Vegans : some questions for you !!

[Diana]

Well, it's none of my business but I think it is relevant, parenting-wise. Since you have quite strict, emotional beliefs regarding the subject, I can imagine it would be a very difficult decision for him to choose otherwise. Or to ever be completely honest.

And I totally misinterpreted him being strong, scusi!

This is one of many attacks on Monica in this thread which I don't understand. As far as I can tell, she is just trying to help. :-/

Can you not give Monica and her son the benefit of the doubt? Why is it easier to believe her son is lying?

Anyone can handwave anecdotal evidence of health correlations to diet as if it was somehow meaningful advice. Worse, actual research for more than 50 years turned out to be bogus and deceitful stemming from misplaced bias against meat eating. Looks like you can fool a whole nation, for long period of time, rather easily and convincingly with utter bullshit.

Official results from statistics and studies can be based on what you want the answers to be. (I did not theorize this.) And aren't there many more levels than just physical? In addition, yes, it's easy to fool what I call "the herd." Media has anesthetized most people. But these are people who have to have someone else tell them what to think or do.

Heart disease, for example, may have more to do with emotions--heart wounds from unresolved emotional trauma--than diet. To study diet and link it to heart disease is a very linear, limited, 3D perspective.

In my own case, I am vegetarian and personally know many vegetarians, vegans, and raw-fooders. Some have been for decades. I do not know any who are unhealthy and indeed find them vibrant and youthful. This does not mean there are no unhealthy vegetarians. Some people do not eat in a healthy way, and many are not healthy and balanced emotionally or mentally. In these cases it wouldn't matter whether they were omnivorous or vegetarian.
