If there would come a voice from God saying, “I’m against vegetarianism!” I would say, “Well, I am for it!” That is how strongly I feel in this regard. – ✡Isaac Bashevis Singer✡

Veganism has nothing to do with starving yourself of vital nutrients. It has everything to do with an egotistical belief that you are better than everyone else merely because of the molecules you shove down your food hole. As a biologist, I can tell you without a doubt that the food you are withholding is going to be your downfall. Joint pain, sterility, slow metabolism, lower body temperature, hair loss, severe muscular and skeletal deficiencies–not to mention the mental and emotional problems that will arise as a result. Upton Sinclair, author of The Jungle, had to abandon veganism because his mind and body were not able to function on a diet of mere fruits, vegetables, juice, nuts, and seeds. Gandhi, once a proud supporter of the vegan movement, declared their ideas were fraudulent, stating, “No wonder that mortality figures are on the increase and there is a lack of energy in the people. It would appear as if man is really unable to sustain life without either meat or milk products. Anyone who deceives people in this regard or countenances the fraud is an enemy of India.”

It seems so mixed, I mean, depending on who you speak with, veganism sounds like it makes you operate at max capacity yet what you're saying is the exact opposite. I can just try it, if after a few months I'll have my blood tested and see how everything is looking.

After a few months you’ll look like this, if you even make it that far. You’re literally starving your body–moreover, your mind–of nutrients it can’t eat elsewhere. You’re biochemically designed to be an omnivore. You have the teeth for it. Most importantly is your mind. You can’t just flip your diet around on a whim. Your body’s not made for that, and you’ll lose your memory and cognitive function.

Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils ... commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. – 1 Timothy 4:1-4
