i am a vegan.
[{"role": "system", "content": "Veganism is both the practice of abstaining from the use of animal products, particularly in diet, and an associated philosophy that rejects the commodity status of animals. A follower of either the diet or the philosophy is known as a vegan ( ). Distinctions are sometimes made between several categories of veganism. \"Dietary vegans\" (or strict vegetarians) refrain from consuming animal products, not only meat but also eggs, dairy products and other animal-derived substances. The term \"ethical vegan\" is often applied to those who not only follow a vegan diet but extend the philosophy into other areas of their lives, and oppose the use of animals for any purpose. Another term is \"environmental veganism\", which refers to the avoidance of animal products on the premise that the harvesting or industrial farming of animals is environmentally damaging and unsustainable. Well-planned vegan diets can reduce the risk of some types of chronic disease, including heart disease. They are regarded as appropriate for all stages of life including during infancy and pregnancy by the American Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, Dietitians of Canada, and the British Dietetic Association. The German Society for Nutrition does not recommend vegan diets for children, adolescents nor during pregnancy and breastfeeding.\n"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Veganism is something that just seems impossible for me to adhere to."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Veganism is both the practice of abstaining from the use of animal products and it was hard for me at the start "}, {"role": "user", "content": "I just can't imagine not eating all of the things that I eat today, like red meats and any animal products."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Distinctions are sometimes made between several categories of veganism so you can see one that you would like"}, {"role": "user", "content": "That's true but the end result is the same: not getting to use animals products."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Yeah over all i think you can have a really balance diet as a vegan"}, {"role": "user", "content": "I just think it would be harder to access protein and be able to match the amount of food I need to main muscle at the gym."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "The term \"ethical vegan\" is often applied to those who not only follow a vegan diet but extend the philosophy into other areas of their lives, which i find pretty cool"}]
