Precisely. And if you have enough veggies and vegans around you, you know that they can eat as much junk food as everyone else. Sugar is vegan, after all.

- hallihax 7y agoI'm guilty myself - my city has exploded with vegan stuff over the last couple of years and my waistline has expanded in-line with it :P
- seandougall 7y agoSome sugar is vegan. Most isn’t, though most vegans I know conveniently ignore that: [1] [1] https://www.peta.org/living/food/is-sugar-vegan/ https://www.peta.org/living/food/is-sugar-vegan/
- skummetmaelk 7y agoConsidering sugar to be non vegan just because it has possibly been filtered using animal derived coal is not far away from considering products made by workers who consumed meat to also be non-vegan.
- themagician 7y agoThe definition of vegan changes depending on who you ask.
- jtms 7y agoA good sugar and salt dry rub is excellent on a rack of ribs.
- yjftsjthsd-h 7y agoUm. Is PETA considered a reliable source?
- jtms 7y agoConsidering they are one of the most extremist and hypocritical organizations I can think of I would certainly vote a strong no on that

- niklasolai 7y agoWhy would´t they be in this area?
- selectodude 7y agoI don't know many skinny vegetarians. Eating nothing but carbs and butter is vegetarian and extremely unhealthy.
- maccard 7y agoThere are plenty of super high protein vegetatian and vegan options available. Many nuts, and pulses are in the same ballpark as even red meat. Consider that most people aren't strictly carnivorous, and are usually pairing a burger with 600 calories of fries, and a 400 calorie bun, which is all carb.
- dpoochieni 7y agoNot by any chance, when I eat nut they tend to deplete my minerals, requiring constants supplementation. Plus, I think some aminoacids are difficult to source from vegetarian sources. I personally do great on glycine (skin, eyes, hair, overall inflammation, sleep) and have not found a veggie source.
- vibrato 7y agoNothing is in the same ballpark as red meat in terms of nutrition density and bioavailability.
- maccard 7y agoA beef steak is about 270 calories for 30g of protein, cooked lentils are about 22g for the same number of calories. I'm not researched enough in bioavailability to comment on that part. For an 80kg man, the "recommended" protein intake is about 64g, the difference in calories is fairly minute (assuming you compare 100% meat vs 100% lentils). If you're training/weightlifting and following the advice of 2-3g per kg of bodyweight, you're almost certainly going to supplement your protein intake anyway. Protein supplements are 2-3x the density of red meat, and available in vegan options if that's your thing.
