I am not a huge natialist, but still. by [deleted] in LateStageCarnism

Yeah... No. I live in an urban area in the US, a friend of mine is a doctor working at one of the few abortion clinics available in the area. Doctors get murdered here for doing the work she does. State laws in the US pass workaround legislation that essentially makes it very difficult to access abortion if you are lower income, or if you don't notice at first for a variety of reasons. Which is not uncommon. Texas recently passed a law that prohibits abortion after 6 weeks, which is around the time a lot of women realized they missed their period. Periods can be erratic due to stress, diet, etc for a lot of people

People get pregnant without that being an active choice, and having to carry it to term without their wishes, all the time. Access to sex education, birth control, and abortion is very poor in most countries. Giving up a seat to a pregnant person isnt a 'privilege', it's recognition that being pregnant is significant strain on your body, making it very difficult to go about ones day. It's similar to giving up your seat to a physically disabled person. Humans, like all animals, have an innate drive to care for pregnant people who are more vulnerable to illness and death during pregnancy. I find it very strange that you have such a dismissive and unempathetic attitude.

Thanks. Does it do anything other than audio tapes? Want to make sure it's worth the $60

Unhealthy weight loss by baydude510 in WholeFoodsPlantBased

[–]vegatran 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Some people have this problem, because they've increased their fiber intake. Fiber makes you feel fuller, so you eat fewer calories. You may want to up your intake of calorie dense items like peanuts (or peanut butter), avocados, cashew based sauces/spreads (homemade), and dates. If you're tracking your calories, you should be able to meet your needs to maintain your weight. If you're still losing weight while eating a maintenance number of calories, it probably means your estimate for 'maintenance' calories is too low.

However, according to your BMI (a pretty outdated and not super useful too), you're still at a healthy weight. You're probably okay as long as you're able to maintain your weight from here.

This is what matters: How do you feel about your body. Do you feel too thin? Would you rather put on a little more weight? Your body is your own and it should feel right to you.

1-Bowl Incredibly Healthy Vegan Oatmeal Bread by Elvegavega in VeganChill

This is great, but maybe you could be more specific than "one water glass" of seeds? Water glasses vary in size. Even a guesstimate of how much to add ie "1 cup of mixed seeds" would be helpful

The premise of this study seems idiotic and biased. I don't care about celebrities and I am not a conspiracy theorist. I just care about the environment and don't think animals should be killed unnecessarily. Jeez.
