^so from this diagram over here, select the combenation of vegetebles that make a balanced meal?

well whats better?

a) living just on vegetebles and dying at the age of seven?

or

b) eating what ever you want and dying at the age of fourty?

^i dont diss your eating habits so dont diss my writing habits.

 

lol i think you just did.
my dad ate whatever he wanted, actually he ate more meat than anything else and he died when he was 48.
Paul McCartney, aka Super Vegan, is still alive at 64! and healthy!
by the way, fourty is a REALLY early age to die at.

 

the oldest person who ever lived was a vegan..go figure...

 

knock on wood!

 

Lol, your diagram is so laughable...everyone go and look. Its almost cute...


As for our protein sources etc, please go and do some research. I mean it. You could be enlightened. My soya/legume/veg based diet includes a vast, vast selection of other foods too...hey, as my boyfriend (a relatively recent vegan) said to me today, ive never eaten so well...

As for dying after 7 years...tell that to the worlds oldest vegan and also to a large number of people here, including myself. If your theory is right, 2007 will be the death of me

Xx

 

^what?

^living on vegetebles is alright. i know i dissed vigan living in my last post, but i was kind of forced to do that (if you know what i mean). all i wanted was some input on some questions about being a vigan. i think that people should appriciate questions about there life style because that way they can share there beliefs with other people. that way maybe other people might like to adopt there beliefs.

instead a lot of people on this thread insulted me. i think that if a lot of the people on this thread knew whether they are living safe or not by being a vigan then they wouldnt get so angry. they would explane how and what they eat to ensure that there way of living is healthy. i usually get angry when i am unsure about something and not when i am very sure about something.

as for my diagram, it was meant to be funny. i was dissed by someone so i dissed that person back.

sorry about your father. i was joking when i said that i only eat meat. i only wrote that because i was bored. i do eat vegetebles a lot.

 

The problem with using a medium like an internet forum for that kind of "joking" is that *sarcasm doesn't come across very well*. It's one thing to politely pose questions about the healthiness of the decision to go veg*an. But what you were doing came across as just trying to instigate a conflict. Just saying, you might want to keep it in mind.

 

look at the following post:

^this is my first post on this thread. it isnt sachastic. however this is the reaction that i got:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

does what? what are you even talking about?

i am not in the thread, i am replaying to it. maybe i wouldnt need to keep coming here if you stopped hurling insults at me like a drunkard.

î wasnt debating i was just asking a question. if you cant answer the question just ignore it.

 

in other words please find a new board to post on..we dont need arguments we are truly interested in the topics, not flaming.

 

^(looks @ photo). vegeterian?...not you my friend.

 

Back to the original subject, I've tried the veggie thing a few times. I want to make a more lasting commitment to vegiterianism. Where can I begin?

Peace and love

 

Right now, I want to change my ways 1.) because of the bad karma brought on by contributing to the death of an animal and 2.) live a healthier lifestyle. My dad is plagued by high cholestrol and high blood pressure and I don't want to reach the same fate. I want control over my health and help save a few animals too. One of my obsticales is my lack of resources. I have a microwave and a frig and that's about it. I live in a dorm and do my shopping at the on-campus C-store. What are some ways to get back on track?

Peace and love

 

Thanks drumminmama, for your helpful advice. I will try to get groceries when my parents get here next week!

Peace and love

 

I live in Bloomington, IN but I don't have a car and after the snow, well, the streets are in no shape to be walked. The only walking I do is on campus. At least the snow is shoveled off the sidewalks! Bloomington is not the town for pedistrians, except for the downtown area.

Peace and love

 

nobody ever said there was such a thing as ALL vegans and vegetarians weighing 90 pounds....just like saying people who eat meat all weigh 500 pounds....
