What the health documentary

[ErikR]

Did any of you guys see this documentary ? I feel like it's so one sided for the pro vegans. I know some of it makes sense , but I want to know what you guys think.

 

[German]

Well I am a vegan. That is not so much a scientific doc as one man's journey. If you want actual science watch FOODMATTERS and FOOD INC. Both will scare the living shit out of you and they should.

I saw food inc. it is scary. I just don't buy some of this one. A women gets off all meds in two weeks of going vegan. They put all animal protein in one category saying it's the cause of diabetes. That all animal protein causes heart disease. I get the part on prosessed meats. That egg yolks are the same as smoking.

 

[gr8whitetrukker]

-"Egg yolks are the same as smoking", LO fuckin L
-Meat is NOT the cause of diabetes
-Its physically impossible for MEAT to cause heart disease

 

[German]

I must have missed the egg yolks are the same as smoking part.

Prosessed meats. Sorry. That it's a carcinogen. They make the argument that sugar and carbs don't cause diabetes. That animal protein does.

Common sense would say otherwise.
If one wants to become a vegan so be it. I dont care. Their choice.
But this is garbage

Was ok watch bias but not bad watch

 

[German]

Like I said I'm a vegan not an asshole. Personal choice for personal reasons. I eat real food not shit from a box or bag.

I have been vegan for seven years and it's more for my conscious then health reasons.
Though the health benefits are obviously there and there are studies to prove it.
I have no problem with meat eaters.
In fact I feel sorry for them because in a way there cowards. I think meat eaters should have to take there children to slaughter house and show there children where there food comes from. Then let them make there own choices. I also think the children should be informed that more then likely there meat product contains fecal matter.
Yumm.. I'm not sure why these kind of statements get meat eaters worked up?
These are the facts!!

I'm also a vegan... I switch to a vegan diet for many reasons one of concern was I had stomach issues. Heartburn, acid reflux etc.. once I went vegan all my symptoms went away in two days.. my doctor even had me taking anti acids and what not people usually don't look to diet when they have problems they looks to medication that will mask problems and eventually cause more of their own.

-"Egg yolks are the same as smoking", LO fuckin L

And yes fatty diets are associated with heart disease and diabetes.. fat blocks the cells from storing glucose then in turn causes diabetes. This is why you never see a diabetic vegan.. I don't go out of my way and tell people they're going to die or what not and gets all these diseases but you have to admit America has a problem and it's not getting any better.

I agree, but they should also show both sides of the coin on how crops get sprayed with insecticides.

I agree with that, this is why I always make a concern to buy organic vegetables so you know no pesticides have been used. But even though these pesticides are bad the risk factor isn't as big as meat and dairy. You just have to be conscious and know what you're doing I know too many people who go vegan for a week and end up quiting and saying they felt like shit but ate Oreos and pringles. So it's just being smart and doing your research. The problem is how the meat is made, all the additives they put in things like dairy and processed meats and what they're feeding the livestock, plus the amount of meat we have. The healthiest people in the world who have the longest life expectancy eat 95% plant based and eat meat as a delicacy on special occasions. But you are right with the chemicals, getting me all worked up

Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food - Hippocrates. The father of modern medicine. All food is either going to make you well or kill you slowly. This has been known since the dawn of man. You cannot argue facts and scientific research. But most will anyway.

Well put.

I love the part how this MD saying pretty much you don't need protein to be big. Look at gorillas, all they eat are plants. Lol.

 

[German]

Protein is a must brother. He was talking about the source of the protein. There are many sources other than meat.

All of which are incomplete. Minus soy

Ahhh gotcha.
