Nothing wrong with being vegan if that’s what someone prefers, so long as they make sure to get enough protein in thier diet. Nothing wrong with meat in the diet either as long as one doesn’t go overboard and sticks to lean cuts. Personally, as someone who lifts wieghts 4 to 5 days a week I couldn’t get enough protein in my diet if I went vegan. I don’t like supplements and soy protein just doesn’t get it.
My SIL’s family was vegetarian, her middle daughter became malnutritioned.
I haven’t met a healthy vegetarian yet and I don’t even know a vegan.
Two words for Vegans, “POTATO FAMINE!”
Yes, that seems to be the norm. Of course their are 1 or 2 outliers. I couldn't imagine a Vegetarian Diet, let a lone a Vegan diet. I love steak and meat. If people want to eat that way, that's fine w/ me. Just don't give me condescending glances when I order a steak or hamburger, and you will get the same from me.
Yep. It’s a substitute religion. It’s how they expiate guilt without repentance from real sin. Makeup fake sins that are mitigated by self righteous behavior. Voila’- all is right with the world.
Of course, some of my vegetables are pre-processed. :)
I remember a Thanksgiving dinner some years ago where the son of the daughter of my friend’s wife (got that?) remarked that he had read that people didn’t start eating meat until about ten thousand years ago due to a great worldwide shortage of food. I answered him by saying humans have teeth that have evolved for ripping into and eating meat. That couldn’t have happened in just ten thousands years time. He was a very nice young man, but he had been fed a diet of vegan, historical baloney.
Yummy, tasty, delicious murder...
I love being an omnivore. :-)

I have noticed that many celebrities claim to have, or have had, some kind of eating disorder.
I highly recommend, Lierre Keith’s book, The Vegetarian Myth. Lierre was a dedicated vegetarian from high school and she details the progressive destruction of her health because of it; as well as her difficult journey to return to a normal human diet. She still has a few wacky ideas, but overall this is an amazingly honest look at the reality behind vegetarianism. If you have vegans in your family, this is a great book to arm yourself against their evangelical attempts to get you to join them.

Gee, if I had stayed on my meat based diet and let my canines just dig into that murdered animal I would look like a lot of the people that I see walking on the street. So over 20 years ago I switched to vegetarian diet then went VEGAN a few years back. Now I’m not an expert but when my doctor did a recent blood group workup on me due to a history of prostrate cancer in the family (I’m 58)he came back to me telling me that I not only had fantastic numbers but that I was healthier than most of his patients. He believes that it not only helped me to loose 60 pounds it also helped me maintain the healthy level that I’m at. Now I can’t speak for other Vegans, some of whom are smelly leftists, however, speaking for myself, I know that I am in good physical condition. No I’m not Mr. Muscle, I do still have a few extra pounds. The rest of my family is constantly sick, malnourished, are cancer survivors (cousin is, brother still fighting it) and in a generally reduced physical condition. They constantly tell me that they can’t go without some type of meat, I tell them enjoy it what have you got to loose anyway, your life. My dogs are even VEGANS and the vet can’t believe the excellent condition that they are in. I get plenty of B-12 just from Soy Protien alone plus the other vegetables that I eat. I grow my own food organically and no I do not use manure as it is derived from an animal source. So go ahead and flame on when I say that you are murderers for eating animals. By the by, I’ve voted REPUBLICAN in every election since Milhouse.
Or ugly mean lesbian leftists like my cousin
