This German Confectioner Makes The Most Beautiful Raw Vegan Cakes Ever

We would all be happy too if your diet didn't bring about the death of another.

Wouldn't it be wonderful?

You are seriously asking me to respect your choice to unnecessarily exploit and kill animals?

hi rachel. i am a vegan and i do think humans are omnivorous, and eating meat (in the right amounts and proportions) will not harm us. i believe in discussing this with open-mind omnivores and i do not like to condemn people who don't share my personal choices. as much as i don't like other people act the other way around. i also believe that evolution brought us to a point in which we can choose what is best for the planet and we can actually choose to end the unnecessary suffering of animals. this is why i went for a vegan lifestyle.

This, very much this.

Rachel, where did you learn about human physiology? I have studied human health and physiology for years, and it is unbelievable that we're still taught in schools we are omnivores. We are also taught animal products are a normal and necessary part of our diet, which couldn't be further from the truth. Are you not aware that animal products are the leading causes for all of the most common diseases in western countries? Do you know that vegan blood fights cancer 8 times more efficiently than omnivore blood, and vegans have over 60% lower risk of getting cardiovascular diseases and diabetes? HOW do you think all that is possible if an omnivorous diet is normal for us, and a vegan diet isn't? Vegans also live 7-10 years longer than average. The fact that we've been acting like omnivores for some time now doesn't make us ones, but what it does, is kill us.

sky blue - you have described two jaws: one herbivore, one carnivore. The omnivore jaw doesn't match either of those descriptions, as you must know.

"designed for tearing meat" please go find a wild cow and have fun tearing it apart using just your teeth - you might have a dislocated jaw and one unhappy cow at the most to be honest... our jaws and not made for eating meat like other animals which is also scientifically proven :)

MOST plant-eaters have canines, but our legos have nothing to do with tearing flesh. If you had ever tried tearing raw flesh, you'd know it's practically impossible. Eating even a mildly raw steak is difficult, it's like chewing really hard gum. Our tiny canines are meant for biting/chewing plants, let's say apples for example. If your teeth were completely flat, it would be more difficult to take a bite of it. Google pictures of lion's teeth and compare them to yours, and you'll see how ridiculous the canines-argument is. Real meat-eaters catch and kill their prey without tools, and then eat the whole corpse raw. Try to do it yourself, and see how you succeed.

I wouldn't give a s**t what people eat, but when their choices cause horrible suffering and unnecessary death to billions of animals, that's when I start caring. I simply speak for those who have no voice, and if you were in their position, you would want someone to speak for you too. Wouldn't you?

Seriously? Do you raise them too? I think that's great if so. People who raise and butcher their own animals are usually more humain in butchering them and give the animals a better life will they are being raised.

I am vegan over 20 years. It works for me. Operative phrase, "For me." I have no idea why my counterparts feel the need to make it a magical diet and proselytize until no one wants to try it. It's food. I found it interesting, I learned to make a lot of different dishes that took some creativity and now it's my thing. I find my friends like my dishes because it doesn't come with a side of sermons on the evils of meat. It's just tasty dishes. I know a lot of unhealthy fat vegans as well. Fried tofu, broccoli swimming in salty sauce...it's all about choices no matter what your diet is. In NYC we have amazing kosher butchers that I refer to my omnivorous friends for good and clean cuts of grass fed meat. I hear it has a better flavor. Moderation. Try to know where you food comes from. Make good choices.

Yes, they're *my* animals. I bought them, I bred them, I feed and kill them, to eat. There's literally nothing you can say to convince me of your point of view. Nature is brutal, everything eats each other *shrug*. My animals have an awesome life and a quick death and I don't feel one ounce of guilt over it.

On second thought, who the hell buys animals to raise and butcher. The cost and care of raising them is way more expensive than just buying meat. Do you live someplace where store meat is more expensive and harder to get than buying animals to raise and butcher. Doubt it. You sound like one of those self righteous, I kill what I eat nutjobs. And I say nutjob because only a nut would be out spending money time butchering her their meat without any real necessity. It's just a self righteous ego thing. Boring.

What do you mean "your own" animals? Animals are not our property, their bodies belong to them as much as yours belongs to you. Where do you live? People in western countries eat animal products only because they taste good, not because they need to. Killing animals unnecessarily is immoral, which should be common sense.

...how many animals have you seen raise other animals just to kill them en masse?...animals that eat meat kill to survive, humans kill to make money!...end of...

I didn't mean that no one cares about veganism; just that no one had made any negative comments about these cakes being vegan (or if they did I missed it; I checked before writing that). I was just enjoying the pictures, and your post turned it into an argument that no one was even making till you brought it up. Veganism for humane reasons is admirable. I just don't like people being obnoxious about it. No one called the cakes "rabbit food."

Typical.

A lot of people seem to care, as I got many replies. And anyone with a heart should care about innocent animals, and should want to avoid causing suffering and death to them.

emphasis on babies not fully grown adults...

Well, actually, babies drinking milk doesn't really prove anything. All mammals drink milk as babies, even if they are herbivores, but as they grow up, it becomes unhealthy for them. It actually should be unhealthy for adult humans too, but our bodies got used to it. But this is actually the reason lactose intolerance exists. Yet, I agree with you: we do need lot's of things from meat. As a matter of fact, you can't really pull off a healthy vegan diet without spending large amounts of money on nutritional supplements. Most real vegans (not eating eggs or fish either in addition to meat and milk) got very sick and had to quit a vegan diet and stick to a vegetarian one instead (which I still think is unhealthy, just not as much). In fact, fish for example is one of the most important source of nutrients for the human, so not eating any meat would be quite a bad idea.

Cows make milk for their babies and they are meant only to eat plants. I don't see how that argument works at all.

I meant to say *most real vegans I knew

And I suppose you think lion moms feed their own meat to kids? Geez.

You know what I mean, there are many other mammals too who are 100% plant-eaters by nature. Once you stop breast-feeding from your mother, your body doesn't need anything "animal"-derived ever again. All nutrients absorb much better from plants, and there isn't one single nutrient we need from animal products - including B12. It is a vitamin that "lives" in the soil, and that's where all other plant-eating animals get it too. However, our soils are so deprived of B12 that even the animals people eat are now supplemented with it. If you grow organic vegetables in rich soil and don't always wash the veggies before eating, that's where you get the vitamin.

You might also want to know that animal products are the leading causes for diseases in western countries, and that vegans are the healthiest and longest living people on the planet. How is this possible if we are supposed to eat animal products?

...i just wish people would stop comparing how wild animals kill to survive to the way humans kill largely to make money...it is not comparable in any way...

When lions, tigers and sharks kill it will take, I don't know, lets say at most a day (which i highly doubt ever has happened), and while we often kill an animal quicker and less painfully (often not) that creature grow up in a hell on earth. I would much prefer being killed by a wild animal then to have grown up in such abusive conditions.

...presumably you're talking about visiting relatives!...

...not all of them...

Someone did, but I guess they deleted the comment.
