A description of the food pyramid and why it shouldn't be used as an argument for a healthy diet (more just facts about the food pyramid and speculations), also a few of the reasons I became vegan. Not all of them of course :P

  • I know several people who went vegan and then went back to some forms of meat like chicken and fish and some eggs. I don't like the food pyramid simply because it is based on alot of assumptions about weight and health. it assumes eating fats especially saturated fats makes you fat and sick. you can get alot of minerals from plants only if you eat them with saturated fats to facilitate absorption, how anyone can believe fat soluable nutrients are absorbed without fat is beyond me.

  • Your absolutly right, thank you.

  • Protein should be at the bottom you should get around 1-1.5g/kg of weight. So since I am 227 lbs that is about 105kg i need about 105-155 grams of protein a day. As far as feeling stronger you are wrong. If I don't get enough protein I start having serious problems but I have a myostatin defency that causes abnormal muscle growth.

  • hi5 for being vegan!!!! :D

    pro life 4 life :)

  • "Food Politics: How the Food Industry Influences Nutrition and Health" = a book that talks about this issue.

  • great video.
