Do angry vegans turn you against going vegan?

I suppose it depends what sort of physique you need / want.
For myself I aspire to dancer / cyclist / swimmer / kayaker / diver ...
I know people who are far more muscle-bound than I would ever remotely want to be - though I suspect it's way more about resistance training than necking protein shakes.
As I think I mentioned upthread, if you do a fair bit of aerobic exercise needing calories to fuel it, you probably don't need to focus much on protein-density, but I've made a change recently from grain to beans
 
Sign of the times.
A male colleague remarks on the visibility of the 12 kg I've lost and younger male one says "so you've gone keto then ? "
Perhaps it means I'm seen as a proper manly man ... :hmm:
I was quick to assure him that my diet is based around Brussels sprouts and beans .. (wish they'd actually been soy so I could have said so).
I will make it a minor challenge to find out if he's the third Peterson fanboi in the team - so far there's a 50yo one who thankfully isn't a Tory, the first guy in this post is 40 and a rather unpleasantly screwed-up one (had to agree never to discuss politics at work) and this new guy is early 20s.....

Kill kids, imprison peoppe, not animals.

Do the right thing and go vegan today.

It’s a horrific appropriation of veganism in my opinion. Veganism was a movement founded by anti-war peace activists. The person who coined the term - Donald Watson - described the idea motivating it as opposition to the exploitation of all sentient life. The official vegan society definition states that it’s about avoiding exploitation and cruelty to animals. For me it’s always been about opposition to violence against the innocent.

Humans are animals too. Humans are sentient beings too. To describe an army of occupation who bomb and terrorise civilians as ‘the most vegan army in the world’ is a perversion of the idea.
 
A woman cooks bacon in her vegan daughters home! I would have shown her the door TBF and I eat meat.

Even as a vegetarian, I'd be pretty royally pissed off if someone showed me this kind of disrespect. Maybe it's somewhat ironic to admit, but if someone asked, I'd almost certainly not say "no", but it's pretty high-handed to do it without even the pretence of seeking permission.

Oh, and you don't "discover" someone's been frying bacon - the olfactory evidence is there for a good couple of hours afterwards. Not having to be around that smell is one of the little pleasures of having moved into a 100% vegetarian household :cool:
