My husband went vegan for many years. He stopped after he got cancer.
Wahhhh ???
It werkd fer Noah.....
Didn’t read the article but, “Vegans suffer from higher rates of cancer; are twice as likely to be plagued with..” let me guess,”much higher rates of demanding how others live.”
I wish more people would become vegan, my grocery bill is too much.
self ping
Ask any good conservative dentist about the severe dental problems vegans have.
Ask any good conservative FP or IM about the bad health their vegan patients have.
Ask any good conservative OB about the severe problems pregnant vegans have from still births, to complicated births to severely underweight babies.
Ask any good conservative Ped about the bad health that vegan babies have if they survive their mother’s pregnancy and delivery.

I brought this up in an earlier thread on grass eaters but here is some data to support the idea that meat is good.
Going “vegan” is mental disorder being expressed as a political statement...or you simply are too arrogant or stupid to know better..
Nobody in their right mind can believe a diet of zero animal products can possibly be healthy for the human body...
I do occasionally shop at Whole Foods. Candied pecans, fresh ground peanut butter, yummy salad bar etc. But the people watching can be amazing, especially when I go after 9 am Mass. What is sad though are families where they are checking out vegan and they have kids. The kids look weak and sad. I want to slap those parents.
My nephew took an in depth college nutrition course where he learned that we MUST have the proteins that animal products provide; there is no other source. He said that vegans are basically lying to us about their lifestyle.
My next door neighbors went vegan, and I enjoy grilling meat upwind from them.
As with many unusual diets, often some form of vegetarianism will work for some people, at least some of the time, often to alleviate an underlying condition, or if they have some other, unrelated health stress, like using recreational drugs.
1) Ovo vegetarianism includes eggs but not dairy products.
2) Lacto vegetarianism includes dairy products but not eggs.
3) Ovo-lacto vegetarianism (or lacto-ovo vegetarianism) includes animal/dairy products such as eggs, milk, and honey.
4) Veganism excludes all animal flesh and products, such as milk, honey, and eggs, as well as items refined or manufactured through any such product, such as bone-char refined white sugar or animal-tested baking soda.
5) Raw veganism includes only fresh and uncooked fruit, nuts, seeds, and vegetables. Vegetables can only be cooked up to a certain temperature.
6) Fruitarianism permits only fruit, nuts, seeds, and other plant matter that can be gathered without harming the plant.
7) Sattvic diet (also known as yogic diet), a plant based diet which may also include dairy (not eggs) and honey, but excludes anything from the onion or leek family, red lentils, durian fruit, mushrooms, blue cheeses, fermented foods or sauces, alcoholic drinks and often also excludes coffee, black or green tea, chocolate, nutmeg or any other type of stimulant such as excess sharp spices.
8) Buddhist vegetarianism. Different Buddhist traditions have differing teachings on diet, which may also vary for ordained monks and nuns compared to others. Many interpret the precept ‘not to kill’ to require abstinence from meat, but not all. In Taiwan, su vegetarianism excludes not only all animal products but also vegetables in the allium family (which have the characteristic aroma of onion and garlic): onion, garlic, scallions, leeks, chives, or shallots.
9) Jain vegetarianism includes dairy but excludes eggs and honey, as well as root vegetables.
10) Macrobiotic diets consist mostly of whole grains and beans.
Different forms of these have their own drawbacks, some of them marked. For example, it was recently determined that raw food only delivers a fraction of the nutritional value of cooked food, meaning that many calorie tables are incorrect. It also means that people who eat raw food diets, vegetarian or not, frequently suffer from malnutrition.
There are still a lot of unanswered questions relating to food, nutrition, and what should be included or excluded from a healthy diet.
What this thread needs is more BACON! :)
Call Any Vegetable
Call any vegetable; call it by name
Call one today; when you get off the train
Call any vegetable; and the chances are good
That the vegetable will respond to you
(Some people don’t go for prunes... I don’t know,
I’ve always found that if they...)
Call any vegetable; Pick up your phone
Think of a vegetable, lonely at home
Call any vegetable; and the chances are good
That the vegetable will respond to you
Rutabaga, rutabaga, rutabaga, rutabay-y-y-y-y...
(A prune isn’t really a vegetable... CABBAGE is a vegatable..)
No one will know if you don’t want to let them know
No one will know ‘less it’s you that might tell them so
Call and they’ll come to you
Smiling and covered with dew
Vegetables dream, vegetables dream
Vegetables dream, of responding to you
Standing there shiny and proud by your side
Holding your joint while the neighbors decide
Why is a vegetable something to hide/
(A lot of people don’t bother about their friends in the vegetable kingdom.
They think: Oh, ah, what can I say? What can a person like myself say
to a vegetable? But the answer is simple, my friends: Just call, and tell
them how you feel about muffins...pumpkins...wax paper... Caledonia,
Mahoganies, elbows... green things in general... and soon, a new rapport...
You and your new little green and yellow buddies, grooving together...
Oh, no! Maintaining your cool together! Worshipping together in the
Church of your choice... (only in America...)
Call any vegetable; call it by name
You gotta call one today
When you get off the train
Call any vegetable,
And the chances are good
WOW! That the vegetable will respond to you
(Oh, no! Can you see them responding? That pumpkin is breathing hard...
h-h-h-h-h-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-HHHHHHHHHHHH!! (What a pumpkin...))”
The mental problems started before they went vegan.
It is obvious that it is dangerous to be vegan. Look at Linda McCartney. She at the most “healthy” diet on the planet and she still got cancer and died young.
File Under, “Duh.”
