I'm posting this thread as a warning to others, It contains personal information that I otherwise would not divulge, out of respect, but I believe that it is important to warn people of the dangers of embarking on a life of veganism.
My dear old Dad, God rest his soul, was the best bloke I ever knew, he was clever, and he was a very good gambler, but he was a sucker for every fad diet that came along. He fell for it all - soya, vegetarianism, canola (rapeseed oil), veganism - and sadly, he paid heavily for it with his health in his latter years.
But by far, the worst of the above mentioned must be veganism.
Be warned, there is an entire industry of shysters out there on the internet and in the bookstores, who make a tidy living by promoting this dangerous claptrap, i'm fairly convinced that these peole are taking grants from some of the big foundations, because they seem to be living rather too large from just having some two-bit website, holding a few seminars and putting out the occasional youtube videos... or publishing the odd book.
When my father embarked on his life of veganism, he had bought a handful of these books and read them, books such as 'The China Study', which is filled with utter nonsense, and he signed up to a dozen of the websites. I kid you not, this racket is something akin to TV evangelism.
In the beginning we all went along with his new diet, believing he knew what he was doing, because he'd done so much research, but after a couple of weeks of this, the rest of us started feeling unwell and went back to taking in animal protein. But poor old Dad persevered, despite our pleading, and six months down the line, his condition became quite serious. He ended up having a stroke, with a sudden onset of dementia, and after he fell and broke his hip, became confined to a wheelchair.
A police detective I know, has a brother who is confined within an insane asylum, we're talking about a young guy here, who was also a vegan until his rapid decline.
Many of the problems with veganism are explained by the video I posted under the heading 'Health', in this section of the forum. But basically, we must have cholesterol, saturated fat and protein, which you are not going to get from eating raw vegetables, and we must avoid too much fibre which you are going to get plenty of from eating raw vegetables.
