is veganism a meme or is it actually bad (health/longevity wise, fuck morals) to eat meat?
>>
veganism (no red meat, no fish, no eggs, no diary) is fucking retarded and you basically depend on supplements to be healthy. I bet supplement companies love to shill the ideology.

Red meat isn't very good for you. Apparently that's more processed red meat though?

It's also carcinogenic which obviously isn't good. I think chicken can be pretty healthy if you cook it right, and fish is probably the healthiest kind of meat unless you're eating tons of higher food chain stuff like tuna where you have to worry about mercury.

Bit of a stretch. Vegetarians and vegans are in general going to be more conscientious about what they eat, but that doesn't imply all meat = instant death.

Not necessarily. I'm a vegetarian and there are days where I have to work to hit my protein goals esp if I don't have access to a fridge or forget to buy cottage cheese/eggs/yogurt. Vegan lifters have to worry about protein even more than vegetarians do because your body doesn't process plant proteins as well.

I'd agree that vegetarianism/veganism can be pretty healthy IF you are still eating the right macros, though.

80% of omnivores are B12 deficient.
Vegetarians are aware that the "standard western diet" does not provide enough b12 (because of how food and hygiene are addressed nowadays) and they drink fortified activated almonds milk or b12 supplements.

I've been trying a vegetarian diet recently.

I've not seen one thing to suggest plant protein is "inferior." Yes, many plant proteins have an incomplete amino acid profile, but this is resolved using multiple food sources.

As far as B12 goes, though, I don't know whats up with that.
>>

How do you produce enough T on a low fat diet?
>>
>>37525648
I don't care about low carbs that much. 100% of my carbs come from unrefined or "whole" sources. When I cut I just count calories. My macros on a cut are 40~45% carbs, 25~30% proteins, 25~30% (non-trans) fats

Being vegans pre easy.
Usually have 4 pancakes in the morning with maple syrup.
Then before my workout I eat Green Veggies, Tofu, Brown rice with any sauce of my choice.
I usually have pasta's for dinner and then I snack throughout the day on smoothies, fruit and vegan snacks.

I take creatine, whey protein and a mens multivitamin (just to be safe). supplementing b12 is a meme also, only if youre b12 deficient you should be taking it.

Also in 8 months I've gained around 10-14 kg lean mass and I also get to eat pizza on the regular and not have to worry about it.

Plant sources of protein generally are less digestible, for one thing. The latter two seem to also show that your gains are better from milk protein compared to soy protein.

How is it unhealthy? Strictly health speaking, apart from the lack of certain vitamins that the body traditionally gets from meat sources, there's literally no downside and arguably a lot of upsides.

I think no one will argue against the convenience and ease of building muscle on a carnivorous diet, it's not really disputed that meat and egg protein has a higher biological value and hence far more effective for stimulating hypertrophy.

But in terms of health, I've never really seen any genuine upsides to eating meat. Then again you do correctly mention that most vegans don't do it for health reasons, for me personally the health reasons are second nature.

after everything there is still an animal that lives a horrible life and dies a horrible death for your selfish pleasure. the least you can do is reduce your meat consumtion to once or twice a week and get your meat from a reliable source. also the meat replacement stuff tastes pretty good if not better than the real thing.

8.3/10 24yo 140lb vegan chick co-worker was skinny fat a year ago. a year later, now she weighs less but looks even fatter and she has fat ass arms that stand out. on a good day 6/10. i paid attention to her today when she came by and her face looked aged like a smokers. she doesn't smoke and barely drinks. she works out... at times. her diet is fucking her shit up! she just maintains her current looks because of her current age. she and other chick co-workers make it seem like she is one of those true vegans because she has been one for like 5 years and she eats a variety of vegan dishes.

that bitch needs to get medical attention. even though no one talks about this stuff, a lot of people of all ages ignore things that should be standard for them. making appointments to get tests done on you can be essential to prevent things that may fuck your health up later on.

That depends fully on how much money you are willing to spend on the meat.

I barely eat meat myself, but veganism is retarded when there exists a much better alternative, vegetarianism. My diet consists mainly of whole milk, oats, peanuts, beans, quark and whey. I've had no problem getting huge gains out of such a simple and cheap diet.

Slave trade was justified under that logic fyi. Imagine if a woman gave birth, then locked her baby in a basement then neglected and beat her before killing her at 10 years old. That couldn't be justified under the grounds that the baby only existed because of the mother.

>>37528809
>An animal that wouldn't even exist if it wasn't for the purpose of being eaten.
i think not existing is a far better alternative

>That depends fully on how much money you are willing to spend on the meat.
i agree, id rather spend double the money and only eat meat twice a week instead of every day if i knew how the process of growing the animal and killing is handled

im not for full on veganism myself, but for moderation. But its hard when you see people who literally say animals are inferior therefore we can do whatever we want and they just dont give a fuck, at this point how am i supposed to take you serious as a human.

All those I've met that cared about "being moral" and "always doing the right thing" were complete fucking faggots. Be selfish, look out for yourself. Else there's a good chance you're turning yourself into an effeminate doormat that cares about making every one else but him happy.

if you know where the meat comes from and how it is handled then i dont have a problem, but dont say you dont care, youre in a position where you dont have to care but im sure you see the problem if you were in a different position.

>>37528872
why do you have to see it so black and white. animals are inferior and sometimes they die to make place for people, there is a huge difference between murdering animals in the cheapest way possible in the millions and murdering them accidentally or to make space for humans, its sad but in most of these cases i dont think you can justify taking the side of the animals. and of course there are exceptions when huge landscapes get destroyed to build farms or something, but at least these animals did have a relatively good life and they only die once if you know what i mean. i mean is it so hard to realize that justifying some animal deaths is not like saying that they are worthless and you shouldn't give a fuck in any way. what is wrong with moderation? is it really such a bad idea to reduce the meat industry from 100 billion murders per year and terrible conditions to 30 billion with great conditions?

