I think Conan was just overly frustrated with his experience. BTW, i have also personally met quite a few obese vegetarians who consume too much of refined carbohydrate and soy products. I think his post should serve as a good warning to the aspiring strict vegans/vegetarians that they could get into alot more troubles (Deficiency issue + metabolic disorders) than the omnivores by consuming too much of non-whole food/carbohydrate (vegan bread, vegan cookie, vegan biscuit, vegan baked pizza, non-fermented processed/GMO soy and etc).
I see that Steve as a role model of vegetarianism because i believe he is eating a wide variety of predominantly whole food diet, doing plenty of exercise under sun(hopefully) and etc. |
