What Would It Take For You To Go Vegan? And If You Won't, Why Won't You?

There was a rack full of various makeup products at my store that proudly labelled itself as vegan. What - and I cannot stress this enough - the FUCK?
As opposed to what? Makeup with meat in it?

Lanolin, gelatin, several colourings, keratin, lactose, beeswax, ambergris, musk....there are a lot of animal byproducts in cosmetics and "beauty" products.There was a rack full of various makeup products at my store that proudly labelled itself as vegan.

Also "vegan" products wo'n't be tested on animals, and shouldn't contain ingredients that are tested on animals.
What would it take? An allergy to meat. Sorry.
They are tested on the end user of the product. For "beauty" products that would be the species of animal known as homo sapiens.
A lot of companies test their products on animals before they let humans start to use them. I'm not sure, but I think they'll even do things like spay in their eyes or force them to eat it, to see how they react to it.
One product I was recently shocked to learn is not vegan in many cases is toilet paper, a lot of them use gelatin as a way to make them softer.
Target sells several vegan, bamboo based TPs, so we use that in our house now.

I am actually embarrassed to admit that for a long time I was pronouncing the word 'vegan' wrong. 
I thought it was pronounced VEDGE-an (like you're about to say the word vegetable). But it's VEE-gan, isn't it?
Silly me.

When I started seeing the word in print, I thought it was pronounced to rhyme with "pagan." Like someone from Las Vegas, or perhaps the star Vega.
Ever try vegan juicing? You want to loose that Scotty gut? And I mean permanently? You want to lose them cottage cheese Troi thighs? Juicing, bro, vegetable juicing.
The only way I would go completely vegan is if I had serious illness, (like severe atherosclerotic disease or cancer).
Take away my sense of smell maybe? Ya ya there's lots of tasty vegan dishes, but just about every single one of them would be better with a sprinkle of meat. For instance, I've never had a soup that tasted good (to me) without being made with some type of meat stock. And I'm not into processed flavour enhancement of veggies, or processed food in general.
