Vegans

[still kicking]

So, this is not against all vegans, but I am getting cheesed of telling me what to do and eat. Just look at the trouble the Perth girl is doing all over the world. 

[Puccini]

No girl from Perth has done anything to me. In fact, I don't even know any girl from Perth nor the parents of an girl from Perth 

[1FinickyOne]

Well, don't know of 'Perth Girl' - - - but it seems Vegans have a bit of a reputation of being mean...?? Is that correct?

The Perth girl started all that

When?

 

Vegans have been very political for a very long time (decades).

 

Nobody who could be reasonably described as 'girl' could possibly be old enough to have started anything - look to those in PETA and similar organisations.

 

Not all of them of course.....

Vegans eat the food of my cows... they should be put in prison for animal cruelty and be given rice and water only

[scubascuba3]

I follow a couple of vegan YouTubers, doesn't make me want to go vegan

Used to associate with the Vegan cyclists in CM, never seen such an aggressive bunch, fist fights and reporting each other to the police nearly every week. All disappeared now.

 

Girl in the photo looks like she has a serious eating disorder!

If anybody wants to eat salad, fine, do that. 

But please don't try to convince me that I should do the same.

I eat out in a vegan restaurant at least twice a week. Always very cheery.

 

Militant vegans are like feminazi's. A right wing wet dream.

 

They dream of being hassled, but they're just invisible boomers, not even worth the trouble.

[JimTripper]

I have known some nasty vegans, but it’s only the females. Male vegans always seem peaceful and non-aggressive. ????????‍♂️

Did you ever have crazy, angry sex with a vegan?

 

Because that's a story that everyone is dying to hear.

 

Me? No diff than the others.

I don’t think so. The ones I have known seem to be lesbians.

From the Vegans in the News Department:

 

Sam Bankman-Fried living on bread and water because jail won't abide by vegan diet, lawyer says
The co-founder of failed cryptocurrency exchange FTX pleaded not guilty to a seven-count indictment charging him with wire fraud, securities fraud and money laundering.

 

Aug. 23, 2023, 1:50 AM +07

An attorney for FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried said in federal court Tuesday his client has to subsist on bread, water and peanut butter because the jail he's in isn't accommodating his vegan diet.

 

Defense attorney Mark Cohen said that Bankman-Fried isn’t getting his prescribed Adderall, which helps him focus, and that he isn’t getting a vegan diet, so he has had to subsist on bread and water with some peanut butter.

 

U.S. Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn said she doesn’t think the prison can offer a vegan diet, only a vegetarian one, and she said she would look into the situation right away. Bankman-Fried is being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.

Although I do not eat meat, and am quite conscious of ingredients, and the quality of cooking oils, etc., I consider alot of foods within vegan diets to be highly toxic. In order to substitute for dairy, they tend to use alot of low end oils and fats. And I do consider the diet to be a form of extremism. Same applies to a fruitarian, raw food diet, etc. I desire some semblance of balance in life.

 

If the vegan food is homemade, it can be healthy. The other aspect to this diet, from my point of view, has to be the horror and huge inconvenience of traveling. I cannot even imagine the effort that goes into it.

 

Recently, however, there has been an influx of a wide variety of new vegan and vegetarian processed products that do not provide consumers with all of the health benefits you might expect from adhering to a meat-free diet. It is important to ensure that you read the back of the package to really understand what is packed into these faux meat processed foods that may negatively impact on consumer’s health.

 

https://futurefood.com.au/blog/2020/02/vegan-vegetarian-meat-substitutes-and-the-potential-health-risks-of-these-food-types

 

Mock meats and cheeses: These processed foods generally contain lots of additives. They also provide you with far fewer vitamins and minerals than whole, protein-rich plant foods like beans, lentils, peas, nuts and seeds.

Some dairy-free milks: Sweetened dairy-free milks generally contain a good amount of added sugar. Opt for the unsweetened versions instead.

Vegan protein bars: Most vegan protein bars contain high amounts of refined sugar. What’s more, they usually contain an isolated form of protein, which lacks the nutrients you’d find in the plant it was extracted from.

Not the one I knew... nasty piece of work though surely thought he was easy going...

I always look forward to having my vegan lunches from Guan Imm and elsewhere  on the weekends though I'm not a vegan. My meat intake though is lite, maybe a few times a week. 

[MichaelHunt]

Veganism is not a diet. It's an ideology.

[Dazinoz]

Reminds me of a joke. A vegan and a vegetarian jump of a tall building to see who hits the ground first.

 

Who wins?

 

SOCIETY.

Oh, the OP means that Perth, the one in Australia? No wonder, then, that I haven't read about it.

 

Anyway, the OP seems to try hard to keep the story secret, otherwise he would have given a link to it. Rather inconsiderate, I should think.
