Do angry vegans turn you against going vegan?

This book might be of use to you :-

Maybe, maybe. But at least I can keep track of my arguments; here's your straw man back:

As I said earlier, I am well aware that there are some people (die hards?) who are not put off by death blood and guts, but there are also plenty that are...or at least would be if it wasn't hidden, so I don't believe I'm overestimating or underestimating anything tbh..
 
Yet another made up bullshit strawman. That's not a claim that I have made, however now that you mention it, I think it would be worth putting to the test. Lets see how many of your alleged "millions" would accept witnessing the gore of animal slaughter and then feel good about tucking into a juicy steak.

The 'gore' bit in the slaughter of cows generally comes after it's been rendered unconscious. If I were explaining that to kids, I'd say that it looks messy but that the animal was unconscious so it did not feel it.

The pig-gassing is less easily explained away, and I don't condone that. It's a practice whose banning I would fully support. I also do not support slaughter without pre-stunning.
 
I have seen fish gutted. I have had my hand in the back of a prize winning cod’s head. I had to hold it up so my dad could take a picture. I eat fish.
tbh I think ps's ideas on this are mostly projection. He himself is repulsed by the entire business so he assumes others would be too.
 
It’s not that energy isn’t important - just that for a lot of sports, especially involving endurance, the human body likes to rely on largely burning fat (there is almost always a mixture of fat and carbs being burned).

ALL of my great (oh so great) sporting achievements have been after serious carb loading, even mad amounts of skittles.

All my shit performances have been after high fat food.

I'd go so far as to say... I could probably complete 5k quicker after 10 pints the night before than eating a high (above 50% from calories ) fat diet... like bread and butter which as we've learned is over 50% fat. Or deep fried chips.

I would run probably 2 minutes faster with the right carbs on board.

Noakes is clueless.

Couldn't put the fucking worms on a hook though! I have eaten deid fishes eyes. Chewy!


Ha, yeah. I never done the baiting. Well or the actual fishing TBH. After my dad came home from a sea fishing trip. Things like 3 (dead) conger eel in the bath waiting to be gutted. Him holding bits up and saying this is the liver etc.

Like most meat eaters on this thread, Had I / we been raised on a farm, I think we'd would be relatively sanguine about being close to butchery. Assuming humain as possible conditions.

More crap I'm afraid. As you pride yourself on being a nitpicking bit of a dick, you should learn to pay a bit more attention to detail when you're desperately trying to pick holes in my posts.

A 5k run is not an endurance sport though, and therefore of course your stored glycogen will be used as the primary energy source.

Wasn’t it 8ball’s point that endurance sports ultimately burn stored body fat because once the carb stores get depleted, the body gets its fuel from its fat reserves?
 
The problem is, vegans are morally superior to carnists and no amount of pandering to their feeilings will change that - Anyone who knowingly participates in the carnist holocaust is a murderer - Morally if not legally.

I can't dispute what works for you. For me, (I’m not an athlete or sportsperson) I train best fasted. Mixture of cardio and resistance usually.

Even small amounts of food in the few hours before a gym sesh adversely affect my performance.

Might just be how my body handles sugar, other members of my family are similar in this regard. If I take in a load of carbs I get a crash about 90 mins later. Tests show no diabetes-type issues.

It’s entirely tangential to the subject of veganism, obv.

The lurkers are kind of different to what I expected. Then again, I suppose these are the least reticent.
 
It doesn't matter about athletic performance or anything like that - Even if you have to sacrifice your own health in order to avoid participating in the carnist holocaust, that's a sacrifice worth making.
 
Although, reading some of your earlier replies to this thread, I'd say you were an "enthusiastic" participant to the carnist holocaust.
 
Don't take the mick, there are issues here that need to be resolved.

A lot of meat eaters on this thread have issues with the concept of “carnism”, but a lot of vegans on this thread seem to have not quite grasped what the word means.
