Comment on Top 10 Things Never to Say to a Vegan by Stef

amen! I think my favorite is “why are you okay with killing plants if theyre living things too?”
It’s like dude. Animals have organs and have pain receptors. They run away when they are in danger and are intelligent beings. I have yet to see my celery run away screaming off of my cutting board.”

And not only that, but 80% of plants feed livestock. Gotta love the irony here, folks.

Wow, that is amazing how much it affected your body and weight! Good for you. I’ve experimented a little bit with gluten-free cooking and I loved it. Thanks for sharing your experience!

Congratulations! Last year, I found out through a blood test that I am allergic to wheat, possibly have Celiac disease. No wonder I’ve always been so puffy! Anyway, because of the allergy, eating wheat was causing my digestive system to work improperly and didn’t allow my body to absorb all the good vitamins and minerals it should have. You’re not puffy, and as a vegan I’m sure you eat plenty of fiber…and it sounds like you’re definitely not sedentary…and you’re probably not allergic to wheat, however, I thought I’d share that once I went gluten-free I lost 35 pounds. I don’t eat _anything_ with wheat. I still eat baked goodies now and then, but with gluten-free flours. For example, we have this amazing little restaurant in town that makes a delicious gluten-free pizza with pulled chicken, fennel, pesto, and goat cheese–so delicious–and the dough is mostly from almond flour and a mix of some other things. Anyway, I didn’t change anything else except avoiding wheat products and there went 35 pounds! Good luck and have fun!

I’m definitely interested in biking now that the weather is getting nicer! I am the only member of my family who doesn’t own a bike. Perhaps I should remedy that soon! Thanks for the idea.
