Wayne Potgieter Posted January 7, 2020 Posted January 7, 2020 No argument from me - I am reminded to pay attention to supplements There are 2 very distinct vegan camps - vegan for health or vegan for animal rights. If vegan for health then I assume you're doing your homework and that you will educate yourself and mitigate against the potential pitfalls of not having meat/dairy in your diet. I'd still like to have a discussion about why you're leaving out eggs and dairy if your choices are only based on health (calcium particularly important for aging well). Are you avoiding leather and wool products too? We might be talking vegetarianism.. As a generalisation the 'vegan for animal rights' group can be a bit less thoughtful about their choices, and these are generally the group that makes the news. This is also where I have an issue with veganism campaigners - people are influenced to cut out meat (have you been to a feedlot/abbatoir etc.), but without learning anything about vegan diet health. This is also the group that is most likely to feed their kids a vegan diet - which has the added risks of undernourishment during high growth years.Absolutely. Blindly following any eating plan without understanding the risks or doing the research is a fools game.
Josh_the. Man Posted January 7, 2020 Posted January 7, 2020 (edited) Just some New Years leftovers. My grandfather is very religious and is the founder of 'Word for the World'He wasnt very happy with the vegan thing because it was his 4th time visiting this December and was fed vegan. He got a micro-aggression and told my brother and I that this 'thing' is bad and it's becoming a religion of it's own. He braught carrot cake that had raw egg in it and I was sortof forced to eat it. He thought the diet was good and all but he felt like we were taking it too far. Edited January 7, 2020 by Josh_the. Man

Josh_the. Man Posted January 8, 2020 Posted January 8, 2020 Google is amazing https://m.spur.co.za/menu/plant-based/ I guess I'm going to spur tonight. Maybe. First ask my mom.
Slowbee Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 Do they cost the same as the regular burgers? eish ... no idea. I just know, having not been at the spur for some time, the veggie burger was better than the ribs someone else ordered.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 eish ... no idea. I just know, having not been at the spur for some time, the veggie burger was better than the ribs someone else ordered.That's not difficult though, to be fair Slowbee, geomark and DJR 3

Patchelicious Posted January 12, 2020 Posted January 12, 2020 (edited) Apparently the USA consumes 1.3 billion chicken wings JUST on Super Bowl Sunday. That is 650 million chickens that get slaughtered just for Super Bowl Sunday. The average chicken length is 40cm.... That would mean that the queue of chickens lining up to get slaughtered, for this ONE day in ONE country is 260 000km long, that would go around the earth more than 6 time.https://www.forbes.com/sites/geoffwilliams/2017/01/30/1-33-billion-chicken-wings-to-be-eaten-on-super-bowl-sunday-and-more-food-factoid-fun/ Edited January 12, 2020 by Patchelicious
