It's time to call out unscientific vegan propaganda

And farming veggies on land that used to be pasture instead of eating meat does not save the planet, but harms it.
As long as you don't eat corn-fed beef, you are doing the planet a favor by eating it. The cows fertilize the grasslands they graze on and nothing else is needed other than what mother nature provides. As long as the greedy ranchers are not overgrazing, it takes care of itself. To grow veggies on relatively sterile grasslands requires tons of water and fertilizer. Quote:

As I remarked on a keto doctor's Twitter feed recently, "Yes, all the North American megafauna were hunted to extinction by vegetarians."

Bumping this because I found a review of the documentary which lays out good information. I'm STILL hearing about this from the clueless around me: "But even body builders go vegan!"
Game Changers Movie Review: Fact vs. Fiction has an excellent point: Quote:
Especially when you consider what a documentary is telling you. Film is perhaps the most powerful at engaging our emotions, which routinely bypass the logical parts of our brain. Quote:
Which explains why pea protein is EVERYWHERE all of a sudden. And why Dr. Dean Ornish shows up! Quote:

This is a great point because, sadly, this is one of the reasons behind the Vegan Honeymoon Syndrome. Moving from junk to less junk can feel really good... at first. It's a complicated explanation involving cell permeability. But the downsides appear only months in, and get worse over time. This is when people get trapped, like quicksand. The more they struggle to "do it right" the worse things get. But that seductive honeymoon keeps beckoning. Quote:
Key to my situation, and why I eat so few plants of late, is this: Quote:
Those last three items? Full of lectins. As I discovered over a two day period of nausea from ONE cashew, my body reacts to these plant poisons like they are poisons. Now I know! It took abstaining from all legumes to discover what my metabolism really thinks of them. Much like I used to painlessly consume gluten, and now it's like someone turned on a blowtorch in my stomach.

Bio-availability is my new word for nutrition. I'm probably out on the extreme end when it comes to getting anything good out of plants. But I can't be the only one. Quote:
I wish more doctors knew that. :agree: Quote:
Which was another problem for me when I tried to be vegetarian. I was eating eggs and cheese, too! And now, trying to heal my body from years of ill health, I think I need MORE protein, not less. There's lots more science at the link. But in conclusion: Quote:
That's what we're up against. The New Puritans. |
One of the news stories I posted on Twitter came out from a Canadian press story.
British Columbia was considering using human remains as a component of their compost production. I have heard nothing since about this plan so don't know if the BC legislators went ahead with its approval Imagine having human remains in your back yard garden or in the fields of soybeans and potatoes. Interesting concept I wonder of the BC department of health nixed the idea |

If they do this, it'll only be a matter of time before they skip the compost part, and we end up with Soylent Green. WB is right in that the pea protein is showing up in everything these days. I wandered through the supplement and nutritional bar aisle at walmart the other day to see if there was any kind of shelf stable, commercially made bar that wouldn't set off cravings for me, since I have yet to find a recipe for some kind of LC snack/meal that is shelf stable and won't set off cravings (so I can take it when we travel and/or visit relatives who provide nothing but carb laden foods for several days - nuts are out because I can't stop until they're all gone, and that alone sets off cravings for more). Even the supposed keto bars had pea protein in them! If I recall correctly, it's one of the primary ingredients in the fake meats too. My creepy thoughts on this: What happens when it becomes somewhere between difficult and impossible to obtain animal proteins (you know this is what PETA wants), and nutritionists eventually realize that people are not getting anything resembling enough (or complete) protein from non-animal sources? Make way for Soylent Green. I find it ironic that in the movie it was green - not brown or red like the current fake meats - because the green color implies that it's from vegetable sources (pea protein? that would be green, at least when the peas are fresh)... only made from people, just like in the '73 movie. (Back when vegetarians were an anomaly, and meat eaters were the norm) OMG - I just googled the movie to refresh my memory about it. Not only is the green used on the posters a bright pea green, one of the movie posters said the year the movie was depicting was 2022. Even the suggestion at this point in time of using human remains for compost is science fiction taking a horrifying step along the way to becoming fact. [ETA: "Soylent Green is people!"] Ugh, I've really creeped myself out here... |

Human composting has already been legalized in Washington state, and is currently under consideration in other jurisdictions across US and Canada, including BC. The process differs from "green burial" where the non-embalmed body is buried au naturel in a permanent plot. What can and can't be done with composted human remains falls under the same laws and regulation as cremated remains .. possibly even stricter. Read more here .. A green death: Is human composting or natural burial for you?. No convoys of trucks laden with human corpses to be made into Soylent Green .. or food fertilizer :rolleyes: That is vegan propaganda at its worst, IMO :thdown:. If vegans are worried about their food being grown in animal remains, it's already being done .. not just manure, but also composted livestock (intentional) and decomposed wildlife (accidental) that are hacked and chopped to bits by machinery during tillage, planting and harvesting processes. But to suggest human remains will be used in commercial agriculture is science fiction at best, and scare-mongering at worst. :rolleyes: |
I'd hate for my remains to be used to grow soy.

Soylent green is probably healthier than soy.

As we know, how the food source was raised, and the quality of the fertilizer (for plants), and feed (for animals) is important for the final quality of the food produced. You may be right that Soylent green would be healthier than soy, but not by much, given the quality of "feed" for the animals used. Especially down the road, when the "feed" to produce soylent green is, in fact, soylent green. Because we may know that soylent green "is people", but we also know, not entirely; high tech is in there too. Certainly not just sustainably-raised-free-range-species-specific-properly-fed people. ETA: Sorry, just took in the title of this thread. Soylent green is obviously NOT vegan. |

It has to be vegan if the people were vegans! |

Nope. We are animals, so it would be Impossible People! Which, they are. :lol: |

I'd like to be buried at sea so the crabs and other critters can at least make some use of my discarded body. |
Crazy week at work, with meetings disrupting my flow. So I ran upstairs between breakfast and lunch to get the chef to do me a double portion of bacon with three eggs scrambled in butter. I do try to time my off-menu requests for when they aren't busy, and they appreciate it.
So, this guy is kinda new, and he really finds vegans annoying. He said, "I don't mind cooking your stuff because the kitchens set up for it and I don't want you to be sick. But they get so ridiculously fussy I just say I guess I can't cook for them." |
