  • If we cannot get heart disease-causing animal cruelty, we will all literally die!!

    • What causes heart disease?

      • In even number years "nutiritionists" say egg whites are bad for you. In odd numbered years they say egg whites are good for you and the yolks are the real problem.

        Since it's an odd numbered year, they're probably telling people to not eat egg yolks, only the egg whites.

        But that's "nutritionists." Actual scientists say having 7 eggs per week (one every morning) is totally fine and won't cause any harm to your heart.

        Apparently animal rights activists jump on board with any quackery that fits their agenda.

        • Eggs are made up of fats/ cholesterol and proteins, which over the course of a lifetime do damage to your heart and arteries. assuming you ate one egg a day and you lived an average human lifespan of 75 years, you would eat around 27,375 eggs.

          Theres about five grams of fat and six grams of protein per egg. Add that up to about an extra 300 pounds of fat and 300 pounds of protein pumping through your arteries. I wouldn't be surprised if an extra 600 pounds of collective lard processed by your organs eventually contributes to a extra clot somewhere sometime consistently across enough people to show up in a case study stastical analysis.

          The thing with the super vegan healthy nutritionist types is they get off on moral superiority. They believe caring about animal rights and making their family members watch food.inc to learn of the horrors of factory farming makes them a more virtuous tribe of people. Also they morbidly enjoy the idea of outliving meat-eaters or those who cook their veggies instead of eating them raw for the nutrients as a kind of reward for a 'better, more natural' lifestyle.

          In my experience its the young adults in their 20s going through the hippy phase who don't really have a strong sense of identity so they latch onto veganism as something to define themselves, to fuel their ego and a way to feel good through perceiving themselves as more moral. Eventually though after a few years and getting tired of juicing they start easing up. "The white bird flesh, eggs, and fish aren't REALLY meats right? Plus it says organic farm raised so..."

          What the young and passonate don't get is that life is a zero sum game. Our hearts stop one day often unexpectedly no matter how healthy and nutrient filled your diet, physically fit your body, or karmically virtuous your behaviors. You can be the healthiest most disciplined vegan and still die of a brain aneurysm at 25 or a car crash at 30 or a billion other things at any moment of any day. Theres no gaurentees. So maybe smoke em, eat em, drink em, fuck em, while you can and not abstain over things you secretly enjoy just bcause you learned the dirty reality of how it was made or the shitty beliefs of the person who made it.

          Its nice to feel self rightous and smug about not contributing to the factory farming complex but your abstinence doesnt really change much and that kind of false virtue eventually rings hollow. Eggs are tasty and they add something to the life of people who enjoy eating them. They deem that enjoyment to be worth the cost of business of health risk.
