vegans and vaccines

apparently vegans are now a 'protected species' and are exempt from getting vaccines, cause the vaccines were tested on animals....

Because they have enough health problems without vaccine worries.

@meJess Oh really? Is that because their diet is free of bad cholesterol?
meJess · F
@BittersweetPotato because their diet isn't sufficiently balanced, weight loss, reproductive problems etc.

@meJess Can make your statement even more general please?
meJess · F
@BittersweetPotato I thought I just gave 2 specific issues, severe weight loss perhaps I should have said. You can read the health problems resulting from a pure vegan diet in The Lancet and other medical journals

@meJess Can you show me the stats that show that vegans suffer from [b][c=800000]severe[/c][/b] weight loss? Because I have been carrying a little extra weight (than my usual/avg weight) and nope, I didn't even lose that extra weight after going vegan, or following a "pure vegan diet" as you are putting it. Going vegan [b]DOES[/b] ((potentially - not guaranteed)) help people lose weight because we leave out of our diet the unhealthy fat, but if you are eating the required calories, I wonder why would you be [b]severely [/b]underweight.

As for failing to maintain a "balanced diet" I wonder why you claim that, given that there are ABSOLUTELY no nutritional values that animal products provide and plants can't. The only difference is that we get the same nutritional values but less the hormones, saturated fat and bad cholesterol. I wonder if those three elements are the ones that help with "balancing" the diet and that we are therefore greatly missing out!

@BittersweetPotato Sigh. Someone is touting the myth of bad cholesterol again. I mean it's not a myth but there's A LOT of half truths there that aren't fully truths.
