Full title: The seemingly healthy dishes on new vegan menus at high street restaurants that contain a THOUSAND calories (and more fat than a BIG MAC)

Chow down and bulk up, vegans.

The concept of dietary calories is ridiculous nonsense. Are there people who really still believe that crap? Next theyll tell us that the food contains at least five times the daily recommended amount of phlogistan.

Teeth prove that humans are omnivores. Vegan diets are harmful.

In my experience British food tastes like garbage. I can only imagine how bad vegan British food tastes.

I'm diabetic and I thought that going to Jamba Juice would be "healthy", so I ordered some generic drink that was on the menu.

Good Lord, I found out that my "healthy" drink had 2000 calories.

I've stayed far away from that place, since.

Vegans I see are gaunt or obese.

How can idiots fall for the “war on calories”? What, they think caloric intake isn’t what keeps them alive?
A thousand calories is only about half what most people NEED in a day.

I notice that meat restaurants have “vegetarian” choices (salads, peanut butter sandwiches), but vegetarian restaurants never have meat choices for us meat eaters. Seems the meat restaurants are doing all the heavy lifting in the choice department, if you ask me.

Here’s what I would avoid, the stuffed red pepper which somehow has 49 g of sugar! And I’m not even diabetic.
It must be stuffed with corn syrup and ice cream...
but the main problem might be the portions are way over the top. Typical.

Vegan’s don’t give a crap about calories.
Have you ever seen a fat vegan?

Cows are vegan to fatten them up so we can eat them.
Just sayin.

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 way—now 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.

Vegetables are what food eats.

It’s the carbs that will get you.

With enough carbs and not enough protein, you can and probably will, still get fat.

Vegie diets are very unhealthy. You can expect to have low energy, sickness and a shorter lifespan by eating vegan diets.

If Vegans don’t like earth food, they can always go back to Vega.
