vegetarians

Also, and I'm just curious, if you find yourself having to take all of these vitamin, mineral and protein supplements in order to maintain your health as a Vegan, would that not lead you to believe that you are missing something in your diet? And that your diet is, perhaps, incomplete?

I am an omnivore. I eat lots of fruits and vegetables and whole grains, I eat lean cuts of beef, chicken, turkey and ham. I drink milk and eat cheese. I get all of the vitamins, minerals and nutrients I need from the food I eat alone. This kind of diet seems healthiest to me - everything in balance.

good for you, who is asking you to stopi am a vegetarian, i don't take any vitamins or supplementsnever have had a single measure out of wack or even moderately low - i train hard, work hard and party hard and animals haven't been raised in the killed in the processthat seems healthiest to me

how long should this healing process take? I've got a team mate that is a strict vegitarian. He also wont eat any food with high fructose corn syrup(surprisingly that has eliminated nearly all bagels from any bagel shop) or partialy hydrogenated oils in it, and also wont eat anything that is high in sodium. He's been eating like this for years. And literaly 3 or 4 times a week he has to stop durring the run and crap (sometimes more than once in a single run). And he, along with most of the team, craps right before every run. Then imediatly after the run (even if he went durring the run), he's back on the can. Cant even last an hour away from a bathroom. Not only is he always craping, but it takes him forever. Every single day we have to wait for him becasue he's the last out of the bathroom, regardless of how early he got there. When he has to stop durring the run, he usually tells us to just go ahead, because the wait would be 20 mintues. He recently got one of our guys to switch to his diet, and the new guy now has the exact same issues, but didnt before. I'm just saying, that can't be right for your body.

Care to source more than one website? The benefits of a vegetarian and vegan diet are well-known, published in many places, and hard to dispute. No one said we should eat like apes--as humans we have more highly evolved brains. Some of us tend to use them more, when we consider what we are putting into our body as fuel.

Why are vegans like some kind of freakish religious fanatics? Not a week passes that I don't have to see one of these fanatics spouting off some new age guru's tabloid trash about how we evolved from apes and therefore should eat like monkeys. Well, the bad news is the only people who look like monkeys are the 'hardcore' vegans. Get over yourselves you are going to croak just like the fatties. But I'm sure the 7-15 extra years you are supposedly going to earn will be real fun in the nursing home. Over the course of your lives you'll probably waste 7-15 years making your special vegan meals.[/quote]
