That cartoon makes me seem biased, but I’m really not, it just made me laugh. You’ll see why that clarification is important in a sec.
So, I decided fittingbackin wins the name my column contest, maybe because it was closest to my original idea, but definately because it conveys I am a trainer with a rant to go on. What do you win? Nothing. Sorry about that. But look! A link to your site!
So this is another one where you guys can get in on the action. I’m working on an article for Twirlit.com about vegans and vegetarians and whether or not “fad” or “experimental” or “I really just want a way to justify eating nothing but fruits and veggies to lose weight” vegans and vegetarians cheapen the vegan and vegetarian lifestyle.
SO, I want to hear from you if:
1) you are a true vegan and vegetarian living the lifestyle for moral purposes (oppose the treatment of animals, health purposes, such as allergies, or intolerances, or if you truely just believe it is better for your health and body, or if there is another reason I am missing). I prefer if you have been eating as such for over 2 years, but am open. Also, any info you can give to enlighten everyone on why choose to live this way and how you feel when other people dapple in it
2) If you have experiemented with either veganism or vegetarianism for a predetermined amount of time, (“I’m going to try out veganism for 2 weeks”) have used it as a means to lose weight, because you were curious to see if you could do it- like a personal challenge, or just wanted to try it for anyother reason but didn’t stick to it.
3) All others who have/have not tried it, and what you think about people that experiment with diets (diest in the literal term). Do you think it lessens the vegan and vegetarian diet as a whole, when people try it without moral cause?
I may use quotes in the peice like I did with the Jillian article, so the more thoughtful the better.
