Why We Must Be Vegans

I am a vegetarian what are some reasons why i should become a vegan?

I would like to be a vegan but i don’t understand why you can’t eat eggs and milk or any animal product. I know there must be a good reason but i don’t see how eating free range animal produce that doesn’t kill the animal e.g. milk, eggs, cheese… would be considered bad. I am a veggie because i hate how people kill animals for their own selfish needs when we don’t rely on meat anymore. Also do vitamin tablets contain animal produce? I have stopped using them and if i can’t use them then won’t i get deficient in vitamins if i become vegan? I am 14 by the way
In reply to the first answer i am not trying to follow other people i merely want to know other peoples opinions so that i can make a proper decision!

I’m vegan basically because cruelty isn’t confined to the meat industry, and the meat and dairy/egg industries are intertwined. (When the laying chickens and dairy cows get too old, they’re usually sent for slaughter, and the male calves (you have to get the cows pregnant for them to produce milk so of course you’ll end up with guys) are either killed for low grade meat (as I understand it dairy cattle breeds don’t have as good meat) or sometimes sent to veal farms.)
Vitamins are really tricky, because you really can’t tell where half the ingredients come from. I usually google any ingredients on the bottle that I’m not sure of, like “is so-and-so vegan” and you can almost always get something.
Definitely do your research on nutrition, B12 (supplements/nutritional yeast), calcium (fortified OJ and vitamin), zinc, iodine (if you don’t use iodized salt), and maybe iron (I’m assuming you have your period). For the first couple days just keep track of what you’re eating and watch the vitamins I mentioned, look at the nutrition labels and keep track until you get the hang of things.
Best of luck

wtf, she asked a simple question, and if you aren’t even going to bother to answer it I would prefer you not be an asshole too while you’re giving your pointless answer.
Peanuts are not the only other option for soy. (I’m assuming you are referring to the protein in soy.)
Products such as soymilk and tofu (basically curdled soymilk) are not natural, but they’re no more unnatural than cheese (basically curdled milk) and hamburgers are, and I daresay you’ve had those.
And actually the farming of soy/peanuts (? I still don’t know why you put peanuts) wouldn’t fail, 10-16 pounds of veggies are used for every pound of beef, so actually we would be being more efficient with grain farming and production.
And the whole world is never going to go vegan, so your points even if they were concrete are totally irrelevant.
You’re not getting thumbs down because you’re an omnivore, you’re getting thumbs down because you’re an idiot.
