Vegans & vegetarians

[Rawtid]

Yep.
Some people are just to conditioned into society.
My family makes fun of me too.
Meanwhile, they have their insulin in the fridge right next to my vegan mayonnaise on the door.

shyt is crazy!!

And don't think it's just obesity that's the problem. Skinny people are just as sickly. Diabetes, Hypertension, weak knees/back, etc. I know a 40 year old woman walking around with a cane because her knees are so jacked up. Doctors just give her pain meds. She thinks because she's not overweight that her diet can't be the issue. I told her she's need proper nutrients and the "food" she's choosing doesn't help. My niece, who is older than me, posted a pic of some Chinese take out that said "I have to take my pill first, but it will be worth it". I replied that if you had to take a pill first then you probably shouldn't eat it.

Even when it comes down to acne. People out here wasting money on every product in the store when they aren't even taking care of their self on the inside.

shyt is bonkers.
People spend the most on shyt that wont prolonge their life (shoes, clothes, car, etc) but want to spend the least on what makes them life (food).

They'll go buy a $200+ Michael Kors bag or $250 on some Lebrons and then say "but but but its expensive to eat healthy" so they buy Some cheap ass watery gmo turkey, some porkchops and a dollar store steak.

Put more money into material things than your own well being brehs

Flax Seed(ground) are good for this.

• How much to use: The basic ratio is 1 tablespoon of ground flax seeds and 3 tablespoons of water to replace 1 egg.

Been a raw vegan for a year now best thing i ever did lost 100 pounds skin glows bytches steady staring life is good brehs

I do raw food cleanses once in a while like I did a 10 day raw food cleanse and when it comes down to eating lunch and/or dinner it gets kind of tough when you don't have an wide array of ingredients and tools. Sometimes the preparation is just an annoyance. I made some raw pasta once and it took a few hours to make(Let the Raw Kelp noodles soak in lemon water and salt to soften) and then the sauce needed to be blended.

Just found out White Castle has vegan sliders(Vegan bun too) and the burgers used are actually good(Dr.Praegers Veggie burgers.)
Gonna go try em out(with the thai sauce) to see how they fare.

Vegan/vegetarian 3-4 years

Every black home needs this instead of their Bible or Quran

You cannot be disgusted by white supremacy and still eat meat they way you do, its ultimately hypocritical

This book is a must have. shyt is comprehensive as fukk. Too bad black folks don't eat healthy. We have superior biology but are held back by pork .



shyt black folks get at you for not eating unhealthy. They will harrass and tease you if they find out or tell you that it's unhealthy to be vegetarian and that you need to eat some pork and beef and grease. That's not an exaggeration either I'm in the south and that happens regularly when you around people and eating healthy. Forget police brutality, poverty etc. Health is the biggest killer. We lead the world in preventable health complications. It's a damn tragedy.

Real talk on everything you said!

Shout out everyone keeping it real in this thread, and honest to God, so much of what we eat is just another form of social conditioning. I mean, people actually harass you because of your food choices like it makes them shyt!

I've tried going vegan and vegetarian more than a few times but also live in a colder climate and found some interesting opinions on simply balancing your diet. Such as eating meat maybe 2-3 times a month during these harsh seasons. That cold air fukks with ya man, which is also a factor we must take into consideration when it comes to African Holistic health (since Africa never reaches these kind of temperatures).

Your diet should be 70% fruits and vegetables, then a combination of nuts and seeds followed by smaller portions of meat. I find it works well for me.

Omg I know it was mentioned in the Million Man March thread but Evolve Restaurant in DC is vegan and it is sooooooooo freaking good. Everything was delish. And I'm not vegan... in fact I was expecting to hate it.
