Trying Vegan..

[Bubbs]

So my wife started going to breastfeeding mums group for company while I'm in work. Inevitably she made friends with a lot of them and they are all hippies and vegan. (think those two terms are interchangeable).

Anyway she's been indoctrinated and given a suggestion to watch some interesting documentaries, namely Cowspiracy and Earthlings. I quite enjoyed Cowspiracy, thought it was interesting - not entirely sure if their facts are 100% correct but they raise an interesting point. Since this my wife did the weekly shop and came back with nothing but Vegan friendly food....

So for the past week I've been veg'ing it up and not had any dairy or meat at all - thought id be a quivering mess by now. However I feel fucking fantastic, full of energy, clear headed and happy. Very odd.

So decided to watch the documentary called 'Earthlings - linky'. This one was harder to watch, my wife watched 30mins and had to stop - so I decided to watch the rest of it during my lunch break today (not the brightest idea ). Decided to try this vegan lifestyle for the month of Feb to see how I feel. The meat alternatives are actually not bad.

Anyone else tried this?

Benefits I notice so far:
- Need less sleep and when I wake up I feel much more alert and full of energy during the day
- Don't feel bloated/heavy after a meal
- Brain fog has disappeared
- Feel less fat
- Feel less depressed/anxious

Will see how it goes

Couldn't and wouldn't do it. I like my animal flesh too much.

Remember folks. Meat is murder, Juicy, tasty delicious murder.

I would have thought it'd be much better if you took your wife to some of the local farms in your area and view what really goes on, rather than cherry picked video's of actions usually performed by the mentally ill

just sounds like placebo effect to me what you're experiencing.

Maybe you just need a more balanced diet instead?

It's harmful to breastfeed while indoctrinated.

PS Vegans fart a lot. Will you not consider of the ozone layer?

This is my 2000th post, I'm glad I could use it for the greater good.

Try some quinoa or some shit. My mum makes it now and again, oh and butter beans are good.

Mind you, the above is served with Chicken chorizo..

evolution has made us Omnivorous
we have teeth to cope with meat and a stomach to digest it

pandas are the same but decided to go back to Vegan and look what happened to them
why save them they committed ecological suicide by not eating meat and spend all day eating bamboo they find hard to digest

How can you recognise a vegan if you meet them in a bar?

They'll tell you.

So you have the first thing about veganism correct already. ie. banging on about it to anyone who will listen.

It's not vegan if you don't push back.

I wonder what the Vegan position on Soylent Green is?

Face it in the future we'll all be vegans eating 3d printed food made from soy protein. Only rich people will eat real meat.

How much veg did you eat before?

Ever since moving in with my partner I've eaten a lot more veg. To my surprise, veggies can actually taste really good when they have been cooked properly.

Having a more healthy diet certainly makes me feel better. I also eat a lot less meat now, but I don't miss it. I have it when I want it, but I find that there are actually a lot of meals out there that taste really good without using meat - a vegetable curry for example.

Downside is now that my diet has moved from 'appalling' to 'okay', whenever I buy something like a greasy pizza, I feel groggy the next day

Bear in mind that mothers these days seem to be the worst for peer pressure, and also seem to latch on to all sorts of crazy woo. At least she's not been absorbed into the anti vax chemtrail, clean eating collective.

... Yet.

Resistance is futile!
