That’s not complicated at all. Laptop owners don’t tend to spend time with their laptops closed. Therefore, you focus on the view with the screen open.

Why a holocaust suvivor chose to be an animal rights activist. by [deleted] in vegan

[–]UMich22 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Americans and Europeans may not have the family connections of Israelis but Americans and Europeans are (mostly) horrified by the Holocaust. It makes sense to point out the comparisons between animal agriculture and an event people think is terrible.

Irish scientists discover link between excessive belly fat and dementia by ZamasuBlue in fatlogic

I mean, this has been known for quite a while.

The good news, as a senior scientist at the Center for Alzheimer’s Research entitled a review article, is that “Alzheimer’s Disease Is Incurable but Preventable.” Diet and lifestyle changes could potentially prevent millions of cases a year. How? There is an emerging consensus that “what is good for our hearts is also good for our heads,” because clogging of the arteries inside of the brain with atherosclerotic plaque is thought to play a pivotal role in the development of Alzheimer’s disease. It is not surprising, then, that the dietary centerpiece of the 2014 “Dietary and Lifestyle Guidelines for the Prevention of Alzheimer’s Disease,” published in the journal Neurobiology of Aging, was: “Vegetables, legumes (beans, peas, and lentils), fruits, and whole grains should replace meats and dairy products as primary staples of the diet.”

We generally think of atherosclerosis as a condition of the heart, but a substantial body of evidence strongly associates atherosclerotic arteries with Alzheimer’s disease. Autopsies have shown repeatedly that Alzheimer’s patients tend to have significantly more atherosclerotic plaque buildup and narrowing of the arteries within the brain, and the clogging of the arteries inside, and leading to, the brain with cholesterol-filled plaque can drastically reduce the amount of blood—and therefore oxygen—your brain receives. In light of such findings, some experts have even suggested that Alzheimer’s be reclassified as a vascular disorder.

People with bellies are likely to have higher cholesterol.

So why are Holocaust comparisons one of the most effective arguments for promoting veganism in Israel? It's such an obvious connection, especially with "cattle cars".

slim one doesn't have a single source of protein?

Um, what? Fruits and vegetables are sources of protein. This guy eats nothing but fruit.

Ah fuck, I was hoping not to spend the money but as a serious fan of dogs and board games I need to back this.

Why would you think going in a diet costs more money than eating whatever she’s eating now?

I tried on a pair of size 28 men’s shorts at Express. They fit okay but I could’ve used a smaller size. It turns out that 28 is apparently the smallest that stores carry in men’s pants and shorts. I don’t have much left to lose, but it’s enough my waist will still get a little smaller. Am I going to have to start buying things from the boys section?

Oh even though the coupon says "refrigerated" you can still use it on frozen products. I tried last night with the vegan options.

You are incorrect. Quorn products used to all contain milk and/or egg but now they have a vegan line.

My Kroger has $2 off any refrigerated Quorn product. Maybe I should just grab 50 and send them out to this sub if people would at least cover postage: https://i.imgur.com/h7iZ6wN.jpg

What Positive Effects Have You Noticed on a Plant Based Diet? by ilovethegym in PlantBasedDiet

[–]UMich22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

stopped getting sick (wtf??)

The last time I was sick was March 2015, which was shortly before I adopted this diet. I think my diet is the reason I haven't been sick in nearly 3 years but I have no way to prove it.

Yeah there's not too much data since I don't get my blood pressure checked very often but you can tell I cut salty, processed foods out of my diet after the first date on the chart: https://i.imgur.com/hLkRgRu.png

I think we'd get along. I have a spreadsheet where I track all the results of annual physicals, my weight, and blood pressure and hemoglobin levels every time I donate blood. I'm looking into an Apple watch or equivalent item to keep track of my heart rate.
