Looking for vegetable food that provides around 70 to 80 g of daily proteins needed asks to be aware. Fact is you can explode the daily needs of carbohydrates that are also important in proteined vegetables and corns.
And the video of bodybuilded guys is important also, if your carbohydrates raises above your style of life daily needs (typical is jobs behind a desk) you need sport to targett the proteins needed from non animal food while avoiding the increased quantity of carbohydrates non needed. Too much of CH jump you towards deadly health diseases like for instance diabetes we talked already, but also less known ones like NAFLD diseases.

Are bugs considered vegan? I ate some from a vendor in Chengdu a few years ago. I went for the stir fried scorpions. Not bad tasted like Louisiana dried shrimp.

I haven't read much of this thread but just wanted to add my 2 cents. I switched to vegan a few years ago. It was a lot easier than I expected. I try to keep it pretty healthy and balanced. Lots of vegetables, moderate fruit and grains daily, beans a few times a week, fats from olive, flax, canola, coconut, extra protein from protein shakes, soy milk on my cereal. Mouth still waters around meat but whatever. I don't preach it. Ask nicely and I'll cook you a mean steak.

If you told me to go gluten free I'd sooner go jump off a cliff. Tried that. Nuh uh.

Come on! You are just asking this question to justify attaching your mouth watering photographs when you could have asked it directly of the Vegan Society. :yummy:

"One thing all vegans have in common is a plant-based diet avoiding all animal foods such as meat (including fish, shellfish and insects), dairy, eggs and honey."
 
You can be sure that the members of this forum will shoot down anything written in that book as "fake news", "myths that have been debunked" etc etc.
FWIW one of my very first posts here was the lecture "Uprooting the leading causes of death" by Michael Gregor... that was basically the response.

Edit: Hope veganism works out for you.. I'm sure you'll see an improvement. Be patient... I'm sure your bloodwork in 2-3 months will be vastly improved

That's funny, I've just been reading a bit about passive aggressive behaviour, and your post is a classic example ;) Anyway, to prove you wrong, I wish him all the best too and would encourage him to do plenty of research on his chosen diet :)
 
Earlier posts referred to veganism as a religion or a philosophy which may involve more issues than what we eat. I was surprised to find this to be a thread on DiyAudio. I ignore posts that criticize equipment, tweaks, etc by persons that haven't actually tried them.

The book "How NOT to DIE" by Dr Michael Greger is all about the SCIENCE behind the benefits of eating vegan and the damage being done by eating other stuff. As a retired engineer I think I can tell the difference between evidence based science and marketing BS or old wive's tales.
The proof of the pudding is how people's health actually improves from eating like Dr Greger suggests. A lot of persons already claiming better health from this with no evidence of being paid to say so.

Dr Greger is constantly invited to speak to groups of doctors, hospital staffs, etc. so there is probably no evidence that he is a wack job. He gets a lot of opposition from industries that make money selling us the western diet and medical associations like the American Heart Association. Remember when the AMA said that cigarette smoking wasn't harmful to health - even after there was strong evidence to the contrary? Follow the money to the truth at the end of the green and gold rainbow.

I just started to try the vegan diet to dial down the increasing age related health problems I am facing including severe chronic pain.
My Doctors have no remedies or drugs that aren't worse than my current health problems.
I hope going vegan helps. I will still wear leather belts.

I think that flea was recently withdrawn as plague carrier.
So we are back to zero on medical bio causes of the plague.
Same with polio as Salk's immunization was given during natural declining cycle.

I think the flea was not let off the hook, just the rats... The fleas were carriers, but human to human, not human to rat to human....

Now, if fleas practiced veganism...
