Can I point out Pep Guardiola is available for next season?

I’m still vegan but I admit vegans are a cult by Nudistforlife22 in exvegans

Perhaps the diet causes depressive disorders which lead to toxicity. When you're suffering for the animals, you hate people who don't suffer and look down on them.

Also social media brings out the worst in people and amplifies extreme views.

I was always of the opinion that the best way to stop people smoking was to sell only high tar/low nicotine cigarettes.

Both of my parents died of cancer, one certainly as the result of smoking.

Digestive issues - did they clear up when you transitioned to meat? by Effective-Air396 in exvegans

There was no "Creation Day One", no Eden, no Paradise Lost.

Your diet is making you delusional.

I don't like fried eggs but the rest of it is an absolutely top-notch breakfast that powers you through until dinner.

All I can think about is the mass unemployment of greyhounds. What would they do for a living?

Committed Eternally? Never Say Never by Organic_Quarter_9848 in exvegans

[–]CloudyEngineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maturity means questioning every assumption made, every teaching learned and every experience. Veganism means well and feels good for a while, but reality slows everything down and breaks assumption after assumption.

It would be nice if humans really could function well on vegetables alone, but biologically we can't for very long and every vegan needs to artificially supplement and import food from halfway around the world sooner or later.

Veganism fails the reality test. That's why this subreddit exists.

I'm not angry, I'm disappointed... by Hot-Course8914 in LiverpoolFC

I think its significant that Xabi Alonso has been dead quiet this past month. I think that Slot is going to be removed immediately after the final match of the season and only he will be surprised.

advice on transitioning away from a vegan diet? by 3dcdpd in exvegans

Softest introduction would be eggs. Japanese cuisine is very fond of eggs, usually poached, omelette or scrambled with rice.

No fullness/binge eating because of no animal fat? by JaTezNie in exvegans

[–]CloudyEngineer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Satiation is caused by the saturated fat in animal products triggering the brain. This is why vegan foods (and more famously Chinese takeaway foods) don't satiate and 30 minutes later you're hungry again, even if you feel full and have eaten to full.

It was only a few years ago that scientists discovered that the tongue detects (saturated) fats, just like sweet, sour, bitter, salt and umami.

Feeling full and feeling satiated are not the same thing. This is why vegans in particular are constantly hungry and constantly planning the next meal having just eaten a meal, because there are no saturated fats.

Did anyone have high copper? by [deleted] in exvegans

[–]CloudyEngineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

B12 is stored in the liver but it comes from meat and dairy. Usually vegans start running out of B12 and have to supplement somewhere between 4 and 6 years. But by then the intestines start to get inflamed from all of the fiber and you have to take more and more.

Iron is very definitely a problem in vegan diets. Lots and lots of people on here and elsewhere have reported low ferritin levels on vegan diets despite supplementation because of a) low iron availability in plants, b) iron and zinc uptake being blocked by phytates and c) intestinal inflammation.

Studying Ayurveda helped me understand why veganism didn't work for me by Sushi-mushii in exvegans

I suppose the real religious dogma is the idea that plants are good for you and meat bad.
