Hardly anyone knows I am a vegan, and if you ever met me, you would not have a clue.
I would never tell you what to eat. If you want a big steak, go right ahead, I'm not stopping you!

Like I said before, I am not a vegan for the animals, but for my health.

"Consider this: 100 calories of steak has 5.4 grams of protein. 100 calories of broccoli has 11.2, almost twice as much.
I’ll go to Answers on Yahoo or any number of forums where people are asking questions about vegetarians and vegans. Then someone will pop in who obviously hasn’t read up on nutritional content or anything about the veg*n lifestyle and say things like “The only place you can get protein is meat.†Or the people asking questions will pretty much always bring up the whole protein issue. And I can’t say this enough:
It is a MYTH.
The average American diet contains meat and dairy products. As a result, it is often too high in protein. This can lead to a number of serious health problems:
For a long time it was thought that athletes needed much more protein than other people. The truth is that athletes, even those who strength-train, need only slightly more protein, which is easily obtained in the larger servings athletes require for their higher caloric intake. Vegetarian diets are great for athletes. To consume a diet that contains enough, but not too much, protein, simply replace animal products with grains, vegetables, legumes (peas, beans, and lentils), and fruits. As long as one is eating a variety of plant foods in sufficient quantity to maintain one’s weight, the body gets plenty of protein.
Since Nature designed her plant foods complete, with abundant amounts of fat, protein, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals, “Where you get a specific nutrient?†is almost never a relevant question, as long as there is enough to eat. So, why have scientists, dietitians, medical doctors, diet-book authors, and the lay public become fixated on a non-existent problem? Protein is synonymous with eating meat, poultry, fish, dairy, and eggsâ€"the foods traditionally consumed by the wealthier people in a societyâ€"thus, protein-eating means higher social status. High-protein foods are also high-profit foods. Therefore, propagating the protein myth is motivated by egos and moneyâ€"and the usual consequences of pain and suffering follow closely behind these two human frailties."
Yes, that ONE DAY is pretty typical of what I normally eat. Please, do some research before giving an ignorant post.
I never said Abraham Lincoln was a vegan. Please don't lump me or the majority of vegans in with the few vegans you know.
Yes, some animals are killed with plowing, but far less than a slaughterhouse! As I said before, I am NOT a vegan for the animals!
Hmm, well actually I did offer references...[/b]

SilverCharm":1kcmc3y4 said:Veganism is a diet. Many vegans, however, avoid all animal products including leather. Key word: many. Not all. According to the dictionary, vegans are defined as;
"A vegetarian who omits all animal products from the diet."
