Okay:

Are you a Vegan or Vegetarian yourself?

Well, here's my story. When I was born, my whole family was vegetarian. However, I got diagnosed with allergies, so I had to eat meat to get protein. And my mom starting eating it too. I lost the majority of those allergies, but I was so used to eating meat that I just kept doing it, even though I loved animals. But one morning in Summer 2009 (yes, I remember times for these things), I decided that it was time to take a stand for what I believe in my not eating meat. Around January 2010, my sister became a full vegan, which inspired to me to eat less eggs (I couldn't eat milk because of my allergy). Then in Fall 2010, I finally made the decision to become 100% vegan.
Why are you so passionate about Vegan diets?

Becoming vegetarian (and later a vegan) opened up my eyes to a whole new world. I realized that fruits, veggies, and soy weren't all vegans could eat. My favorite desserts can be made vegan. I also found out that a vegan diet is much more healthy, as long as you properly plan it. Vegans have a very low rate of heart disease, vegetarians have a little bit higher, and meat eaters have a surprisingly higher rate. If you poorly plan the diet you can lose valuable protein, iron, and Vitamin B12, but if you get those nutrients right a vegan diet is much more healthy.

How about you give us a rarely-known fact about Vegan diets?

A far too rarely known fact about vegan diets is that we can actually eat cake, muffins, donuts, etc. There are loads of substitutes for milk and eggs. For milk you can use Soy Milk or Rice Milk. It doesn't taste very different from cow's milk. For eggs you can use milled flax and water. They work great in cooking, and create good desserts. And also if you crave some ice cream try Rice Dream's Dairy Free Desserts.
What do you have to say about the haters?

I don't really come across a lot of people who truly HATE vegans/vegetarians, but I do come across loads and loads of criticism about it. People often try and claim that vegans are malnourished, and need meat to gain enough weight to survive. I've already covered health issues, so I won't go into another rant about that. Also people often claim it's just the cycle of life that animals eat other animals. That is true, but a lion can't wake up and decide to stop eating animals. He/she has to do it because he/she has no option. Humans, however, have control over what they eat. I also hear that vegetarians aren't actually saving animals because the animal is already dead. However we ARE actually helping in the long run. The less meat people buy, the less animals will be killed for it. It's a form of protest. I've also heard that vegans farts smell worst, which is the biggest load of crud I've ever heard.
Anything else?
No, I think I have it covered. All I have to say is I encourage you to go vegan. It's a change for the better. I don't want to force you, but I do want to encourage you. If you are considering doing it than good luck. 

There's my interview.

Thanks!

To resolve the whole "plants are living" thing, why don't you just point out that you only don't eat sentient beings?

I thought wiimaster already pointed that out...

Except for hamburgers. And sometimes chicken, though not as much

I don't consider someone a vegetarian until they are completely vegetarian.

But you would have to be called Sentientarian, which sounds lousy.

Vegetarian comes from "vegetable", oh smart one.

I couldn't live your lifestyle. I like mah meats ^^

But seriously, you need the protein and wholesome goodness meat offers. Leaves aren't gonna keep you alive. Plus, the animal's already dead, so you may as well put it's carcass to good use.    NOMNOM

If vegetarians only eat vegetables, what do humanitarians eat?

Didn't I already clear up the "meat is healthy" and "the animal's already dead" stuff already?

Read that.

I I Vegeterian!! Mwahhaha Plants Will Take Over The World Xd

Meh... hope this won't turn into a flame war. I like debating about controversial topics.

I sometimes wish i was vegetarian but then I run to the kitchen to eat some turkey :T I LOVE meat, I couldn't stop eating it if I ever tried. I love cracking the bones of the chicken with my teeth, I love ripping apart the meat, it's just so awesome c:

I'm not too much for pork but I can neveeeer resist some good lamb gyros
