1. Vegans don't advertise. You're confusing the companies hawking their wears for the people they're hawking them at. Is this why you think vegans are trying to impose their diets on you - through advertising?Scot Dutchy wrote:I suppose you ignore their advertising campaigns. They are pretty active here. I never see ad campaigns from the other side. In my supermarket which is close to a cell of them, yep they live in the best districts, has a separate section for them full of processed soya. They also have a separate label on all other produce that is suitable for them.Brian Peacock wrote: ↑Mon Dec 20, 2021 1:15 amYes, you've said that often enough. But repetition alone does not forward your point. Why are you reluctant to acknowledge that omnivores can also be nutritionally impoverished? The inclusion of animal ingredients in one's diet is no more an indicator of health and well-being than their absence. The mythical vegans, with some mysterious power to dictate what you are allowed to eat, are a spectre of your own imagination, even as you decry and chide those who, for whatever reason, do not adhere to your own dietary norms and standards. You demand the freedom and autonomy to eat as you wish, but in doing so you also require everyone else to endorse and adopt your dietary ideals. It seems to me that it is you, my friend, who is the one playing the part of the intolerant dietary ideolgue in this particular conversation.Scot Dutchy wrote:Brian
A vast majority of nutritional experts warn about vegan diets. If you think yours is sufficient for you and you can live with it fair enough. I dont want to know about or be constantly exposed to false propaganda thank you.
Veganism is not just dietary, and you know it is not, it is also a life style which many diehards of the movement want to impose on the rest of us.
How's your vitamin D level?
Have a look https://www.ah.nl/shop/dieetwensen/vegan
Most of it is heavily processed but who is bothered so long it suits their demands.
My vitamin D is fine thanks. I get it on prescription and take it twice a month. I take on D3 every day as well. I have my blood examined every three months. What surprises my GP is the high blood oxygenation (usually 98%) even with only 40% lung capacity.
2. We also have the same labelling, along with labelling for allergies and intolerances (nuts, gluten free etc). Are the gluten intolerant similarly forcing their lifestyle on you simply by being visibly catered for?
3. Yeah, there's a lot of money to he made out of vegans, but you really must shake this assumption that vegans can only survive by purchasing processed alternatives to meat, milk, and cheese etc. Ever wondered why you never see a 'Vegan Potato' or a 'Vegan Carrot' at the supermarket? Shopping vegan basically means not walking up the dairy or meat aisle - pretty much most of the other staples in the rest of the store are available without the need for special labelling. Do you really think that vegans can only buy or eat things with 'vegan' written on them?
4. Good to hear about your vitamin D. Taking a supplement is a reliable way to cover any shortfall in vitamins, minerals and trace elements etc.
You misquoted me as well which is against the Rules. But reporting has no point anymore.
