I know there are some people who are gluten intolerant.  Celiac
Disease.   I'm not one of those people.

 
Last summer my son was diagnosed with celiac disease. He has issues that
cleared up within days of giving up gluten.  Then there are people who
are convinced that gluten is bad for you even if they aren't gluten
intolerant.  Get a group of young people together and you are bound to
get several vegetarians, a vegan or two, some who are  gluten intolerant
and some who are lactose intolerant.
 
 
 

Of course there are people like that.  But don't get me started on
Vegans who believe eating honey is harmful to the bees and one shouldn't
milk cows (for some silly reason) because it's somehow harmful to them.

The dairy industry's a very nasty industry, and not because of the
milking. I'm not a vegan but I understand why people are.

 
Yeah.  I don't think we treat these animals properly.  If you go back in
time, the way small farmers used to treat animals decades ago, I think
it's all good.  Animals kill other animals for food, too.
 
I don't quite buy the whole idea that we don't need meat.  I've been a
vegan for half a year to try it out and---perhaps I couldn't design my
diet properly---I felt very, very weak.

  On your vegan diet,  what were you eating for protein?

I ate beans and all sorts of legumes and vegetables.  So I was probably
just getting what they offer.  Beans would usually be black beans and
some of its variations.  Legumes and vegetables of all sorts---carrots,
cabbage, quinoa, potatoes of all kinds, rice, broccoli, kale...  But I
did not actually choose them thinking of proteins.  I just tried things
at random.

So you think it could be a too low protein diet?
