Vegan

Hi

I am a vegan and was wondering if there were any other vegan Aspie's out there.  I would be interested to know if it has helped any sensory issues.

  • Humans are omnivores. As organisms we've survived and thrived by continuously adapting to our changing conditions, habitats, and availability of food. Our bodies have evolved over time to eat animals (or to eat drink their milk or eat their eggs) and to eat plants (vegetables or fruits).

    Because we are living in a time when all sources of food are plentiful, and our habitats are stable (and this is the only time in human history that this has happened) people have been able to choose the kind of food they want to consume. 
     As long as you make sure you are getting all the right vitamins, it doesn't matter whether you choose to stick to a plant-based or meat-based diet.

  • Not sure I agree that all sources of food are plentiful?  We are destroying the oceans, cutting down the rain forests to allow cattle to graze and generally killing the world.  We seem to be able to feed all the animals but there are people still going hungry.
