veganism: One of my co-workers on the construction site is showing signs of veganism. You know, the usual signs, like pale skin, weakness, muscle loss, etc.. Are there any other signs I should look for? I want to confront this guy because he is a good friend, however, I want to respect his choices as well. What can I do?|||What you know ANOTHER vegan!! Frankly I'm shocked how many is that in your town 20,000?. Mental is too kind a word to describe you!!! He just isn't a fat guy and that cr** about loosing muscle is rubbish !!!! As Greenghost has said before , we can get EVERYthing we need from a vegan diet (that includes proteins and amino acids - the little building blocks that make up proteins !!!!!!) Take yourself to get some More ECT from the nice Psychiatric day centre and then to vision express for some new glasses and go to the shops, buy yourself a make over ,a life and a personality!!!!!!! H is right about the libido. You are just sore 'cos your friend gets it more than you do!!!|||Go and sleep up a tree.|||Hmm... I guess you could politely ask him if he's a vegan and also GO AWAY NOBODY LIKES YOU.|||Uh, veganism is a way of life...a choice of not eating meat, not eating by products of an animal (eg. honey, eggs, milk), not wearing any type of material made of animal (leather, silk) or even using products that have been tested on animals such as cosmetics or medications. It is NOT an illness like you are implying.|||HI FHG! What can you do? You could accept my generous offer to trade homesteads (under your baldness question) and solve both our problems. I would LOVE to move to your vegan city and I'm sure you would love my area since there isn't another veggie for 90 miles. I know I should list that distance in your native Kilo-metre's but with your meat powered brain I'm sure the conversion factor of 1.6 is no problem for you<g>. Don't you want to be able to raise and slaughter your own animals? I know you can't do that in vegan city where you currently live! Here you'll have several acres to ranch and please accept my apology that my veggie brain can't handle the .4 factor to convert acres to hectares. Don't you want to get away from all those vegans and live in beef country??|||There are no symptoms from veganism. People who shows signs are not eating right. All you might get from turning vegan is a headache because your body is adjusting to your new diet.|||'symptoms of veganism' You're funny.|||There is no signs of veganism. There is only signs of a poor diet. Veganism is actually MUCH better for your body than any diet that has animal products or by products. If you care enough about the guy you may want to get him a book about veganism and tell him that you respect his diet but think is may be a little deficient in something.|||You're so funny. Not.|||These symptoms sound like eating McDonalds for every meal.|||What is your problem? First you pretend to have neighbours who "force" their kids into a vegan diet and want to call the social welfare, then you worry about hair loss in vegans and now you apparently know this guy with the "usual signs" of so-called veganism. What are you, a witch hunter for vegans? Get a life, dude! You are becoming so boring!|||No..it's not veganism..it appears you are spreading that untreated condition you asked about earlier. You should get it checked out..it can be very dangerous to you and those around you.|||Yes! Do you want a list? Okay, you asked for it: Higher sex drive, better stamina, a greater level of magnetism, higher intelligence, a greater degree of kindness and compassion, reduced impact on the environment, increased happiness, increased likelihood of getting a girlfriend, a sense of humour, an ability to laugh at all the people who think you're somehow going to go terribly pale and ill just because you don't eat meat. There, I think that's the ones I've noticed and I'm sure the other vegans have some more. What you can do is stop lying, stop trolling and get off the section dedicated to lovely people like me!|||What century are you from? I thought those were the signs of too much mastubation. Check for hairy palms, and refer him to the barber or a blacksmith for some blood letting. While you're at it, see if his wooden teeth fit properly and check him for fleas, he might have the Black Plague or Consumption.|||My personal symptoms before I move to veganism is discomfort when eating flesh foods and scences of animal suffering flashing across my mind. Pale skin, weakness and muscle loss is not a symptom of Veganism. Unless the vegan is eating junk foods and living on an unbalanced diet. I suppose working on a construction site requires physical exertion. Perhaps u can recommend him to eat a larger proportion of food, including carbohydrate based foods e.g. grains. As well as eat a balanced diet. Below are 2 links to vitamins and minerals and where they can be found in a vegan diet. http://www.vegetarian-society.org/downlo鈥?/a> http://www.vegetarian-society.org/downlo鈥?/a>|||advise protein supplements, xx|||What can you do? How about stopping posting fake questions on here? How many times do we have to tell you a balanced vegan diet is healthier than eating meat?LOL. For any newbies Foxhunter is a vegan and vegetarian hater who gives answers and asks questions that make it sound like he is the only meat eater in a town of vegans. Wish I lived there lol.Most common theory is that he has no life,no friends and some kind of mental illness. P.S. We should feel sorry for him too because apparently they bully him lol.|||I think you mean malnutition brought on by eating a vegan diet? The only way you can really tell is through a blood test- by a doctor. Assuming the problem is brough on by the person themselves, try to offer advice and support as oppose to making some one do something and reassuring them you are trying to help things get better, not trying to control the person. Remind them of the reasons they should get a blood test/help/change what they are doing, If they still say no to a blood test or amking any health changes, all you can do is be ther for them. But check its not already been a legitimate illness which the person doesnt need any help with-as they get help already (eg nothing terrible like aids or sickle cell anemia)|||NO|||ask him if he smokes crack..if not he is a vegan (what else a cause these symptoms??) and now there is more crack for you... if he says yes he is not a vegan and tell him you were kidding.. -Red|||Severe weight loss, yellow eyes, bad temper, total loss of humor, empty soul, uncontrolable desire to goose-step down main street wearing a PETA tee-shirt.|||I would have thought veganism was a hatred of vegans.|||Throw him to the hounds!!!!!!!!!|||There is only real test and cure. Offer him a ham. If he says no he is a vegan. Cure him by force feeding him the ham. Problem solved. In extreme cases replace the ham with black pudding or haggis.|||You cant save him now he is lost to humanity Shotgun the dam zombie and do him a favour|||most vegans start out as vegetarians, which is a sociably acceptable practice. after a while, they start to become politically activistically minded due to certain vitamin and amino acid deficiencies. then they start to spout off "facts" about how they are saving the environment the rest of us are destroying. this leads to a superiority complex. after this, they become almost depraved in their superiority and continually berate the rest of society in our personal choice of food that we eat. its very sad to see this happen to someone who originally had good intentions of trying to achieve a healthy diet.