It was forced to drop "American" from its name so it changed to "Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics."

are you saying they lost sponsorsship of Mcdonalds and coca cola and THEN started shilling for veganism? first of all god forbid a dietary institution losing sponsorship from fucking coca cola, holy shit if hey really sponsored them how is that not your arguments against that institution, a fucking institution about nutrition takes money from coca cola. anyway wouldnd it make more sense that they "shilled" for veganism with "facts" long before the sponsored dropped them, doesnt that make more sense?

>According to pure vegetarian ideologists, people consuming vegetarian diet have better health and live longer than nonvegetarians, because persons consuming milk, dairy products, meat, eggs and fish are at health risk. In fact the most healthy people in Europe are inhabitants of Iceland, Switzerland and Scandinavia, consuming great amounts of food of animal origin. Meta-analysis of several prospective studies showed no significant differences in the mortality caused by colorectal, stomach, lung, prostate or breast cancers and stroke between vegetarians and "health-conscious" nonvegetarians. In vegetarians, a decrease of ischemic heart disease mortality was observed probably due to lower total serum cholesterol levels, lower prevalence of obesity and higher consumption of antioxidants. Very probably, an ample consumption of fruits and vegetables and not the exclusion of meat make vegetarians healthful.

Government decisions are based on politics, not on science. On the other hand, if you read the WHO diet recommendations (fact sheet 394) they do not explicitly recommend any intake of animal products. Instead they stress that everybody should eat more plant foods.

Antiscience in governments is pretty widespread. Related to nutrition e.g. the long lasting ban on stevia from Europe (probably based on economical reasons, the same law would also have prevented import of kiwis if they had not already been sold before). But also the position towards organic farming (which is not necessary beneficial for the environment), genetic engineering (which could be), use of pesticides like glyphosate (which is necessary at least in some amount), climate change denialism, vaccine opposition etc.

Everyone should cut their consumption of meat and other animal products, for health reasons and environmental reasons. Does not mean you have to go completely vegan here and now.
>>
>>37529151
That's only a macro recommendation. It does not advocate any specific diet. choosemyplate.gov (besides being aimed at retarded americans who can't guess that eating McShit 24/7 is bad) has specific guidances and pages for vegetarians too.

none of the posts quoted in >>37529064 implied that. Actually, one of those posts was suggesting to leave out labels like "vegetarian" and "vegan", so handicapped individuals like you wouldn't be triggered, and the other one simply referenced the suitability of a vegetarian diet.

>I'm retarded
No need to confirm that any further.
Any advisory board suggest that a vegetarian (strict or not) diet is entirely feasible and not deficient. No one in the post quoted in >>37529064 mentioned advisory boards in charge of suggesting the complete adoption of a vegetarian (strict or not) diet; rather, it was underlined the general scientific consensus is in the direction of a switch to a plant-based diet, or at least a diet "more" plant-based. As referenced in the quoted >>37529001 and recursively in >>37525463
You're also completely missing the context in which >>37529001 has been written.

No one ever suggested that a vegan diet is recommended by the "US gov". Advisory boards worldwide recognize that
- a vegetarian (strict or not) diet is feasible and won't lead to any deficit
- no matter your diet regimen, a switch to a "more" plant-based is just healthier
and there's plenty of (cited) scientific publications supporting this position.
The "US gov" doesn't support any specific diet.

>vegan diet
What you're referring to is the so-called "strict vegetarian" diet. Vegans adopt this particular subset of a vegetarian diet; strict vegetarians are not necessarily vegans, since being vegan involves much more than refining a diet.

Your attempts at shifting goals are pathetic. Nobody ever argued that the the "US gov" has ever recommended a specific diet, the "US gov" recommends just to eat less shitty food with that initiative, aimed at morbidly obese americans who don't even know what's the difference between carbs, fats and proteins. Nowhere in that site the "US gov" supports any kind of diet, it just supports a deeper attention at the macro-nutrients and a wider use of fibres and veggies, perfectly on sync with the post >>37529001 you tried to argued against in >>37529064
It includes tips for any kind of vegetarian and references http://www.cnpp.usda.gov/sites/default/files/dietary_guidelines_for_americans/AppendixE-3-3-Vegetarian.pdf for both lacto-ovo vegetarians and "vegans".
Unironically, you posted a source that not only was not in contrast with the post you tried to attack, but it absolutely agree with that.

Furthermore, the position of the "US gov" is perfectly in sync with the position of worldwide academia you're inanely dismissing with that "shill" strawman blabbering; your sources actually agree with >>37529001 .

Did your parents drop you on your head when you were an infant? Or is it genetic?

This thread =

Omnivores being correct and
Vegan cucks getting btfo and never ever providing any logical information.
Every fucking vegan thread. Vegan is a meme. Chicken and red meat is great but protein is shit without a carb fueled routine to encourage muscle growth in the first place. I've never once met a vegan that was not a gigantic insufferable douche. It's almost part of being vegan. I don't agree with slaughterhouses either. I could literally raise my own animals for consumption if i had the space i eat that little. You also probably use animal products every day so you're all nothing but faggy hypocrites .

Being vegan is NOT healthier in anyway. You are in the same group of intelligence as atkins or gluten free diet followers.

But you're here to just push your own agenda in a no different way than vegan "activists".

He is right tho. A vegan diet isn't taken seriously by any respected gov because it's not complete. Humanity cannot thrive on veganism.
