She’s ticked off the vegans enough that she gets death threats from them constantly.
Faggots and Hitler are vegans.
All I know is, my cholesterol is under control with medication and I do need to lose some weight. Even so, my cardiologist told me that going vegan or vegetarian would be a waste of time, low fat (lean meats, fish, poultry), low carbs is the sensible way to go.
Outside of specific, documented medical need, I’ve found first hand that most vegans are mentally ill extremists.
I qualify specific medical need. We aren’t all the same, and some people are subject to unfortunate circumstance. Otoh, most people I know who went vegan are pansy @ss leftists with no real justification outside of leftist peer pressure over perceived cruelties with the food chain.
She is a very interesting woman, she is brilliant and an original thinker.
I’m going to read her book.
When I moved into my current house, the neighbors across the street (nice older couple) had a daughter that was one of those “militant vegans”. You know the kind, always wanting to put it in your face even if you couldn’t care less.
One day the topic turned to having a cul-de-sac block bar-b-que for the 4th. I offered to make some pork ribs and the daughter piped up with that snarky, proud of herself, condescending tone - “WELL, I don’t eat meat. I am a VEGETARIAN.”
My response was “I am so sorry to hear that! You know that they have found a cure for that .... right?!
Never spoke with the daughter again.
Vegans are insane.
All this deliciousness and yer nuts shrivel up..
A vegan diet is utter insanity. In nature, vitamin B-12 can be obtained only from animal-based products. Period. All B-12 in nature is manufactured by cobalt-fixing bacteria, and bacterial B-12 works its way up the food chain via ruminants and a variety of other means that all involve symbiosis with, or consumption of, cobalt-fixing bacteria, or consumption of smaller animals that do likewise.
A healthy adult who has eaten animal products all their life will have about a 7-10 year supply of B-12 stored in their liver. Once the stored supply gets used up while on a vegan diet or from pernicious anemia or other absorption syndrome, you’ll die.
Unfortunately, children don’t have this reserve, so feeding a child a vegan diet is criminal negligence as it will lead to death from lack of B-12. Period.
Oh, and those that take an artificial B-12 supplement to make up for the insanity of a vegan diet? Well now, just how natural can a diet be that requires you to consume a substance made in a high tech industrial pharmaceutical facility in order not to die from your oh so wonderfully perfect and “healthy”, “natural” diet?
(BTW, B-12 is FAR different than other vitamins. It’s a gigantic molecule that has a single atom of cobalt at its center, and in nature only bacteria can capture this cobalt from the environment and fix it in organic form. Thus all living animals are dependent for their existence on cobalt-fixing bacteria. Furthermore, because of its size, B-12 can be absorbed only when the gastric parietal cells manufacture a substance called intrinsic factor whose sole purpose is to drag the B-12 molecules through the intestinal lining and into the portal vein. Without intrinsic factor, say as a consequence of pernicious anemia, b-12 cannot be absorbed and a person will eventually die unless they regularly inject with B-12.)
ping... good stuff
