What Veganism is NOT

have you ever seen someone like this?:

>hey yea like I just stopped eating eggs and meat and all that

>totally cut out all the fish and milk and chicken too!

>"so anon what do you eat now?"

>I just drink soda and eat chips and crackers and-

>"but anon that's not healthy"

>What are you talking about? I had three vegan doughnuts a minute ago with no milk or meat!

>see! no animal products

This is a dangerously unhealthy assumption that many people make when they believe they are switching to being vegan. These people are what I like to call "junkfood-snackatarians"

the diet of the junkfood-snackatarian rarely ever contains any actual fruits, herbs, or vegetables and is often severely lacking in any actual nutrients, vitamins, or minerals.

Their diet's are often 100% highly refined, heavily processed junk-snack foods like chips and soda or white bread and zero calorie artificial sweetener saturated "flavor waters".

Don't make the same mistake as them!

if anyone has interesting home made recipes for body care, please post a thread!

good board but where is everybody?

>>375

sadly I don't know.

Oh wow look at that! someone else has heard about the banana babe. cool.

I think that everyone is unique and some things just work better for different people.

sometimes my body's needs change.

I might do a big vegetable day/week and then just do huge amounts of fruit only for a while and switch back. sometimes I will just do a few days of raw vegetables as well.

Usually if I'm going to eat any kind of carbs, I eat unprocessed highly complex carbs like beans and dates.

I always avoid:

>white flour

>white bread

>crackers

>white pasta

>and even some of the whiter beans/legumes as well.

>white rice

>inb4 thats racist

if I ever eat rice its wild/black/brown rice and If I ever rarely eat pasta its whole wheat brown pasta. that being said I rarely eat rice or pasta. I even try to mix it up and eat other grains like spelt, millet, and quinoa.

I focus on the majority of my food being fresh vegetables half of which I cook, raw fruits, beans, nuts, seeds. basically just plants. I end up eating 50% raw 50% cooked plant food and finish that off with an organic vegan b12 and D3 supplement from gardenoflife at wholefoods, because its literally the only ones I have ever seen selling the organic vegan versions of those vitamins.

all that being said, If I eat too much banana and fruits a few days I'm fine and switch back to vegetables being the major source of my nutrients, however if I eat alot of fruit several several days in a row I actually get really fat.

If I eat too many potatoes or high carb foods I get fat.

what's the point? obviously most vegan diets will be relatively high carb, but why force yourself to consume a certain amount of calories, like freelee suggests?

I don't know what you mean, I don't tend to do things that make me uncomfortable.

wtf else would you eat? fat? protein? why?

>website doesn't even load without javascript

>NOPE*

would you mind posting some of what Jamie Lewis says here so I can read it? might be fun.

>>247

can easily make my own with dried organic vegetable and fruit powders with more nutritional content and less crappy additives.

wait why would there be shills on cooking board?

What is there to shill (besides meat dairy and grains)

10/10

>>334

truth is that meat substitutes are usually unhealthy and taste like crap, but if someone that knows what they are doing, and think it might help them get on track, maybe they could go that route for a short while and then switch quickly to just normal fruits and vegetables that haven't been processed

> itt people who don't live with bee hives

I live with several bee hives on a large organic farm and they are far from tortured, while bee populations are declining around the world, the bees that live here are thriving and expanding. They can choose to live anywhere on the property, we don't make them live in the hives. We don't even take their honey very often, just enough to keep the hives from overflowing since they can't easily expand the walls.

Furthermore, if you are really saying vegans can't harm insects then you had better outline all the other things you're doing to avoid hurting them. I mean, a car kills thousands, even bikes kill them regularly, even just walking will regularly squash insects.

Here's the thing. Bees produce far more honey than is actually healthy for them, they do so because over millions of years they have become accustomed to other creatures eating their honey. Humans have killed almost all of the other creatures, and now bee hives left in the wild to their own devices will literally overflow with honey.

It is true that factory style farming of honey can stress the bees, if you remove too much honey it forces them to work harder to replace the honey. However, a couple of hives can easily produce enough excess honey to feed a couple of humans without imposition.
