Proven fast that eating soy based foods makes the body produce more estrogen which will make you gain weight. More estrogen in the body will also override testosterone in males making them more easy to control.
That's something that rarely gets discussed in Vegan threads. Soy for protein, along with phytoestrogens in many veggies, can really screw with the male endocrine system. It's long been known why body builders eat mostly meat and fats. It works.
Aside from your "control" thing, show me a muscular Vegan male, and I'll show you someone who is cheating. Also, Vegans usually are eco-weenies, climate alarmists, social justice types, free stuff for all, and basically socialists with totalitarian tendencies. Basically Hippies.
Plus, I read weekly where parents are stunting their child's growth and both the parents and children are sickly. There are criminal proceedings happening all the time with these Vegan parents. Mark my words: This fad will be seen as another giant failure by the leftists. Gluten adverse folks are reading too much into the effects. People with celiac disease are the only ones affected. Unfortunately, many people like me, simply have digestive problems with various foods. Beano and/or Lactaid before eating those foods works!
