Vegan food - we knew this all along!

Why vegan junk food may be even worse for your health

While we might switch to a plant-based diet with the best intentions, the unseen risks of vegan fast foods might not show up for years

I have deep respect for non- campaigning vegans who manage their diet well. It's such a hard thing to do. I understand their motivation, I just don't share it.

I have 2 ex-vegan friends who have significant health issues after many years of a poorly managed vegan diet.

Who are at the top of the tree pulling the strings for this eat processed veggie slop?
I don’t mean Greta and her pals.
Who is forcing governments to chase this agenda?
The mega rich , like Bill Gates, with an eye on having us all eat their brand of veggie burgers ?
Boils my blood that the Nfu etc just toe the line.

Interesting article.
Surprised to see absolutely no mention that Tofu is made from soya or the fact coconuts are from tropical regions or nothing about palm oil.
In fact, absolutely nothing about the provenance of this crap at al

Many people only know that beef comes from Tesco.

Starting to think that Tom and Barbera Goode had the right idea.
Eat what you can grow.
I will be doing.
Angus beef burger, no gherkins!

There are many more ex-vegans than there are vegans.

Other vegan food is available, not just the junk crap that's being pushed by the food multinationals and supermarkets. So I wouldn't get carried away with this article. It could easily have said meat based junk food isn't good for you, the Standard American Diet isn't good for anyone either, but then it's not the actual meat that's the problem.......

A vegan diet that is actually good for you requires a lot of effort to prepare and then eat than most will ever do. Veggie is far easier and probably a lot healthier to boot....

Far more effort is required than a silly student buying some Tescburies vegan sausages, to "save the planet"!

Actually I've read the article now and it's not the worst thing I've ever seen on the BBC website. The nutritionist involved is actually better the usual standard of "nutritionist". Still a couple of big problems in there but overall not a bad effort. 6.5/10
