There are more than half a million vegans in Britain, and that number is rising everyday making a plant-based diet one of the nations fastest growing lifestyle choices. Its why this month several of the countrys biggest chain restaurants have launched or expanded vegan menus, so that those who eschew all animal products have more choice when they dine out.
Many assume that a vegan lifestyle is much healthier than being a meat eater or even than being simply vegetarian but some of the new menu items prove that vegan dishes are not always good for you.
Some of the new plant-based dishes on menus at popular high street eateries contain more than 1,000 calories, and more fat than a McDonalds Big Mac. [ ]
Zizzi has the two most calorific vegan dishes of the most popular chain restaurants that have a vegan menu and supply nutritional information. Its two new vegan pizzas the vegan pepperonata topped with peppers and chillies, and the vegan zucca topped with butternut squash, with both featuring vegan mozzarella contain more than 1,200 calories each. Thats more than half a womens daily recommended calorie allowance. They also both contain more than 4 grams of salt each which is two thirds of an adults recommended daily allowance.

Actually yes, many Vegans eat a lot of refined carbs.
Well, what meat eater would visit a vegan restaurant other than by accident?
“Have you ever seen a fat vegan?”

Who knows?
What does a vegan look like?

Bottom line: learn to cook and don’t fall for any fad diet, vegan or otherwise. Eat what you want and do not feel guilty for eating.
Genesis 18:The Three Visitors
18 The Lord appeared to Abraham near the great trees of Mamre while he was sitting at the entrance to his tent in the heat of the day. 2 Abraham looked up and saw three men standing nearby. When he saw them, he hurried from the entrance of his tent to meet them and bowed low to the ground.
3 He said, If I have found favor in your eyes, my lord,[a] do not pass your servant by. 4 Let a little water be brought, and then you may all wash your feet and rest under this tree. 5 Let me get you something to eat, so you can be refreshed and then go on your waynow that you have come to your servant.
Very well, they answered, do as you say.
6 So Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah. Quick, he said, get three seahs[b] of the finest flour and knead it and bake some bread.
7 Then he ran to the herd and selected a choice, tender calf and gave it to a servant, who hurried to prepare it. 8 He then brought some curds and milk and the calf that had been prepared, and set these before them. While they ate, he stood near them under a tree.
So someone named the “Lord” ate meat? Wow, good enough for me.
What does a vegan look like?
******************************************
Skinny. I know a lot of them, including my sister and her family.
I make a banana shake with ice, almond milk, bananas, cinnamon and a few walnuts.
Very good on a hot summer day. Tastier than ice cream.
The cinnamon and nuts are good for your blood sugar and a cup of almond milk only has 40 calories.
Another thing I like to make is fruit salad coated in greek honey yogurt. It’s usually a mix of pineapples, mandarins, strawberries, blueberries and kiwi or whatever is a good bargain.
Yet the blue whale, the largest animal the planet’s ever seen, is not.
Many, yes. They’re the ones that eat too much sugar and starch.
Lol!

Vegan Police: [still reading] On April 4th, 7:30 pm, you partook of a plate of chicken Parmesan.
[Envy gasps, then glares at Todd]
Todd Ingram: [feeble] Chicken isn't vegan?
I did, thank you.
We have no guilt being omnivores then, look how small we are in comparison.
I know a vegan...she’s in her 20s and very fat. Likely too many carbs. If she’d replace the carbs with meat, she’d be much thinner, and likely healthier, too.
Just how big is this pizza?
Yes. Beans and rice, rice and beans.
Carbs galore and a double whammy if they’re lacking healthy fats.
Vegetables are what food eats.

She is very rare, and not the norm.
It's not that vegans just stop eating meat. It's a whole life style change. Their whole life revolves around what's in their food.
Every vegan I know only eats organic, never eats process foods, no sugar, no snacks, no junk.
You can't even get a normal piece of bread at my sister's house. Her bread tastes like cardboard.
It's impossible to gain weight when you eat like that. However, if you just stop eating meat, and make up for it by eating a bunch of other junk. I'm sure you would and could get fat.
