**SNIP**
My stomach was, quite literally, in ferment. All those legumes and pulses and generalised vegetable matter appeared to have turned into a giant internal compost heap. It wasn’t too bad in the mornings; but by early afternoon I was like a cow who had overdosed on clover.
At first, I palmed the outcome off on our three dogs. But after a while the problem became so severe that even they could not be expected to account for the frequency and potency of aromas emerging from my lower digestive tract.
One of the key arguments of vegans against livestock farming is the harm animals cause to the planet through the amount of methane they produce; if my experience was anything to go by, a vegan human is capable of producing just as much, if not more. I was a one-woman global warming hazard.
My children, of course, thought it was hilarious. But from my point of view, it was not only unpleasant and occasionally embarrassing, it was also incredibly uncomfortable. I felt bloated, soggy and sluggish, and began to dread meal times.
Following the advice of the nutritionist, I took to soaking nuts, oats and seeds overnight. But it made no difference. If anything, the problem began to get worse. The more healthy vegan food I put into my body, the worse my stomach problems became.

Full title - Going vegan sent me off my trolley! Exhausted, irritable and don't even start of the tummy troubles - SARAH VINE's bid to join the health revolution left her VERY green around the gills
This explains a lot....
Human are omnivores. Vegans are nature deniers.
[tummy troubles]
Know somebody who did it. Constant stomach trouble. They still don’t “get it”.
I know a lady who went from perfectly healthy to becoming a Type 1 Diabetic who has to wear an insulin pump 24/7 as a result of a vegan diet.

Come to think of it, all liberals should follow that diet. Make a political statement and reduce the population. Two birds with one stone and all.
First of all you need to immeaditly eat a nice juicy steak covered in onions and mushrooms. Now you can have some veggies, my professional opinion is mashed potatoes and roasted corn. By eating the steak you are consuming all the grasses and hay that the cow ate during its lifetime.
During any emergency you should eat some bacon or some beef jerky and always ensure you have some on hand. I myself am not a vegan, however, I do identify as one.
I was a vegetarian many years ago. For one year until the lure of bacon broke me ; )
One of my mother’s best friends dropped off vegan scones on Christmas morning. Very sweet of her, but they were like dirt chunks.
Although, years ago my brother to me to a bakery in Asheville. He brought out 2 fudge cupcakes & we ate them in the car. Afterwards he laughed & told me they were vegan. I don’t know how they did it, but those cupcakes are the best cupcakes I have ever eaten. And I know & love baked goods. Go figure.......

That’s why our eyes are on the front of our head. Like predators. Prey animals have them on the side. We are meant to eat meat
In evolutionary terms (for the party of Science! crowd), agriculture is a relatively recent event for humans. We were bred to be hunters as much or more than gatherers.
Zac lee. I believe that God kind of sort of designed us like that. I do enjoy a nice salad but I also like a good steak.
“Constant ferment...” What a dope.
I don’t talk to vegans; they’re nuts.
They are?
My mother warned me time after time that she had eyes in the back of her head, so I'd better be good. Maybe it's an Irish thing. She made good corned beef and cabbage.
My VA Dr just gave me with type 2 diabetes diagnosis at 70 yrs old. The extremely low carb, high protien diet (essentially all the meat fit to eat) is great. Eat a few greens, a lot of meat and drop the sugar numbers. Kind of a reverse vegan diet. I have no complaints at this time, the butcher at my local farmers market loves it.
