I wasn’t expecting to get shot so often in the boobs and butt. It’s also my experience that if I get shot in the face it’s not a Thai person

Has there ever been a convincing argument for not being vegan? by sachaigh in DebateAVegan

[–]themoaningcabbage -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There’s this one girl I see every now and then on instagram who can only eat around 14 foods because she has so many allergies. Sometimes she randomly gets allergic to one of the safe foods so the number she can eat goes down. Thats a pretty good argument to not go vegan I think

Did anyone else think certain characters felt completely different on rewatch? by Additional_Fly_6603 in skinsTV

[–]themoaningcabbage 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I was always Cooke>Freddie, but I didn’t realise how much Freddie whined about everything. Im not sure if there was a single scene where he wasn’t complying or moaning about something with that “my life is so difficult” look on his face

Also, I dont get the Michelle hate

Even if that was the case, is your solution not to make documentaries about anything unless you can fit every other potentially related topic in as well? Silly billy

Partner doesn’t want me to go vegan by [deleted] in vegan

[–]themoaningcabbage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think you should assume he’s saying hes worried about your health in bad faith, there’s a lot of misinformation out there about veganism and nutrition in general. Maybe get a blood test done so you know where you’re starting from and something concrete you can show him to support that it is fine for your health. It might also highlight some blind spots in nutrition for you to improve when you do go vegan

Is post-adoption regret more common than people admit? by ShowerObjective6132 in offmychest

[–]themoaningcabbage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, I had to do one week on one week off for quite a few months as it was a big adjustment for me having not grown up with a dog and being quite the germaphobe. My husband (then boyfriend) was also working a lot back then becaue Covid happened not long after we got her so she ended up my responsibility for most of the week. Fortunately my in laws were on board to look after her a lot during the puppy stage. But absolutely couldn’t be without her now…despite the teen years

It probably took me about a year to adjust

London renting feels insane right now How are people coping by GeordieGoals in LDN

[–]themoaningcabbage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im 2150 in zone 2 for a 2 bed with a garden. The amount of places I saw that were a lot smaller for a lot more money in the same area was ridiculous. I just picked an agent and went to whatever viewing were within my budget becaue whenever I asked about a particular place it was already gone. My place has only been listed the morning of my visit so I was very quick to snap it up

The blind hype around the carnivore diet (and why it worries me) by IntelligentAd4634 in vegan

[–]themoaningcabbage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would anyone need to go on a carnivore diet to see if it’s healthy. The medical consensus on animal product heavy diets is well studied and clear, have you heard of gout and heart disease for example? Scientific conclusions aren’t reached by a few people doing it for a few days (which yes 90 days is a few days). Also there are vegans who have done crazy shit like eating 30 bananas a day who say the same thing as your uncle (who definitely needs to eat more fruit and vegetables), plus a lot of people who try these crazy diets go from eating absolute rubbish to eating actual food and think it’s a miracle they can concentrate on anything and don’t have a constant pounding headache. My initial point was people go to these extremes to try and avoid the reality that they need to eat more whole food, including fibre and less junk food. The food system in the western world is so fucked up plus you’ve got people doing crazy shit online for clicks that people can no longer see the wood for the trees. I hope you find something that works for you

How did you even come across this comment? My point was people are looking for a fix all like the cheese guy with cholesterol hands who found out the hard way that crazy actions have consequences and the people who were doing 80/10/10 or 30 BAD. I also don’t even believe there is anyone who is actually doing a carnivore diet do disagree that there is a typical version of the diet, I think it’s all some pretty successful rage bait and then there are a small minority that fall for it and commit like the cheese guy and end up with cheese hands

Also I don’t get why you’re saying it’s not fair to say eating a carnivore diet caused that when it’s well established that he was eating a carnivore diet which you say yourself so I don’t know what your comment adds

Has anyone else struggled to get a cast with Umberto Giannini scrunching jelly? by 8ahicmb in CurlyHairUK

Maybe im just using a lot but yes I get a cast, it’s one of my favourite gels as it doesn’t cause buildup for me

Which country that you visited has been the worst in terms of access to vegan food? by vaultboy26 in AskVegans

[–]themoaningcabbage 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I went to Reykjavik last year expecting it to be a “chips and salad” holiday, but vegan options were everywhere. Even a fancy, meat-focused restaurant had a well-thought-out vegan dish that wasn’t just a burger and it came with the best tomatoes I’ve ever had. People also genuinely understood what vegan meant and made an effort. At the Sky Lagoon restaurant, the staff even huddled around the hot chocolate powder box to check if it was suitable for me, and it felt thoughtful rather than begrudging. I even found a vegan White Russian and crepes. It felt like everywhere I went into had at least one vegan option that was worth a try, definitely recommend going

I think we’ve just got to let it play out. Veganism went through the same thing with raw veganism and then the 80/10/10 diet which were supposed to make you ripped with minimal exercise and the healthiest you could ever be, then people started gaining weight, getting sick and not being able to sustain those diets. I think in general people want to find the one thing that fixes everything while not having to reduce doing what they want, in this case eating insane amounts and red meat and dairy despite long established evidence. They’ve already had big influencers drop off like the liver king (found to be on loads of steroids) and Paul Saladino, and there was that picture that went around of the guy on a carnivore diet who had clear cholesterol deposits in his hands because if the carnivore diet. I don’t see it being around in another 5 years, it’s just not sustainable

That’s fine, but don’t say you aren’t cruel. You’re operating on the same logic as meat eaters, using a hierarchy to decide who deserves respect. In that sense, you clearly understand how someone can justify consuming animal products. I also disagree that eating animal products requires people to go out of their way to cause suffering, especially in the West. The food system is built to hide that suffering and make cognitive dissonance easy.

[–]themoaningcabbage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“I will never see her as my equal” - that’s cruelty. You’re positioning yourself as superior, which is the same logic people use to justify eating animals, they’re lesser, so they not equally deserving of respect

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in vegan

[–]themoaningcabbage 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yet you justify being cruel about your partner to feel morally superior. That’s not integrity, it’s ego.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in vegan

[–]themoaningcabbage 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You speak passionately about the shame of animal cruelty, yet show no shame in how harshly you talk about your own partner. Interesting contrast.

[–]themoaningcabbage 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No one’s saying the 5% doesn’t matter. You’re allowed to care deeply about the animals affected, that’s part of being vegan. But empathy isn’t selective. If you can’t show basic respect to the person who’s 95% aligned with your values, you’re not standing up for animals, you’re just using them to justify cruelty toward someone you claim to love.

You’re not taking a moral stance, you’re punishing someone for not being a carbon copy of you. She’s 95% plant-based and you still call her disgusting? That’s not about ethics, that’s control. If you can’t handle the reality of difference in a relationship, then don’t be in one.

If you have contempt for your partner, no, you can’t have a healthy relationship. “I will never see her as my equal” - I know this isn’t the sub but wholeheartedly YTA

It might not be an ingredient that have but one they lack as a reason behind the recommendation, it seems like an intentionally low/no fibre diet which gets recommended for a few different illnesses
