A Vegan Diet Makes You Healthy And Slim! Duh…
In today’s “no duh” moment, Google News has exploded with articles about a new study suggesting that following a vegan diet will make you trim and healthy.
Hmm…a diet full of vegetables and fruit, with no cholesterol, and low fat, is good for you? Surely they jest.
But it would be a major shake-up for most people, so I suppose we can accept this news as shocking. And hey, maybe if people see veganism as the latest diet fad, they’ll be more willing to try it! We do love the fads, don’t we?
It’s been long known that vegans are an average of 15-20% slimmer than meat-eating counterparts, and while the average American’s cholesterol level is steadily creeping into the 200s, a vegan’s is virtually never above 135.
Food for thought.

I am a vegan myself so don’t get me wrong, but i think your missing the point, more people eat meat than those of us who don’t so the poor meat eaters don’t run well in the statistics game, where as us non-meat eaters are all aware of the health benifits of a vegan diet. However both the meat eaters and non-meat eaters camp has people who are unhealthy and this has nothing to do with eating or not eating meat. I know vegans who are just as unhealthy as fat meat eaters. I think you should be careful in promoting a vegan diet espically as a ‘FAD’ alot of people who turn vegan for the ‘label’ are doing themselves more damage than good, and those brainless idoits are doign US more damage than good aswell. P.S grapples are gross
Hi Brendan, you make an excellent point! You’re absolutely right; every ‘category’ is filled with unhealthy people, and no doubt there are meat eaters healthier than vegans, simply because of diet choices.
That’s something we should always remember; no ‘label’ will ensure health. Thank you for reminding us of that!
Glad to see I’m not the only one freaked out by grapples!
I think that Vegan is going way to far because the eggs from Chickens arent killing the Chickens!!! so Yea thats what my opinion is on a Vegan
Lauren, have you seen the chickens that are raised for egg production? They live even longer lives of confinement, torture, and cruelty. After they can no longer produce eggs they often become chicken nuggets. So Vegans care about all animals and are not taking it too far at all, but rather are trying to help end the torture of humans and animals alike.:) Peace.
