Vegan 20 years. It is no big deal... if you make a logical mental shift then it is very easy.
I never once missed dairy or animal dead bodies.
Eat healthy vegan foods though and not overprocessed stuff. I have eaten edamane tofu etc fir 20 years and 0 problems as a man.
Actually there is so much food to choose from if you open your eyes and not believe the usual drama from meat eaters.
I am vegan for animals and my health. I am not a breeder so really don't care about world's future for your kids. If you really cared for the environment you would become vegan before moaning about almonds.

Any decent vegan would leave the almonds too...it takes a billion litres of water to make a litre of almond milk. Read up on it.
bacon tho
Anything that has been "-ism"ed is probably too hip/vogue in society to care about anymore.

Distance running is so dependent on having adequate iron and hemoglobin levels, among other things. The catch 22 is that running actually places a drain on the body that can lower these levels. Anyone who foregoes eating meat is not providing the body with the building blocks it needs. For a runner, this deficiency is exaggerated to an even greater extent. A runner who eats a vegan diet probably won't be doing it very long much like a car without fuel won't make it too far down the road. I have never been vegan but at times when I merely have had lower meat intake I could feel a difference. If you ask your body to train hard you need to support it with adequate nutrition.
This is absolute rubbish. There is no scientific evidence that meat is needed as optimal nutrition part.
I am vegan myself and have no problems with hgb/hct levels. I'm not elite, just around 16:30 5k/ 34:50 10k (started running in late 20s) but I know an 1:07 half guy that is vegan for several years and have PRed when switched from meat eater.

We are talking about veganism not vegetarianism here.

So we should trust the anecdotal account of an anonymous poster and not multiyear, randomized controlled scientific studies?
