Interview With A Recovering Vegan

@VeganRecoveringThank you @trentloos for skillfully interviewing me for his Rural Route radio show. He digs into the psychology of why I went #vegan in 2002 — the painful spinal cord damage I suffered from decades of deficient diet — and why it’s so hard to leave “the cult” to eat meat again.

Podcast is here. (48 minutes)

  1. 48 minutes. I tried. I lasted 10. But so repetitive. I can’t take any more.
    Those first 10 summed up.
    She moved from USA to France. She grew used to the meat in France.
    She returned to the USA and found the meat disgusting.
    She became vegan.
    She started losing excessive weight, passing out.
    Vegans told her she wasn’t vegan enough.
    She shunned her previous friends as they were all meat eaters.
    Her new vegan friends convinced her, her illnesses was from not being vegan enough and looked at expensive treatments to help her.
    She never considered her veganism was what was causing her to not feel well. Because veganism is “healthier”.
    Hair falling out, teeth getting loose, skin problems.

  2. Well that solves the problem I will not become a Vegan…listening to all her health problems when she was a Vegan made me want to puke and yet she didn’t think it was what she ate….when you get sick or not feeling well don’t you at your diet!! Not my way of life I like meat to much.

    1. It wasn’t so much what she ate, it was what she didn’t eat. Meat protein and likely fat.

  3. Hey, only religions/cults have dietary rules.

    Mayor banning soft drinks?
    Restaurant pushing beyond meat?
    Store charging for plastic bags?
    Council banning plastic straws?
    Reeve pushing for blue bins and mandatory recycling?
    “Friend” dictating whom you can talk too and that you must always be accompanied by “approved” person?
    “Musician” telling you to only use 2 squares when you wipe?

    You are dealing with a religious/cult movement. No one but a cult leader wants that level of control over your life.

    If you voted for it, because “it sounds like a good idea”, you deserve what you get. If you let it slide, because “how bad could it be”, “go along to get along”, …

    1. What you wear
      What you say
      What you think
      What you eat
      What you drive (electric car subsidy, carbon tax, …)
      Where you live
      How you live (renovation tax credit, …)

      Welcome to the cult you volunteered to join. Have fun. It will be mandatory to wax that ladies scrotum, eventually. I guarantee it. Because it is always war with them, and you won’t accept that.

  4. Leave insanity and mental instability behind…

    Get your B12 Vitamins, become a MEATATARIAN!

  5. How dare you eat meat! You are supposed to send it to the Third World, and live on soybeans. Notice their hate of non- vegans does not extend to East Indians? Milk and butter are just fine, in the right hands. Veganism is mostly just another assault on the West by the ever resentful left.

  6. Once a year, around Christmas, I go to the farmer family some 140 kms away to buy their cow. Every time I do, I tell them that I pray they do not retire any time soon.
    I usually take one of my kids with me. They help to load boxes full of meat into the truck.
    When we get home, sort, and fill the freezers, we always thaw a fresh stake, to eat it with its natural taste. It tastes a bit too “cowish” but feels awesome.
    The vegan crowd totally misses this feeling of having enough meat for the entire year, for the family and for any guests.

    Silly sobs those vegans! Most of them do not know that they are allergic to the crazy chemicals that go into the store-bought meat, and often it is not meat at all.

  7. Whenever I need to knock off 20lbs I go vegan plus no sugar, grains or alcohol. Drops off very fast. Do it about every 4 years. It’s not fun but I do it.
    It is not a sustainable diet for an active person. You would shrivel to nothing.
