DIE! DIE! DIE!:
But given that a vegan is often sickly unless they actually watch what they eat/or take the right pills, I wouldn't trust one study anyway.

I didn't say every vegan needed pills not to live healthy |

Posts: 48272 | October 15th, 2007 at 09:41am What does a vegan diet consist of?
I don't know any vegans, so I'm not really aware of what the diet contains.
Just out of curiousity.

Posts: 509 | October 15th, 2007 at 11:39pm Hmmm.... I've actually been thinking about going vegetarian. I can't stand what some people do to animals. And there are TONS of other ways to get all the vitamins you need, I'm still doing a bit of studying up on it though. So I actually KNOW what to do and whatnotness. But honestly I have respect for anyone who is vegan or vegitarian, it takes some self control if you really like the taste of meat. I'm all for it. |

A vegan's diet is basically anything that DOESN'T contain any meat in it, and they also don't eat/drink any animal products. Like milk, eggs, SOMETIMES honey (it depends on this one) etc. |

A vegan's diet is basically anything that DOESN'T contain any meat in it, and they also don't eat/drink any animal products. Like milk, eggs, SOMETIMES honey (it depends on this one) etc. To simplify, NO animal products at all.
And it's not just in what one eats, lifestyle is also included. Vegans don't wear anything made out of animal products or use any other items that contain any animal products. And most likely, they also don't use any products that have been tested on animals either.
I'm not completely clear on all of this, but I think it's fairly accurate.
Veganism is not a casual undertaking, one really needs to know what one is getting into. |

Actually it's easier to be a little bit overweight--the biggest mistake new vegetarians/vegans make is filling up on simple carbs like white bread and white rice and pasta and so on, which have less nutritional value and are less filling than whole grains.

Posts: 2184 | October 16th, 2007 at 05:09pm i personally am a vegetarian, for moral reasons more than anything else. but i don't preach. if other people want to eat meat, that's fine, and i know humans weren't designed for veganism or vegetarianism but it's just my opinion that im not okay with people abusing animals for my 1 n a half minutes of pleasure. |

Posts: 37 | October 16th, 2007 at 06:22pm Im a vegetarian since I was eight...allow me to tell you a story.....
Around that time i was sent to live with my uncle who lived in the country and he owned a farm. Shortly after my arrival a pig had babies. One of them was a deformed runt, so natrually he allowed me to keep it as a pet ( BTW it was a boy named princess). About a year later I left for a week to go visit some other family mambers when I came back we had a huge BBQ. At one point in the middle of the meal I asked my uncle where proncess was..his reply????.....On your plate.
Needless to say I am afraid to eat meat now.

If you like it, eat it
If your not into meat, then do it. No use forcing yourself to eat food you hate.
but if it's hard, you probably like it.
So why bother?
--
So I've been here for a little while & I've read through all 11 pages.
I am a vegetarian & I've been one for about 2 months. I do get cravings, very strong cravings for meat, but I really love this lifestyle. I feel better about what I put into my body. It was my choice & I wouldn't push that on anyone else.
However, I strongly disagree with what you have to say. There are a lot of hard things out there. Quitting smoking? Exercising? Both of those things can be hard for some people. I'm sure lots of people would love to smoke & not exercise. Just because something is enjoyable and very hard to give up doesn't mean it's not worth a try.
Just because you don't agree with the lifestyles of vegans/vegetarians doesn't mean you should discourage others from attempting it. |

Posts: 1067 | October 19th, 2007 at 04:55am It just seems like a waste of you enjoy it. Smoking can kill you. Meat can't.
I wouldn't ever give up something I loved unless I had to. |

Posts: 2026 | October 19th, 2007 at 05:39am Anything can kill you if you get too much of it, even water. By the way, different kinds of meat, particular smoked/cured varieties and the kinds cooked at very high temperatures until the outside is charred, have carcinogens.

While smoking is more harmful than meat, both have their downsides.

Posts: 4264 | October 19th, 2007 at 06:42pm I'm a pesaterian, fish is the only meat I'll eat. Veganism seems too strict for me, and slightly unhealthy. No dairy, eggs, etc just seems like there isn't much left in the food pyramid! |

Posts: 48272 | October 19th, 2007 at 08:27pm No offence to anyway, but I feel that if you're going vegetairian, you might as well do it properly, meaning eating no fish.
Isn't the main concept of vegetarianism to not eat meat because of the fact you're eating an innocent animal which is more likely than not to have been killed in an inhumane way?
Why does that not apply to a fish?

Posts: 1067 | October 19th, 2007 at 10:21pm Some people are veg because they are anti factory farming. Fish arn't normally raised, they are caught.
Anyway, as per the meat comment, of course anything in abundance can kill you, but smoking is much more deadly then meat, which is just about as "deadly" as any other food out there. There are ways to grill and heat that can destroy carcinogens.
Even well..a veggies best friend can be more deadly then well cooked meat.
