Angelina Jolie
has all the money and yet she couldn't’t find herself
a healthy vegan life style, I don’t think she was
committed properly. Whereas, Shannon knew
exactly what she had to do and what she needed to
do. She researched it and got straight into it.
I trust everything she says, it’s so similar to what
Rawsome channel on YouTube said.
18. Blog / Shannon Experience
Future Research:
This makes me think, if she managed to
change over night, why cant other people do
it? I think this will lead me into reading other
people’s stories of how their transform
happened and maybe see what's similar in the
different stories.
I think I will also go onto looking at the movie
she spoke about that is called ‘Vegucated’. I
would like to watch it and see why she
struggled to watch it.
I will go on to look at clothes and makeup
company that doesn’t involve animal testing to
see what is the difference between them and
companies that do use animal testing.

20. The Documentary/ Vegucated
This documentary is so heartbreaking. It’s real
footage of what happens inside the
slaughterhouse, they show you what happens,
they show you vegans reaction to it as well as the
3 meat eaters. The film is about a challenge, they
sent 3 people who are normal meat eaters to the
slaughterhouse and their challenge was to be
vegan for 6 weeks.
They look for food that has more nutrition and
less calories. They try to live as a vegan and half
way through their vegan weeks, they experience
something that resulted them to stay a vegan for
the rest of their life. They saw the
slaughterhouse, they saw how all the meat was
processed and they saw how it all works. The
people who thought 6 weeks of being a vegan
was too hard are now a full time vegan.
21. The Documentary/ Vegucated
Future Research:
I will go on to see if there are anymore
documentaries about veganism and
slaughterhouses. I would like to see
what the slaughterhouse is really like
and how do the people inside of the
slaughterhouse feel? I will also search
for countries which may have laws
against slaughterhouses.
I will go on to research more about the
three people that were in the movie, I
will see what they are like now, if they
prefer it to eating meat and what they
felt like while filming the documentary.

23. Book / Jonathan Safran Foer's
Eating Animals.
The book talks about different topics
regarding veganism and meat industry. It
speaks about factory farming and the
factory farmer's perspective, diseases, the
environment and Jonathan's own thoughts
regarding the topic and what happens in the
meat industry.
The book describes everything in detail,
Jonathan has seen everything happen in
front of his eyes. He has seen the factory
farming and spoke to the farmer to see what
he thinks about his actions and his factory.
The book teaches you all the bad things that
happen due to the meat industry and meat
eaters.
24. Book / Jonathan Safran Foer's
Eating Animals.
Future Research:
I would go on to look at other books
that are about veganism and meat
industry. I would also research more
into Jonathan's life, see why he is a
vegan and why he wrote a book about
it.
I would go on to see if I can find
interviews with Jonathan to see what
his own personal opinion is regarding
this topic. I will see what inspired him
to turn into a vegan.
I would also research more into the
factory farming and see how it harms
the enrionment.

Mike talks about how he use to be on
drugs and how he wanted to make a
difference to himself and his family.
So he became a vegan. He was on
cocaine and he ended up getting
arthritis but becoming a vegan
changed all that. He is no longer on
drugs and his arthritis has become a
lot better and he isn’t in as much
pain. He explains how grateful he is
for the change he made to his life and
how being a vegan has helped him be
drug-free and he hasn’t got into
trouble or been arrested for over four
years now.
27. Celebrity / Mike Tyson
Future Research:
I will go into researching more
about celebrities who are vegan,
why they are vegan and if they
prefer it to being a meat eater. I
will then look at what Mike is like
now, how his family feels and if he
has stayed out of trouble. I will
research more into his life story,
see what he was like before and
what he is like now. I will also look
into what's the common reasons
that people turn into vegans.

29. Celebrity / Ellen DeGeneres
Ellen goes onto to talk about how she
changed and why she changed. She first
became a vegetarian for 8 months then
went back to being a meat eater. Then not
long after she became a vegan and has
been for over two years now. This was all
because she read a book which was all
about factory farming then she forced
herself to watch a documentary called
earthlings which showed you what
happened inside of factory and dairy
farms. She decided she couldn’t
participate in killing over 50 billion animals
a year to help feed everyone. She went
vegan because she loves animal and she
had to see the harsh reality of how
animals were treated in those farms.
30. Celebrity / Ellen DeGeneres
Future Research:
I would like to research more into Ellen's
fan base. See how, if she has, inspired her
fans to turn into vegans. I will try to
research into what products she buys, for
example, why she buys her furniture and
her clothes from. Then I will research
more into that company and see how they
make their products suitable for vegans.
I will try to find out who in her family is
vegan, I will try to find out why and how
she was influenced to be a vegan. I would
like to know how long she has been a
vegan for.
