The post is a bit long but bear with me, I have recently had some interesting conversations I just have to share.
I met a lady in her mid to late 40's who is also a raw food part time vegan enthusiast who owns a healthstore, who was preaching alot about superfoods, greens, the chimpanzee diet and then we got on the subject of veganism, as I was lookin for a vegan protein powder. She told me that she was a vegan for most of the time. I said (why not all of the time?). She said because every month almost like a timeclock she gets this craving where she starts to salivate at the thought of meat, so when she gets this feeling she has a steak the size of the palm of her hand and wulah, all fixed till next month.
Just the way she emphasized the word salivate with intense facial expressions and hand waving made me feel nauseus, I just thought to myself 'Oh my god, this lady is actually serious. She actually beleives it.' I had an intense craving of my own and that craving was to punch her kind in the head! Oh but I only do it once a month so thats ok then isnt' it!
The other one was a fella at a clothing store, they have a heap of stuff promoting the good work they do for animals and what not, actually sounded pretty good, the guy was explaining about a heap of animal orgs they are actively donating too and how important it is too help the innocent and then brought out his dogs and they had veganpet as a sponsor so I said 'you must be vegan then?' He said he's tried 3 times to go vegetarian but become sick and weekly and once he had a piece of meet... bam, back to his healthy self. He claims he was even having protein supplements, and help with nutrition from vegos, he insisted that it was him, he just needs meat. He even hinted towards himself having hunting characterisitics of a carnivore and told us he will do what it takes to survive and he has had the hunting instinct all of his life, infact he would have no problem eating humans but then flipped back to telling us he entirely understands the concept of vegetarian and is a hypocrite for not being one it's just that it is him, he has an instinct so to speak.... he cannot go without meat or he turns pale and weak. He even said that he belted a slaughterhouse worker once because of what he done to animals but then sort of gave the whole spiel over again about his need for meat.
I was so confused what was coming out of this guys mouth he often didnt make much sense, I just wanted to hand him some toilet paper for the chronic leakage at his mouthpiece.
Incase this happens again, please tell me. Is there any humans that have a rare disease/illness/bodytype/bloodline/genepool/dna complex/whatever that they NEED meat ?
And do you have a study or something that shows meat is not needed by the humanbody in anycase so that I can flick them a copy that will hopefully help them realise they are not a lion.
People overthink things! veganism is not that difficult - in fact, its fucking simple - unless you read a lot of stuff on the internet and are easily influenced 
I just smile at them and tell them I am vegan.
