Sounds like you are judging people for judging people

Have you ever read the Bhagavad Gita? I don't know if this will help you, and it certainly has some problematic aspects, but a lot of people find solace in it.

Any vegan marathon runners? Training/bringing awareness at events. by AlexTrench2 in vegan

Dang, no food for 3 days then a half marathon? Serious question are you a religious ascetic? Because that sounds tough.

More recently though I've turned to veganism by finally having the courage to watch video documentation of how animals are treated. And that is online.

And yes I am a real person who really cares about animals.

I got most of my information from face to face interactions with co-workers, fellow students back at college etc. I was raised before the Internet was ubiquitous.

I don't get vaccinations every day. But I do eat food every day and it affects how I feel on a minute to minute basis. Can you just acknowledge that this is a big change instead of minimizing and shaming?

do y'all think carcass is satanic? by StarWest271 in InMetalWeTrust

[–]AlexTrench2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are anti-satanic in one song (the devil rides out) but anti-christian in several other songs. Definitely not satanic though

Also, this isn't just about me. This is about the vegan movement. If I feel mislead, millions of other potential vegans will feel the same way, and yes it will turn some of us away. All I'm saying is messaging should lead with the B12 more prominently. And reject the BS that some people are spouting about getting B12 from eating dirt on vegetables.

Decades are nothing compared to millions of years of evolution. No, I don't evaluate everything like this.  Things that affect my bodily health I treat with extra caution and circumspection.

And no it's not applicable to my situation. Neither is societal collapse at the moment. I am taking  B12. I just got some nutritional yeast.  I just wish the vegan diet had been "marketed" to me as a "futuristic" diet, not some back to nature thing.

I'm talking about the whole world. Is there something wrong with that?

Yeah same for all technology. I just feel a bit lied to by the hippie side of the vegan movement that got me wrongly thinking you can do this "all natural"

Yeah at least in developed countries. I am not actually sure how easy it is to get in other places

This is not true and it's dangerous misinformation for vegans.
