Comment on Falling for keto and other anti-carb lies is as unscientific as being a climate denier.

  Lol, they’re so rare you have to make a list of vegan athletes. This is a prime example of the exception proving the rule.

    It’s a sample size issue. What percentage of people make the effort to get swole? It’s maybe (maybe not) a similar figure to how many vegans bother to get strong. Now what percentage of all people are vegan? Estimates range from 1% to 10%, with 3-5% being probably the most reasonable estimate.

    But you’re the one making the claim without backing it up. Vegans can get all the protein they need, even when strength training. And the best part is we do it without the heart disease, cancer risk, and autoimmune diseases.

        Youre hearing excuses when given a perfectly reasonable explanation? How fucking arrogant can you get?

        You said “its the exception proving the rule”. So yes, you’re absolutely co-signing that claim.

      one of them is a lifter. one of them plays pro football. everyone else is endurance, speed, or technical athlete. so while being vegan seems like a reasonable option for people who don’t need mass and strength, it appears that vegans who have those attributes are outliers.

      Out of curiosity, what autoimmune diseases are prevented by veganism? I’ve never heard of that before (vegan btw)

        the venus williams bit mentions that being vegan helps with the symptoms of some autoimmune disease. it doesn’t say it prevents them (at least not from my reading)
