Any Raw Vegans in da house??!?!

[thuja]

I think that eating a vegan diet can be healthy, as long as people educate themselves on it. It's all up to personal choice. If someone wants to eat all cardboard and nothing else, thats fine by me. If someone wants to only eat squirel I don't care either.

The only time I have ever had a problem with Veganism was when I read a story where 2 vegan parents starved their child to death.

I know 99.999999% of vegans wouldn't do that, and this is an extreme case, but that's just unreal.

I personally try to eat lots of whole grains and about twice as many fruits and vegetables as meat. I still eat meat every day and will continue to.

such determination.

Lots of vegan parents can and do keep their offspring alive.

That's a relief.

I'm 24yo male. Been vegan since 2002 and vegetarian since 1997. I'm not raw vegan though. I bodybuild and take protein powder. And yes, I'm vegan for ethical reasons and I think Animal Rights is a logical extension of human rights, as I have proven in my previous posts on the issue here http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=53296&page=20 .

So if I accidentally step on an ant I should be charged with negligent manslaughter? Or do you only believe in rights for animals that are cute? And what about plant rights? Does a plant not have a right to life? Just how far up the taxonomic tree of life do you allow rights to? Are human beings the reference point?

What type of protein powder do you use?

Your body needs all the poison and hormones it gets from red meat and stuff to keep your immune system strong. You can't fool millions of years of evolution! Eat enough of that soy stuff and you'll start quoting Chairman Mao!

You don't have to cry if you step on an ant, but you don't have to try and step on them either. Whenever there's a fly or a spider in the house, I catch it with a glass and a piece of paper and put it outside.

why do people always act like dicks as soon as a question about veganism pops up? No one asked whether you think animals are delicious.

A little tact and respect never hurt anyone.

I know. Everytime people bring up veg or veganism people who eat meat tend to act all hardcore and tough.

 

[armand61685]

Makes me feel superior that I can mock an idea and it's supporters.

Yes, sometimes I have to cry myself to sleep, out of remorse, but... it's an addiction. *cries*

Like everyone else has to us ron paul supporters?

I eat whatever I feel like eating. How do I balance that out? I ride a bicycle. A lot.

 

[Kevlar]

Good for you, Joe.

 

[JosephTheLibertarian]

Good for you, Joe.

Sarcasm?

I'm posting in here because I want to connect with people who are also trying
the raw food diet, or who are curious about it. I'm not here to deflect
comments from people who have no interest in raw foods whatsoever, so
would you guys please go make a "vegans r dumb" thread and post in that?"
Thanks.
