It can be done, but why would you want to do it when equal or better results can be achieved with less effort? Vegan eating is more about having control over going into your body than it is about health. There is no health benefit to being vegan, but it does seem to give you points on the superiority scale.

Veganism is actually an ethical position on animal exploitation and suffering.

Given your deep hostility to veganism and vegans, it might be a better idea for you to stay out of threads involving it unless you have something useful to contribute. Your main interest here is to proclaim your own superiority and to remind everyone what you think of vegans. It isn't necessary or helpful.

Veganism is a means of control over what you put in your body, nothing more, nothing less. It's like any other way of eating. Nothing I said was untrue. If a person believes that it has an impact on "animal exploitation and suffering," then that's all well and good. However, most people who take this position know nothing about animals or farming and buy into the animal rights propaganda. Since I have a vested interest in correcting the misconceptions perpetrated by animal rights propaganda AND because this is an open forum for comments on ways of eating, I feel I have every right to comment on a thread in which the OP seems to think that is some health benefit to having a vegan diet.

There is no benefit to eating a vegan diet, not in terms of weight loss or in terms of health. You can maintain the same standard of health eating a balanced, omnivorous diet. However, taking an "ethical" stance on food by extension judges what other people are eating as "unethical." If that's not all judgeypant superiorpointscoring I don't know what is.

This is all just a bunch of bunk.

People can make a bunch of different decisions of what they put in their mouth, ethical included. And as the above poster said, just because someone makes an ethically based decision as to what they put on their plate doesn't automatically mean they judge what others put on their plate.

And saying vegans buy into propaganda? That's laughable. I guess in your extensive knowledge of farming there is a way in which animals are turned into meat/meat biproducts and the animal is still left to live and roam. My apologizes. I didn't realize the error of my propaganda filled ways. P.S. I grew up around farms. I have spent more time than the average Joe or Jane on farms.

P.S. Stop derailing this thread. It's against the forum guidelines. This is an open forum, but there are rules. All of us have to live by them. Thanks in advance. Sorry to the OP. Read the good, ignore the bad and misinformed.
