  • The new food pyramid is just as influenced by lobbyist as the previous one. Only this time it’s the life stock industry.

    Plus anti-woke MAGA wants to distance itself from vegans as much as possible.

    But also, lean, fresh meat isn’t that bad. It does have a lot of protein, with really balanced amino-acids. You don’t have to carefully combine grains and legumes, in order to not miss out on essential nutrients.

    Meat also has a lot of bioavailable iron and vitamin B12. Both are important and usually insufficient in a vegan diet.

    If you count fish as meat, it also has bioavailable Omega-3. Especially fatty ocean-fishes like salmon. If you don’t eat fish, you either have to eat microalgae-oil or severely reduce your omega-6 consumption (no chips for you. They are fried in sunflower oil).

    In contrast to fresh meat, most processed meats are really bad:

    • Cured meat has sodium nitrate. That’s a known carcinogen.
    • Smoked meat has smoke particles. That’s another known carcinogen.
    • Charred meat has charring. Another carcinogen.

    And you also shouldn’t eat a lot of fat from land animals. It has a lot of saturated fats which, you guessed it, cause cancer.




  • If you wait too long, it might become biologically impossible. Biologically, the best age for kids is between 20 and 35. After that, there is a sharp decline.

    And there is never 100% readiness, nor 100% certainty that you want it. Especially not while you are that young.

    A sad number of folks I know are in their 40s, and struggling to convince. They wanted to be 100% ready, then build a large family. And now it’s too late.

    So if you are in a position where you can have kids, and think you want kids, you should probably go for it. Even if you aren’t 100% ready yet.
