'Vegan diets are healthier and safer for dogs' says The Guardian about University of Winchester survey

[WouldBe]

So you could design and build a helicopter?

The avionics definitely.

 

[Magnus McGinty]

The avionics definitely.

Instruments aren’t much use without the machine they’re aiding.

 

[Magnus McGinty]

The avionics definitely.

Do you think ddraig or spooky frank could give better advice on avionics than you could?

 

[Spymaster]

The avionics definitely.

You could get SpookyFrank to build the rest. He's our resident fighter pilot, surgeon, and cycling instructor. He must have been an airframe tech too at some point!

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Any way I would have thought protein was more important for rebuilding tissue than fat and you can get protein from a veg diet.

How about you leave it eh?

Mouthing off when you don't really know.

 

[JimW]

Shipman wasn't a bad doctor though. In fact he was very highly considered by professional colleagues and patients alike.

It's safe to say however, that for various reasons he is not best remembered for the quality of his practice of medicine.

Bet he ate meat.

 

[JimW]

Probably had a dog he fed on butcher's scraps too.

Maybe I could just accuse wouldbe of lying!
I know what a transponder is and who Garmin are so maybe I know more than he does?

 

[Spymaster]

Not sure.

Jeffrey Dahmer certainly did.

 

[JimW]

Not sure.

Jeffrey Dahmer certainly did.

Dog owner too? Evidence is stacking up here.

You could try. I can always post a photo of my avionics cert.

Sorry. Just pointing out that shit science is shit science.

I did do my work experience at 22 squadron search and rescue. If scrubbing salt off of a Sea King counts as being an 'airframe tech' then yes, you'd be right.

Not sure about fighter pilot. I trained to fly a bulldog when I was in the air cadets but those things would lose a fight with a seagull.

Pretty sure I never claimed to be a surgeon either, although I do know that porky pies are an excellent source of protein.

I could post a photo of my Mr Universe certificate.

I do have an interest in it as a flight simmer. I couldn’t build a transponder though.

Different specialist subjects. That would be like asking a gp to design a hip joint for a geriatric with bone cancer in the hip.

You wouldn't need to. Most of the kit is off the shelf. It's more a matter of which of hundreds of white wires goes where.

Do you even remember my original question and your original answer?

I literally said you should build a helicopter and you replied saying I picked the wrong question as you were an avionics technician!

Which was in response to my cousin not knowing she was pregnant. Something a GP who deals with pregnancy on at least a weekly basis should have been able to work out.

I reckon you got your first aider badge in scouts too which is how you can call me a liar with a certain authority.

I had no choice but to call you a liar, my doctor ordered me to do it.

I like how this thread is entirely on track and in no way massively off topic.

It's a lot more interesting now than it was, tbf.

Shitters gotta shit

Yes. A veggie one.

If you think a veggie diet is inherently unhealthy you really are a fucking idiot.

*post corrected

My sister was instructed by doctors to eat lots of meat and cheese at one point and to avoid carbs as much as possible. At the time she was attempting to grow back parts of her feet that had been eaten away by an infection. Maybe a vegan equivalent could have been possible. Don't know, but it's quite unlikely given her other health problems at the time. She needed fat!

So it's not quite true that everyone can easily follow a healthy vegan diet. Most people can, but some can't.

Shall I start telling stories of people who have been advised to cut back/cut out meat from their diets for obscure - and unverified - medical reasons to ensure this thread maintains its heady levels of whataboutery?

Or maybe posting up articles about people who turned vegan and saw massive improvements in their health? Because that happens too and it's also got absolutely fuck all with dogs and their diets.

Fuck off.

 

[editor]

Fuck off.

The sound of an argument well and truly lost.

It’s a bit off when people report health advice given to their loved ones to cast doubt on that advice. Or imply the poster is lying.
Anyway it’s possible to have a healthy vegan diet just takes more attention. It’s not for me but good luck to those who it works. A bit more complicated when it comes to pet animals.
