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

    How do you know when someone is a vegan?

    Don’t worry, they’ll tell you.

      Funny, but just as untrue and offensive as OPs meme. I dont understand how people dont see that and keep being offended while offending 10x harder.

    Good work detective, I know that was a tough case but you really stepped up to uncover the truth

  Keto was originally intended for children suffering from epilepsy, and was quite effective for it:

  The ketogenic diet is effective in substantially decreasing difficult-to-control seizures and can successfully be administered in a wide variety of settings. source

  More recently it has been adopted as a weight loss tool, but it doesn’t seem perfect and especially there seems to be no reason to participate for more than a few months:

  Ketogenic low-carbohydrate diets have increased in popularity over recent years, but the degree of carbohydrate restriction required to achieve ketosis remains unclear. In general, studies have shown greater weight loss at 3–6 months with KLC diets compared with LF diets, however this difference is no longer apparent at 12 months. source

    Sounds well reasoned.

    Or, more memes. 🙃

  You can shitpost about anything, but not their sacred right to eat industrial meat.

  Good job op.

    What I’ve been finding so far about lemmy is that if I post something vegan that puts all the blame on corporations, the upvotes come rolling in. But anything else is either closer to a 1:1 ratio, or downvote abyss.

      Those upvotes must really put the dopamine in your brain. Considering they’re worthless on the fediverse

      perhaps it’s because you’re insulting the very people you’re trying to convert to your cause. work on your rhetoric and watch your success rate skyrocket

    lol this “us vs them” mentality is what keeps the meat industry strong. If Vegan’s weren’t insufferable the entire meat industry would’ve died in ‘07.

      Im sure it would buddy.

      Im pretty sure you yourself know how untrue that is. People who eat meat do so mainly out of habit. Habits get engraved in your personality in a way that your ego will defend them to the death. If anyone or anything tries to change your habits, your ego makes it feel like theyre trying to kill you.

      Its not really their fault, they have all the necessary information right in front of their eyes but cant overcome the habit hurdle. This is basic human behavior and we shouldnt drive people into corners based on their weaknesses.

  I wandered into a /c/vegancirclejerk post in my feed yesterday lemmy.world/post/15870764 That was fun and informative, in a way.

  They really, really don’t like you pointing out that they could just eat what they want and nobody would care, they just have to make it their public identity because they get off on being oppressed.

  Funniest bit is one of the mods got fussy and deleted all my comments and banned me- then the other mod removed them as mod. Hard to maintain solidarity in a group when its built entirely on the need to be oppressed. Eventually your own team becomes your oppressor.

    I’m confused, is this about vegans or meat eaters?

    • stanleytweedle@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      It was about ‘circlejerking’ about your dietary preference.

      source
    • tomi000@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Meat eaters obviously

  • Duke_Nukem_1990@feddit.de ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Lol you do realise that people can just see the mod log and look at the bullshit comments of yours that got removed yeah?

    source

    • stanleytweedle@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Yeah I almost posted a screenshot of them but figured that might be against the rules.

      But the removals got the mod removed so you have to wonder if my comments really deserved to be removed or if some prissy vegan mod just got triggered by some reasonable points about ‘circlejerking’ your dietary preferences.

  Carbs are good but being vegan makes you brittle and weak

      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.

    Misinformation, you are lying.

    [A] comprehensive meta-analysis reports a significant protective effect of a vegetarian diet versus the incidence and/or mortality from ischemic heart disease (−25%) and incidence from total cancer (−8%). Vegan diet conferred a significant reduced risk (−15%) of incidence from total cancer. source

    Been vegan for 12 years and I’m outlifting a friend who isn’t, has a PT, trains in a gym, is taller and heavier and started two years before I did, in one of the main lifts, and I’m on track to match their numbers (by end of year at the earliest) in all other lifts, while training at home and doing everything on my own lol

  I’m pretty sure you can do vegan keto, it’s literally just eating even more beans than normal

  source

  • MilitantVegan@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    There is a vegan keto, and at least one study has found it to not have the same harms that other variants of keto has. The problem there is that it’s an extremely restrictive diet, so good luck to anyone trying to stick to that.

    Aside from the one legitimate use it has - alleviating seizure symptoms - keto is just plain a diet that makes no sense for humans whatsoever.
