PETA — Being Vegan Is Good Sh*t By Samy

Forget the taboo about poo—let’s focus on the (fecal) matter at hand. Research shows that eating whole and healthy vegan foods is a gift for your gut, curbs constipation, and keeps toilet time regular. Animal-derived foods, on the other hand, lack the fiber bodies need for optimal digestion. Research shows that only 5% of Americans are getting enough fiber daily—an issue nutritionists call the “fiber gap.”

It’s Not Just a Pain in the Butt
Eating meat and other animal-based foods doesn’t just clog the pipes—it can also cause a variety of other health woes, including obesity and high cholesterol. The World Health Organization defines processed meat as “carcinogenic to humans” and warns that consuming red and processed meats ups your risk of colorectal cancer, while a review of 49 studies involving three million people found that animal-free eating safeguards against all digestive system cancers, including colorectal cancer. Research has also shown that vegans enjoy a lower risk of heart disease, lower cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure, and lower overall cancer rates.

Flush Out the Cruelty and Embrace Compassion
From gentle cows who form lifelong friendships to mother hens who teach calls to their chicks before they hatch, every animal is someone. In the meat, egg, and dairy industries, these sensitive, feeling animals endure a lifetime of suffering. On filthy farms—yes, even misleadingly labeled “cage free” facilities—animals often can’t bask in the sun, root in the soil, or even breathe fresh air. At slaughterhouses, many animals’ throats are slit while they’re still conscious.

The bottom line: No one wants to be exploited and killed for their milk, eggs, or flesh.

So don’t just s*it there—poo something about it!
By going vegan, you can improve your overall health, spare nearly 200 animals every year, and help protect the planet. There’s no time to waste—listen to your gut, save your butt, and go vegan today.
