I just have alot of really BIG opinions that I like to state as facts.
Right now I'm just really focusing on LOVING myself.
And hating everybody else.

Penr wins the thread. Only person to post a link. Ask the rest of y'all are peddling bioscience
Look, we can sit here all day and let you post links which I'll refute with by repeating my same opinion over and over again, maybe sometimes even WITH WORDS CAPITALIZED. The simple fact remains that I'm right on this, and you're just wrong. The studies are a joke.
You two keep fighting please. I am objectifying you by enjoying your profiles pictures. in fact, I think if you post before and after pictures (preferably in very little clothing) this debate will be cleared right up.

I'm annoyed now that people think being veg is so hard. It's not hard at.all. in my opinion. and there is no such thing as being protein deficient unless you are starving to death (which is actually being calorie-deficient)
REPEAT, THERE IS NO MEDICAL TERM FOR BEING PROTEIN-DEFICIENT!!
Kwashiorkor and Marasmus don't exist in developed countries, unless you are seriously ill or starving yourself.
"Kwashiorkor describes a protein deficiency, while someone with marasmus is not eating enough protein and not getting enough calories. Those in the developing countries with kwashiorkor or marasmus, have it from not eating enough food."
I'm vegan. I eat a lot, and a huge variety of delicious amazing food, so I never feel deprived. I take B-12 supplements and flax oil for folic acid. I feel great, other than some other health issues not related to my diet. I do take extra protein shakes for muscle recovery, but not because I'm afraid of being deficient.

Protein Content in Selected Vegan Foods
by Robert Cheeke, Vegan Bodybuilder, October 11th, 2004
This chart shows the amount of protein in various vegan foods and also the number of grams of protein per 100 calories. To meet protein recommendations, the typical adult male vegan needs only 2.2 to 2.7 grams of protein per 100 calories and the typical adult female vegan needs only 2.3 to 2.9 grams of protein per 100 calories. These recommendations can be easily met from vegan sources.

out of fear of being accused of trying to have a logical and civil debate with an opinion that is different from yours I simply say:
Just be sure to move your keyboard first. All I'm saying.
i second that advice - I have a keyboard imprint on my forehead that no amount of microdermabrasion has managed to get rid of.0 -

Greetings,
I often hear from my friends, both close and not so close, that I should do (or not do) a certain thing that is controversial within a certain subset of society.
Why is this such a common thing? What do you think (WITHOUT BEING RUDE OR DEBATING) on this? If you also do not do this certain thing, are you generally healthy?
I see. So you are just looking for people to agree with you or not post.
Got it.0 -
I have this odd feeling déjà vu, again, like it has happened before at another time somewhere.0
