“Plants are alive and have feelings, so why do you eat them?”

“Plants are alive and have feelings, so why do you eat them?”

“Plants are alive and have feelings, so why do you eat them?” It’s a question that vegans often hear. Meat eaters often accuse vegans of being hypocritical for consuming plants, arguing that plants are living organisms that have feelings and that it is also wrong to harm or kill them for food. However, this argument misunderstands the ethical considerations that inspire the vegan lifestyle.

Vegan guide to Seychelles: Eden without forbidden fruit

Vegan guide to Seychelles: Eden without forbidden fruit

About 2 o’clock after midnight, the stewardess on the airplane woke me up. Is the airplane on fire? Has the engine stopped working? Are we being kidnapped? What is it? With a warm smile, she said, ”Excuse me, Madam, here is your breakfast!” Half dreaming, I was looking at my vegan breakfast in front of me: fruits, burgers, beans in chili sauce, a pastry, and margarine. Okay. I really like beans in chili sauce, but not at 2 o’clock in the morning! I’d rather sleep at that time.

Pelion – where Gods spent their holidays

Pelion – where Gods spent their holidays

We didn’t have to choose. Pelion is a place where we have found everything: pine-tree forests with waterfalls and water springs, long sandy beaches, villages with traditional architecture and beautiful squares in shade of thousand years old plane trees. Pelion is rich in myths and history, so this is the place where gods of Olympus resided in the summer and Jason and the Argonauts went in search of the Golden Fleece.

Spetses: car-free island with giant trucks

Many would agree that Spetses is one of the most wonderful islands in Greece, known for its lush landscapes, traditional architecture, turquoise waters, legendary history, fancy prices, and terrible noises. Actually, car traffic is forbidden on the island, but it seems that motorcycles are not counted. There are more motorcycles in the streets than mosquitos. The only difference is that mosquitos don’t make such a terrible noise.

Bali: The island without sea

Bali is one of the most attractive islands in the world, especially if the airline tickets are down 40 percent in the middle of the tourist season. Bali is an exotic, adventurous and romantic place with a special energy that radiates from the people, fruits, and the ocean. Such is Bali that it is a perfect place to go for your wedding or honeymoon. We went to Bali with the kids.

Nafplion – a town with romantic mood

Nafplion – a town with romantic mood

Once upon a time, Napflion was the capital city of Greece, but today it is a favorite one-day destination for tourists coming from nearby Athens. This town looks a bit different from other seaside Greek towns because of its significant Venetian influence. Here, the Greek tradition is spiced with Venetian charm.

Meteora – halfway to heaven

Meteora – halfway to heaven

How did they do it? This is the first thing most people ask when seeing Meteora. I still haven’t figured out how these monasteries were built on top of these cliffs. It is truly mystical. This is one of those places where you and your kids have something in common because you both start believing in unbelievable stories. There are many myths and legends related to Meteora. According to one of them, the founder of the first monastery did not come up alone but was brought up by an eagle.
