Vegans are literally stupid
Provocative enough thread title for you?

I used the title, "Vegans are 'tards: A Self-fulfilling Paradigm" elsewhere.
Like we needed a study...

Hmmm, it must be "Shit on Garnet Day" again.
Disappointing, UT, that you would put any faith in a "study" that was partially funded by the lobbying arm of the USDA. The cattle ranchers and the meat and milk industries have the USDA bought and paid for. But that's OK, guys, I'm not insulted. I've been a vegan for 3 years, a vegetarian for about 12. I'm not "retarded" as TS so idiotically put it; in fact I think I'm pretty darn intelligent. And I'm in perfect health with perfect blood pressure and low cholesterol. I'm not overweight, and I think I look pretty good too. So go scarf some burgers and chug your milk, boys--I'll stick with the vegan thing. It's working out just fine for me.

It's a legitimate post on a serious topic with a link to a current article. I'm not saying the article is right or wrong, just that it is worth discussing and not aimed at any one member. We have a few vegans around, you know.

I don't like being called stupid by people who don't know what the fuck they're talking about. And who are these other vegan cellarites? I can't think of one. |

Strip away the spin and the study basically says that malnutrition is bad for children, which isn't exactly news. It doesn't say that vegans are necessarily malnourished, only that it's simple to avoid this particular sort of malnourishment by eating meat. Again, not news. Not even to vegans. |

And if I were in danger of starving to death and meat were the only option for me, of course I'd eat it. I'm not stupid. Quote:

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go back to writing my paper on how a strict vegan diet causes irritability in women. (see, THAT was a slam). |

sorry, it's the naturally aggressive tendencies I have from devouring flesh every day.
