I have been reading a lot about the practice of abstaining from the use of animal products lately.
Do you think it is really changing anything?
I think so. It rejects the commodity status of animals and more and more people are beginning to realize this.

Yes I think farming animals is environmentally damaging and unsustainable.
yeah it only hurts us right?
Thats right although the German Society for Nutrition does not recommend vegan diets for children and adolescents
yeah i could imagine 
Still, well-planned vegan diets can reduce the risk of some types of chronic disease so its worth trying out.
