Involuntary vegan (health reasons) since 2018 here. I thought that I would lose al muscle as a vegan but I haven't noticed any difference there. What I did notice was vastly increased stamina and much better temperature regulation (not bothered by cold in Wyoming of heat in Florida). This is purely anecdotal, do with it as you wish.

I just happen to eat a vegan diet because I travel a lot and refuse to pay people to do things to animals that I wouldn't feel morally comfortable doing myself. Maybe if I settle down somewhere, I would find a farm that allows me to personally verify the ethical treatment of the animals. I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything, though. I'm in great shape, not deficient in anything, and am routinely assumed to be 10 years younger than I am.

From my experience, the people who think meat is required to be healthy usually have the worst diets and are addicted to eating the most low quality processed garbage meat available. It's never people in good shape that go on and on about how crucial meat is.

I’m really looking forward to cultured meats for similar reasons. I take no issue with one animal (human) hunting another wild animal to eat its meat for sustenance - that’s just biology bro - but our farming practices have just become insanely abhorrent with regards to animal ethics. I can’t wait until some bioengineer makes my minced meat in a lab with no animal cruelty involved because while I hate torturing animals, I love me some meat.

Sounds like the health reasons were good then

I don't really have anything witty to say, but I do just to want to comment and say I really love this.

[–] Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 months ago

Wait...

Our comments are supposed to be witty‽

I've got to make some calls.

Gonna have to stop all the cows from eating grass and getting swole off it, the grass worked really hard to make that glucose from sunlight and your going to take those gains away from the grass?!?!!?? No intelligent life to be found in that picture.

That's a hot take I'd expect to hear from a 12 year old.

No, the person is right. It's realy fucked up to eat and kill another sentient beeing to feed yourself, if your could just as easy not do so.

So you think grass and cows are comparable here? I'd be careful to judge others people's intelligence if I where you.

Grass don't have muscles. Checkmater hater. Better go train your brain muscles.

Meat-eating gains are stolen valor apparently.
