It's funny, as soon as anybody says it's fine to have some animal products in their diet, they lose all credability. The science is most definetly against you in this respect!

[JohnnyWillner]

The cons you mentioned about a vegan diet towards the first half of the video were opinion based not fact based. What you think is hard might be easy for someone else. It's all relative. Second, you failed to mention a Raw vegan diet where there is no gluten present at all.

To find out the truth of the matter regarding essential fatty acids, protein and whether we each have different dietary needs, please look at Dr.Doug Graham's foodnsport and foodnsport on youtube.

She had me at licensed accupuncturist. LOL

Her claim that the lack of protein is a concern for veganism is problematic. The protein your getting from a grain as oposed to an animal is far better in quality and does not promote cancer , which animal protein (especially casien) does in rats. LOL, those wonderful omega 3's that need to be taken in order for human survival are also a farse and falls into what Campbell calls, "Scientific Reductionism", a method used by the establishment to enhance capital via poor science and single claims.

@auggiedoggy Are you aware of the reprocusions of eating animal products? By insulting me or other vegans it doesnt make the theory you believe in any more valid. The meat and dairy industry has done an excellent job in brain washing people, creating lies and placing this so call palelithic theor in the front line. One has to look at health results, no what some guy thinks is the way humans evolved. Give me some proof, not insults.

[markangeloc]

@auggiedoggy I have studied paleo anthropology and it's just a theory not gospil. I am saying that my experience, research, and knowledge has led me to my conclusion. You are the nutburger here not, I don't do religion nor take my eating habits as such. The clueless cucumber here is you, and your time is not worth more than mine. So stop with the games, and insults and grow up.

[auggiedoggy]

@markangeloc : You're a certified nutritional consultant? So what? You haven't studied Paleo-anthropology and Paleolithic nutrition, that much is obvious. Are you seriously trying to say that your CNC degree qualifies you to dispute the anthropologists who have the education and have spent their life's work studying human evolution? You are just one more nutburger dietary religionist that truly has no clue. Now I am definitely done with you. What a waste of time you are!

[markangeloc]

@auggiedoggy you are very wrong and I suggest you get your facts straight, you are the one with the lack of knowledge of human evolution and nutrition, do you have any degrees because I do. But I won't waste my breath on someone who has to harm another to feed themself. I am thriving as a raw vegan, as are many of my clients, I once ate the standard american diet and was ill with high blood pressure, stomach issues, now I am healthy and eat only fruits and veggies. Are you?

[auggiedoggy]

@markangeloc : What is unnatural is when a human tries to become a herbivore. From your "discussions" with Crystal I can deduce that debate is futile as you don't have a basic understanding of the facts in terms of human evolutionary nutrition. What is evident is that you have been drinking the vegan Kool-Aid for far too long. I now return you to your vegan dream world ...
