thread split: Sickly veg*n phenomenon?

[Andrew Gubb]

-You need to count your calories and not eat too much (This is a big one because over-estimating caloric value of fruits and veggies is the #1 reason for vegans having low energy and being underweight and sickly)

this.

I'm willing to think that people are Law-of-Attraction-ing the sickly vegans into their life or something - maybe because they believe in vegans often being sickly, that's what they manifest, whereas I believed something different and manifested something different?

Maybe these guys were just semi-anorexics who played with alternative diets as part of their obsession with food. Maybe anorexia is more common in Anglosaxon countries. (I would think so, at least USA)

I just don't get it.

I'm not sure about that?

I didn't even think about it until I started seeing vegans who looked really sick, so it wasn't like I had a pre-conceived notion of vegans being this way...I just concluded that they must all be sickly because I never saw any healthy ones...not for years did I meet any healthy ones.

So wierd.

[firenexx]

I know some sickly ones, and some healthy ones.

I know some african-american people that are nice. I know some that are criminals and fit almost every negative stereotype regarding the "n" word. Does this mean that I assume all black people are criminals that snort coke and eat fried chicken and are degenerate? Hint: Answer starts with an "n".

Now, if I never actually met any nice afro-americans and only met people who were degenerate drug addicts who lived in slums, would I then make the same assumption? It's simple logic. No, I wouldn't. If I did, I wouldn't be able to rationally justify it. Every scientist knows that just because their hypothesis hasn't been proven wrong yet, doesn't mean that it holds true under all conditions.
