Animal eaters are against vegans because VEGANs want to force everyone else to be vegans. There should not be an argument about what other people want to put in their bodies. Why else would vegans say that it is not nice to kill animals. How else do we eat them - ALIVE? Our BRAINS are made up of CHOLESTEROL which is ONLY available from eating ANIMALS. , so is our HEART, liver and other organs. Cholesterol is used to make TESTOSTERONE AND ESTROGEN as well as proving ESSENTIAL cellular functioning. If fact, low CHOLESTEROL LEVELS can even lead to SUICIDE. PLANTS provide ZERO CHOLESTEROL, and you need it EVERY DAY . Read the article published by HARVARD EDU newsletter www.health.harvard.edu/newsletter_article/cholesterol-the-mind-and-the-brain Vegans rate of SUICIDE is 33% HIGHER than general population. www.humanewatch.org/new-evidence-suggests-link-between-vegetarianism-and-depression/ BEYOND MEAT and other veggie burgers have ANIMAL FAT listed as an ingredient as well as CANCER CAUSING INGREDIENTS AND LAXATIVES. The PROFIT according to stockholder records is 600%, on BEEF its 5%. WHY SUCH THIEVES RUNNING THE VEGGIE COMPANY. Do you know what ESSENTIAL AMINO ACIDS ARE???? NOT FOUND IN VEGGIES AND THEY ARE ESSENTIAL FOR LIFE and plants have none of them. Animal dung is used for FERTILIZER to grow plants. Its a symbiotic relationship.. So how do you fertilize the plants without animal fertilizer. You can use ARTIFICIAL FERTILIZER made from PETROLEUM - Yes, that is what MONSANTO uses to make fertilizer. GASOLINE !!! YES, you are eating veggies made from PETROLEUM. Our CO2 levels are at 400 ppm, they used to be at 4,000 ppm. Did you know that PLANTS DIE when CO2 levels reach 300. How do you explain loving plants, wanting to use them for your ONLY food source - Yet you INSIST that we must kill the FOOD PLANTS EAT - THEY EAT CO2 and kick out Oxygen. If the PLANTS DIE we die too because we will have no OXYGEN!!! Eat some meat - You will live longer. You cant be nice to animals if you are DEAD!

I switched to a vegan diet overnight after watching a graphic documentary. I started feeling week within the first few weeks and I wondered what's wrong(I was starving myself🙄).. I had done no research on what to eat and vegan nutrition. I'm glad I sat down and did my own research and ate healthier. I noticed my migraines suddenly disappeared, I stopped feeling lethargic and it also helped my grandma reverse her type 2 diabetes and her constipation issue. For those of you still skeptical, try a whole foods plant based diet for atleast a month.

The problem is not the Internet,the problem is people's lack of critical thinking, to be able to discern what is real and what is not, to be aware of their own biases, their own views and be able to question what they hear and what they see properly. When a claim is made, say Dr.M Greger makes a claim that beans are good for digestion. He is an acclaimed doctor, with credentials, he will list his sources and if you check those sources they are usually scientifically robust, and so are the to the best of our knowledge as it stands. Believing that beef is good for you because 'Brad' the buff dude at the gym said so, and because he has an 8 pack he must be right, and you enjoy beef so it must be great... The best part about science is that is true regardless of whether or not you believe it, but you have to know how to check it so you are not fooled by pseudoscience. Dark chocolate was sold as a superfood when it was scientifically proven to be good for your vascular system, sales of dark chocolate skyrocketed, the study was not robust, was only done on a few people and the study was funded by Nestle. Google or YT search critical thinking, it is important in this age of information overload that we know how to find truth.

[@someguy2135]

@@LeeMaitland I agree with your post, but I want to point out that Dr. Greger does recommend cocoa powder. It provides the benefits without the drawbacks, like sugar and fat. I sometimes eat baker's chocolate which is 100% cacao (also free of added sugar,) but I mostly use cocoa powder.

[@bennygreen1]

@You are right, but I used to get a lot of gas but realized it was down to eating too quickly and not chewing my food properly. As natural plant eaters we have digestive enzymes in our saliva that break down carbs (a herbivorous trait), when you eat too fast these enzymes don't get a chance to do their job, which leads to undigested entering the small intestine, causing gas. Beyond that things like SIBO and SIFO can cause bloating and gas on a vegan diet because of the higher carb load, but fixing the problem is always a better choice than fixing the symptom.

@You are right, but Hey bro, your right, it is more environmentally friendly to go hunting locally. That being said, can I get some tips on how you hunt and fish your raw milk, kefir, raw eggs, raw butter...?

[@bennygreen1]

@You are right, but So you never looked into what causes gas then? Interesting. To be honest, I think the chances that a hunter would ever have the compassion to give a vegan diet any consideration are slim to none. But if you did, eating that long list of atherogenic animal foods would likely cause a reduction in gas. But most likely because of the reasons stated previously. Did you watch the video?

I didn't notice veganism at first. My mother got colon cancer and she was the first in all our family lineage to have any kind of cancer. She went from Stage 4, through surgery, through chemo, and came out clean, and changed her diet according to her doctor. I'd been eating the same junk as her, so I cleaned up my diet. About halfway! Because a few years later my boyfriend went vegan and then I started researching it and realized the cleaner you get the healthier you get...

I'm in a conundrum. I went plant based because a of bad blood work report. It worked great. Plus, I was able to get off of my BP meds. The problem that came up is now when walking or running in the gym, the hamstring of my left leg hurts so much I have to stop. I added meat back into my diet and the leg pain went away. I can run again without pain. But, now my BP is back up and I'm on meds again. Anyone know what plant foods I can add to supply the needed nutrient? I thought about potassium but the pain in my leg was not a cramp. I can't think of what else it could be.
