Veganism And Insanity

I can’t help but throw my five cents off the psychological bell tower and speak out about vegans, vegetarians, raw foodists, sun eaters, raw mono-eaters, and further down the list.

I will start with the medical part, and since I love fundamental science, I will refer to the monograph of Academician DG Zaridze "Carcinogenesis", which says that one third of malignant tumors is associated with nutrition. That “Observations of certain religious groups, such as Seventh-day Adventists, who ate a special diet that did not include meat products, showed that they have significantly lower incidence of colon, breast, uterine and prostate cancer than the general population, living next to them."

"The consumption of fat, and especially animals, meat and milk, the amount of calories consumed is correlated with the incidence of cancer of the colon, breast, uterus and prostate."

"A prospective study of American health workers, which followed about 10,000 men, found that eating fiber, which is sourced from fruits and vegetables, as well as grains and cereals, reduces the risk of adenomatous polyps and colon cancer."

Since I can argue for the limitation and exclusion of animal products endlessly in 2018, there are more than enough at the moment. With the exception of a few controversial points, the topic of animal fats is closed by modern medicine quite unambiguously and not in favor of the latter.

There is a fairly large cohort of people who believe that: "living in general is harmful", "Kolka's neighbor ran in the morning and died", "grandfather smoked and lived to be 100 years old" - this article is not intended for them, in general printed texts are for such people, I think, in principle, difficult to access.

I sincerely would like, as a psychologist, to congratulate those people who somehow came to vegetarianism (here I mean all the branches, I will not list them specifically), it is nice that your thinking has taken a step aside. I do not assess its correctness, but I am glad that you are thinking, you have drawn conclusions, your thinking has done a certain amount of work. It costs a lot.

But nevertheless, any idea can reach the level of its development when the person broadcasting it begins to attract the attention of orderlies.

In terms of eating habits, I could single out a few of these points that signal that a person is too marginalized.

Savoring hierarchy.

The belief that a vegetarian is better than a lacto vegetarian, and a vegan is better than a vegetarian, and a pescetarian is generally a shameful and not ours, and a sun eater is what everyone should strive for, and in the summer I will be a frutorian and rise in the rankings. This desire for the so-called career growth in food is one of the first signs that something has gone wrong.

Messiahship.

Actively preaching your nutritional stance. Example: I decided, without killing anyone, to concoct a vegan cheesecake. Well, OK. He opened a group of vegan recipes on a well-known social network and began to search for a non-killing recipe. Do you think you found it right away? In no case. For me to browse to the cheesecake, I have to see a couple of videos from slaughterhouses, listen to a speech by a famous Polish vegan activist, see what a biologist, a specialist in freshwater rays thinks about oncology, and much more. Thank you, I ate.

In the name of.

I have never considered, and still do not consider to this day, the ethical considerations of refusing to eat animal food to be in any way psychopathological. I am absolutely fine with the fact of injecting vitamin B12. But refusal in the name of world peace, in the name of a creator, in the name of higher matter causes a certain amount of professional alertness in me.

Yours is a stranger.

The inability to enter into relationships with meat-eaters, to marry, to give birth and to raise children - this is the point that without reservations can be attributed to fanaticism.

Now I am a person.

The feeling that you have finally got out of the crowd of those who do not understand this life and embarked on the path of enlightenment ends when you are already a different group, only vegans, go to build a free eco-house for a charismatic speaker, weed beds with an ecoredisk that cures all diseases, order young dermantine leather shoes. By the way, the first thing you want to do when you see the price of ethical dermantine shoes is to kill someone. Then you need to figure out whether the glue with which the graceful shoes were glued is ethical. Then, as it were, the person begins to travel to vegan fairs, exhibitions and conferences and gag on tofu. In this sense, it is very easy for a vegan to make the day go well, you just need to eat tofu in the morning and the day goes well just because nothing worse can happen to you. Next, you need to decide for yourself where to carry the honey, sort out all the cosmetics and replace it with ethical ones. Although we must admit that the vegan table is very varied, hearty and delicious. Just what is hummus, mung bean, chickpeas, bulgur, quinoa, etc., a meat-eater may not know his whole meat-eating life. And this process is endless. The one who once considered himself a person and even for a while was already dancing with a tambourine in the ecovillage to the “friendly” support of spiritual mentors.

According to my observations, the path from eliminating meat from the diet to hydrogen peroxide takes about three months to a year. The path from vegan to “just a person” who does not eat meat, from about a year to three years. From veganism to yoga for about two months. From sun-eating to a psychiatric clinic on the order of a week.

In conclusion, I can only say the following: "Yes, I do not eat meat, but I will never be with you." And as Herbert Shelton said: "Let there be truth, even if the heavens are overthrown."
