Dottleshead ★ Posted June 17, 2019 Author Share #5 Posted June 17, 2019 I'm vveganish for vone reason -- and it's a good one -- my heart health. That and I have lost weight. But I am not a purist. We drive by a BBQ place that has amazing ribs. I always have that conversation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get all the "health" benefits from simply being flexitarian or pescatarian or whatever you want to call a focused vegetarian diet with moderate amounts of animal (fish or dairy) protein.

Period. So there really isn't much to discuss. Maybe just that you stop using the term incorrectly (as a description for you)? An example is if someone eats ONE gluten free meal (or a dozen), they aren't all of a sudden one of the gluten-free folks out there. Same with eating some meals that a vegan might also eat doesn't mean you are a vegan or have embraced a vegan lifestyle. Embrace what you truly are!

Dottleshead ★ Posted June 17, 2019 Author Share #11 Posted June 17, 2019 You and Prophet need to hang out. First, I am happy to piss you purists off. Second, 90% vegan is well 90%. Last time I checked, anything over 50% was a majority. So I could give a rip about any elitist club. Because if you and your friends are going to be cuntish about it -- I will gladly tell you all to eat a burger. If you're doing it for religious reasons, rock and roll, but count me as one to consider you a quack. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dottleshead ★ Posted June 17, 2019 Author Share #12 Posted June 17, 2019 ^^^ yes, while there is some transient feelings involved, most of my previous commitment was 90% jerk. I accept that I am a vegan jerk. Just not 100% like you vegan purist jerks. Oh but if I accept your definition, I am neither a vegan nor a jerk. Probably just a dinner. I mean sinner.

But I think the Mediterranean diet is a great choice. I generally lean that way, but do still eat a good bit of dairy and almost zero red meat - or any "meat" other than seafood.

Ok, so minus the dairy (maybe some creamer and some occasional cheese), do you actually refer to your diet as something? Because I don't. 100% not vegan. 90% vegan.

I love dark AND milk chocolate. I'll NEVER be a vegan. I love salmon and tuna and other types of seafood. Sardines, anchovies, shrimp, etc are also quite tasty, so high or low on the seafood food chain is also from where I don't mind eating. I had a ham sandwich and some bacon the other day. Why? Because otherwise it was going into the trash. Wasting food like that is about the worst kind of food waste. So, eat first and foremost for health, but also don't let the forest get lost in the trees. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randomguy Posted June 17, 2019 Share #38 Posted June 17, 2019 Well, dammit, if you just had a steak for dinner, that isn't many calories at all. Nobody says you have to have mashed potatoes or fries or dessert. Just eat 500 calories of chicken for dinner or somesuch, and enjoy some damn dark meat. Chicken breast is a lifeless thing. Most nutritionists are stupid, question little, and are overweight as all hell. It is a profession for people who have little intellectual curiosity, from what I have seen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
