Oh noes! Vegans monetizing their veganism are getting caught eating a balanced diet
I had no idea such drama lurked there. https://www.thedailybeast.com/vegan-...diets?ref=home
In a Jan. 14 video titled “Why I’m No Longer Vegan,” YouTuber Bonny Rebecca set the tone for a mass of defections to come: rambling, half-hour-long videos in which the former herbivores apologize to their fans and breathlessly explain the health issues that caused them to start eating meatKnow of a pair of Fischer Ranger 107Ti 189s (new or used) for sale? PM me.

Practically speaking, vegans typically don't care about a little honey. And vegan + fish (which I realize isn't nearly vegan) is somewhat common these days. Two of the more prominent vegan health gurus, that is, on the medical side, Campbell and Ornish, are perfectly cool about adding in some occasional fish to an overall plant-based diet. This sort of thing is no more remarkable than to learn that some practicing Jews eat prawns once in a while.
Of course, this is really about YouTube stars targeting an interest segment without being the real deal that they claim to be. Adopting a persona to make a buck in the media biz, what else is new.

After serious discussion with vegan and veggie friends I've done some deep thinking on the subject of life, different levels of sentient beings, and the circle of life. I don't consider any life, bugs, plants, cows, dogs, cats, people any more or less sentient or civilized than any other being. Almost EVERY being either kills other beings or feeds off and gets life energy from other living beings or recently dead beings. Here's the thing I stopped on. The only category of beings that DON'T kill other living beings or overtly feed off recently dead other beings is PLANTS (except for a few exceptions like Venus fly traps and similar). Plants live off sunlight, water, and C02 mostly.. but do also require nutrients and minerals in the soil from recently dead life. Still it's PLANTS who are the farthest removed from killing or eating recently dead other living beings. So, how can folks justify killing plants over killing other beings and claim higher moral ground? I think it all boils down to some folks drawing a distinction between life they can look in the eyes of versus life they can't look in the eye

If I was hungry enough, I would eat a vegan.

If you cant eat animal protein that someone else killed, I suspect they would have a hard time eating a human.
Besides, in what every cannibalistic scenario we have entered, I suspect most vegans would have either died or abandon their values long before I am a potential menu item.

I won't be around very long at all, but I take solace that the largest TRex ever found, which was this week, the fucker was hudge, they named "Scotty".
Because, the 2 guys split a bottle of Scotch the night before.
Probably belongs in the cool science thread, but, ...evs.

I got it, right off. Thanks, Mang.
Maybe that wasn't the right choice of words. Oops again.

Plants are just as shitty to each other as animals are. They just do it so slowly that the animals don't notice. Plants employ full on mechanical, chemical, and biological warfare against each other competing for resources. They trick bacteria and animals to do their bidding, they rip and tear their enemies apart, they employ herbicides to defend and defeat competitors. Brutal fuckers those plants.
