Most of the protein shake stuff would not solve the issue for a vegan diet. Most of the protein shake stuff is made from Whey or Casein or egg whites which IIRC are not vegan. There is pea protein or hemp protein but my quick googling tells

The problem is that most people don't know what "eating well" and "exercising" really means. I will take myself as an example. When I graduated from grad. school in December of 2011, I was 270 lbs which at 5'10

Sure, I understand no one has the answers yet. The good thing about being able to understand some stats is that I can read these medical papers that doctors also read. It just surprised me to hear this coming from this specific doctor who i

Sure. I am not denying that. It is just inefficient. Let us do some math. I try to hit 150 gms of protein per day while also staying within my calorie limit. I can do that right now while staying under a 1800 calorie limit. From Google, 1 o

The issue is that doctors give you muddled advice too. I had my blood test done last year and I was told that I should cut down on eating any meat and switch to a plant based diet. He also vaguely told me to do more exercise. Yet, I eat inc

I am not sure if the OP phrased it properly but humans relate better to specific examples. This is why a little girl covered with napalm related burns has more of an effect in the media than 50,000 deaths [1]. [1] http://en.wikipe

Erm. OK. So what do you want to do? Sit and whine about your real world problems? Cause I have done that tons and tons of times; it is useless as shit. The "self empowerment bullshit" is simple: figure out what you can do to solve

Somalia might fit your bill. They have a non-functioning government. No working law enforcement. Not sure about the health infrastructure though.

Thanks for clarifying. To reiterate my point, I think the way free speech ideally should work is that you are technically free to be stupid. Don't be surprised if you get fired from your job. That is the responsibility you take on for

Free speech still stands. No one is stopping you from being stupid. Obviously when one is a public official, racism/idiocy in this situation comes into play and the person gets kicked out of office.Also being an Arab as far as I know i
