Track16: I had to take a look. Yeah, I'm sure that is in a medical text book somewhere
I wonder why so many young people are so lost nowadays... They haven't lived yet...Nothing to be tired of or worried about... They have a whole life ahead and many more possibilities than we did have.
You're right, we shouldn't have done that. To the person in question, I'm sorry. Seriously though, being underweight like that stresses the hell out of your internal organs Its just as dangerous as being overweight.

Wasn't being rude, just concerned...a balanced diet...and fasts are not good long term...so I hope the new member feels welcome still...
bodleing2: "I doubt he eats anything at all, have a look at his profile, he seems to suffer from anorexia...and not only.."
That is bashing by any standards and you know it.
So, he looks like someone who has a serious problem but I have to pretend and be hypocritical about it? That's not bashing, that's the truth... The topic is about health and eating...
And by the way when I came to the forums ten years ago, I was treated quite bad by the most famous members of these forums... I don't remember anyone being concerned. Have anyone ever though why there are only me and Dedo from this part of the world who survived the gang... It isn't our forums and we don't decide who stays and who leaves... And we can call a spade a spade... This guy doesn't need your pity but a professional help...

Do you think it's ok to check peoples profiles and then state on here that they have a serious problem? How do you suppose that will make them feel? A bit better?

Just exactly why does he need(in your opinion) professional help?

Yes, it is OK to check someone profile and comment, it is a public information. Plus he already started two threads that would have made me look at his profile anyway. And comment. You don't seem concern when other members are called names and disgusting language is used against them, Bod... Why is that?
Are there dangers in plant based foods?...as Bod gave us a website to look at...question is...is it backed up...
I hope grapes are okay...
No problem, let's do it As for the topic, I already gave my opinions on the mirroring poll the OP started along with this thread. Nothing in extreme is healthy... I like cake and it's OK

Let them eat cake...
Yes I saw the other thread...I always thought protein deficiency would occur on a plant based diet if you don't do your research...being vegan can be difficult to do as well...organic food rather expensive...I live in the city...no vegetable garden at home...

I guess people do what they can...
Indeed, protein from meat and eggs can not be replaced with the same effect. Too many people are allergic or intolerant to most popular foods nowadays and I am sure it has much to do with the pesticides and genetic modification ... I have always wondered if our governments are so concerned about our health and well being, why do they allow producers to literally kill us using harmful and even poisonous ingredients in their produce As for Organic and bio, it is a big, fat scam, I've spoken to people who do issue bio certificates and they told me how easy it is to change from normal to bio...
Track16: I like cake too, but can't eat it. Diabetes sucks
This sucks, my mom has diabetes, not serious though, but I prefer home made and I make cakes that will allow her to eat too... I can't live without sugar...

I like sugar too, weaning off it hasn't been easy. To top it off, my cholesterol is high and I have to account for that as well when I eat. My pallet is fairly limited these days.
I have always wondered why going green is so expensive...using trends to fatten their wallets...certified organic I thought was different...but always wondered about ground soil contamination as well...did not have to worry so much as a kid...we had a great garden and used no pesticides...fruit was canned for the winter and vegetables chopped up then frozen... The deer enjoyed the garden as well...

I don't keep tabs on my protein intake, or anything else for that matter.
You don't need as much protein as the middle of the last century would have us believe and lots of foods (pulses, nuts, seeds, mushrooms, grains, psuedo-grains, potatoes) have protein in them.
My GP told me about a third of people in Wales are B12 deficient, but I'm not one of them despite eating a plant-based diet and not taking supplements. That's probably from fortified plant milk in my tea.
I'm having a box of organic veg delivered once a fortnight at the moment. Here, there are strict standards with respect to soil contamination. I don't need to buy much else besides and the veg boxes cost me £10-12 per week.
I agree, it can be expensive trying to be squeaky clean, but seeking out as many ways as possible is an option.
That depends on what is considered "real food", which you make clear in your next statement and includes meat, where you make logical fallacies through factual wrong statements that are based on your opinions / bias as facts:
The largest and strongest animals are and always have been (dinos) herbivores, and that body mass is mostly muscle, which is created from proteins / amino acids - how is that possible, if "protein can't be found in veg", there is also an issue with your statement in terms of that "a little bit of meat" consumption by humans is "a good thing", when B12 alone can be found in plenty amounts in a number of plant sources, plus there is always plant-based (vegan) supplements that provide that, in case you do not want to / can't get sufficient amounts of B12 from plant sources themselves.
Yes, meat has a lot of nutrients in them, but also "things" that are very harmful to the human body - heme iron, cholesterol and sat-fats specifically, which lead to cancer and obesity; you can get the non-heme iron from a number of plants, and the human body produces its own cholesterol and fats, thus adding that to one's diet is counterproductive to human health.
The conclusion is that, unless there is no sufficient access to caloric-dense plant sources (avocados, nuts, seeds) to equalize your energy expenditure - which is only true nowadays for survivalists / very remote areas of the world - there is no need and even is counterproductive to human health to consume animal products.
There is also the math aspect of it, which relates to land mass, water and food requirements for a sustained and sufficient "production" of animal mammals to provide sufficient B12 and "protein"... (btw, B12 is not produced by the animal mammals, but fed to them by the agriculture industry, you do know that, right?)
If you'd do the math (this was done for various countries and their regions, scientifically correctly AKA w/ correct numbers) you'd realize a number of things:
1. the landmass is just not there to sustain this - especially in smaller countries like Japan and the UK, and especially in the use of "free range" animals, which a lot of people go on about; 2. the huge amount of potable water requirement is wasteful and could and should rather be used for irrigation for plant-food production; 3. the huge amount of plant-matter consumed by all those animals for this mathematical model, could instead be fed to humans directly and that would already end world hunger.
Again, that's based on bias and make-believe, not factual data and science. There are a lot of issues with this line of thinking, relating in particular to negative ecological impact and human health - for the latter, you can find plenty of scientifically written articles via
nutritionfacts.org/?s=fish
Bias? Bias as facts? Make believe? You do know that , right? Opinion? not factual data and science? this line of thinking?
You asked a question and I obliged you with a reply and that's your response?
Where did you get the impression that insulting someone, for no reason is intelligent or even conducive to discussion/ It sounds like you're more interested in an arguement than anything else...
As for not factual science, then you can go check everything I said
You must be new to this subject? Because it reads like you are just parroting off stuff you've read once or twice but don't really understand, but it made sense to you so you must be right...
FYI you only have half the story and you can't see where you're getting it very wrong. But, given your attitude you can be sure I won't be wasting my time explaining it to you.
Go do a few more years reading , actually learn the stuff, and you'll understand what I mean....
