It was going to be on my headstone within a year or two had I not gone on this diet and gotten my A1C and BP under control, smarta**. Keep spouting off the conventional wisdom all you want, but I'm living proof that the CW is crap.
"Second, why do you associate people who eat differently from you with being " CommieLib, hipster jack wagons"?, as you put it. When did what people eat become political? Pretty ignorant, if you ask me."
Because it is political. The anti-meat, anti-ranching, anti-dairy, anti-hunting constituency is, and always has been, behind the vegetarian/vegan conventional wisdom. You can read all the peer-reviewed studies you want -- and "peer reviewed" means nothing but "preaching to the choir" -- but seeing is believing. What I see is a lot of CommieLib, hipster jack wagons here in Boise -- and we have a LOT of them -- that are sicker and less healthy than I was even before I lost the weight! Oh yeah, and the CommieLib, hipster, vegan jack wagons I know are all supporters of the Obammunist...go figure. Veganism is unhealthy, mentally and physically. Period.
But that's okay, go ahead and believe what the Leftist agenda-pushers want you to believe. I prefer to think for myself, and get results for myself. Think I'll go to the gym now.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Maybe because they know what meat and dairy ultimately does to the body. That doesn't make it political. I have been on a whole food, vegan diet for over 5 years, and am the better off for it. I don't put dietary cholesterol in my body. The body makes all the cholesterol it needs. You may have lost weight, but you need to look out for heart disease and cancer. If you want political, research how the beef industry literally harasses any doctor who promotes a plant based diet.
Veganism is not unhealthy at all. That is an uninformed opinion based on your preconceived notions and your own wishful thinking because you WANT to believe it.
Giving up animal product cured me of allergies and controls my weight. Nothing political about it. Do some research outside of your comfort zone.
