Vegan influencer comes clean
- Thread starter laidback
- Start date
Bahhaahah
This thread is a personification of what I said in my post. Lots of non-vegan chiming in.
If vegans weren't constantly talking about their fucking vegan diets and heaping scorn on their non-vegan acquaintances and just generally being obsessive about being vegans, nobody anywhere would give a sh!t about veganism or vegans. Every vegan I know that is chill about it is cool; every vegan I know who is vocally obsessive about it is a royal PITA.
A LOT of these Influencers/Coaches/Whatever are just the face of a bunch of similar formulas. The backends are all handled by other people (there's actually a B2B industry built on this). Backend is referring to sales, email campaigns, influencer partnerships, billing, subscriptions, PDF delivery, sales funnels. Basically everything business side that makes money is handled by somebody else. The front end (the pretty photos, stories, content) is all done by the influencer and their team.
I get it. Completely. Those are the worst. I never tell anybody what they should or shouldn't eat.
I don't give a fuck what others eat. It's just food. I don't care about the animals dying either.

Back then I watched a documentary (so cliche) and wanted to try vegetarianism for a month. After that month, meat didn't taste the same to me. It tasted plain, if that makes sense. Or maybe it was predictable. I don't know. Went back to vegetarian/vegan. Like the way I feel after eating a lot of vegetables with some complex carbohydrates.
As someone who produces food for a living and run our own market food stalls as well as my wife also running a cafe offering Western & Asian food with vegetarian and vegan options I would second this.
We also have the 'town vegan activist' who is an emaciated, dirty guy who sprays spit everywhere when he talks (luckily our food stall has great acrylic sneeze guards over our food warmers) and lectures all and sundry food stalls in a loud voice about veganism. If you have any cute female customers at the time he will automatically try to hit on them. He will then go onto any conspiracy theory going as well as flat earth. He has his own YouTube channel but I have never looked at it.
If the subject turns to surfing he will also tell you good hard he rips. Going on his physical condition I'm somewhat skeptical of his prowess in the water.

The sugar conspiracy | Ian Leslie
The Long Read: In 1972, a British scientist sounded the alarm that sugar – and not fat – was the greatest danger to our health. But his findings were ridiculed and his reputation ruined. How did the world’s top nutrition scientists get it so wrong for so long?

You volunteer information about your diet and then complain about people supposedly always wanting to know about what you eat.
Slight disconnect here...
it's astounding.
+1
if no one cared we wouldn't be talking about it. we're not taking about what kind of socks people wear. What bothers me the most is I'm reading and posting on it. WTF does that say about me??
Humans are highly adaptable.
The killer is over consumption of calories.
Coupled with using tech to avoid hormesis in general.
So meat eaters and non meat eaters are both missing the mark.
Cuz they're all stupid, see.

We talk about everything here....and we know everything
Beats talking about which Brazilian is going to become world champion and thank God for allowing him to win.
