| If you look at traditional diets (pre-industrialisation), very few are truly vegan. Many are plant-based, but most will also include small amounts of meat, seafood, or dairy. For instance, many Indians are vegetarian but eat dairy. In Japan they eat seafood in addition to soybeans, and in China sma... |

| When I was younger I rejected girls who didn't meet my standards. I look back now and think I was quite naive and influenced by the media and by social norms around beauty standards. :lol: The man who would become my husband first rejected me because I did not meet his beauty standards (he preferre... |

| I love animals. I don't even like killing roaches, to tell you the truth. If I can be assured that my veggie hamburger will always taste like real hamburger, then I might make the switch. While I am not a fan of mock-meat veggie burgers (I prefer a nice toothsome bulgur-based burger), my meat-lovin... |

| ... I am disgusted by eating animal flesh and bodily fluids. Then please do not come down on me for finding the Vegan diet merely disappointing. I haven't :scratch: . So far, all I have done was 1. Agree that ethical veganism = privilege 2. Disentangle animism from PETA and veganism, because the fo... |

| Unless a person is a member one of the religions that prohibits eating meat, there is no "sin" in doing so. Unless a person lives where the government has outlawed the eating of meat, there is nothing illegal about doing so. The whole Animist/PETA/Vegan movement is an effort by worshipp... |

| Humans have attributed to gods the beauty and ugliness of nature and natural events, probably as far back as Homo neanderthalensis. The idea of the beauty of nature being evidence for the existence one's god is as plausible as Demeter being responsible for changes in season, or Thor's hammer being t... |

| That doesn't give a free pass for girls/women in positions where they know they are role models to starve themselves. Granted many of them have a compulsive need so they are likely to be influenced by the same standards you already pointed out were set years before by Twiggy and Jane Fonda. What fr... |

While malnutrition is not an exclusively vegan concern, the idea that animal products are essential for proper nutrition does need to be dismantled in o... |

| At first, I was relieved that my suspicions were validated. But, since then think I might be in a little bit of denial, because I feel so “normal”. Like, if I were diagnosed with acute appendicitis, the catalyst would be sudden, obvious and abnormal physical symptoms. But with this, there is no sudd... |

He would insist that store cashiers manually key in the SKU, rather than scan the UPC code, or shop at small stores that hadn’t yet adopted mid-20 century technology. Debit... |
