    There just isn't enough variety to keep me sane. I'd be bored rigid after a week of living on nuts, brown rice & nasty ass beans.


    I couldn't do it myself, I like my steak and chicken too damn much.

      I love meat as well and that's why I'm not vegan but to say there isn't enough variety is not to know a vegan menu.

      My friend is a vegan, he cooks with his GF and I have eaten over there and it's delicious and has tons of variety.

      It's healthier for you and it would be better for you NOT to eat meat. I just choose to eat meat because it's so delicious.

        Natural is the best way to go.......society makes it the hardest way to go though.
        The canines are longer than the other teeth, and more pointed. The 4 front teeth on top and bottom between the canines are incisors, for cutting.

        The most famous vegan or vegetarian boxer was Eder Jofre, who was probably one of the top 3 bantamweights in history. He only lost twice, both to the same fighter Fighting Harada. Terrific fights, especially the firat one. He retired and after a few years came back and won the featherweight title. He is an ATG.

        I believe that vegans won't even drink cow or goat milk, or eat eggs or fish. I knew a family in England years ago, who were all vegetarians-3 tall sons and a daughter. They served wonderful meals, the tastiest I've ever had. The daughter was extreme and was a vegan. She later became ill from lack of vital nutrients and required much medical treatment. I suppose that veganism was not well enough known then.

        It worked for Jofre. Is Bradley not a vegan except in camp? What does he normally eat?

          They're fine. Plan it carefully and take B12 supplements (there is no vegan source of it, regardless of what the vegan lunatics try to tell you).

          For the record, vegan means NO animal products or byproducts. Nothing.

          Personally, I eat naturally and almost only eat fish when it comes to "meat". That's probably the healthiest plan to abide by, if you have no moral problems with eating a fish. And I don't.

            All I have to say is I tip my hat off to those who can go the vegan route.

            Pork to me is like cotex to cuchi, steak like peanut butter to jelly, chicken like skinny jeans to wedgie's, fish like Ky to morning ************.

            I think you get the idea folks...
