Hey comrades,
I’m a part of a discord server called Vegan Theory Club that’s run by mix of leftist tendencies. It’s a theory club that’s explicitly leftist and vegan, but we talk about more than just the book of the month.
We just started reading Eternal Treblinka - Our Treatment of Animals and the Holocaust by Charles Patterson, which we voted for. (Our last book was Kapital.) Right now is the perfect time to join!
We’d love to have you!
u/Jerry_the_Goat - originally from r/GenZhouYou’re not alone, this report says that more than 40% of ppl worldwide suffers from some sort of gastrointestinal disorder (tummy aches). The solution to this is higher fibre intake, increase it slowly, incrementally and from variety of sources (fruits with their skin, vegetables, legumes, grains, nuts and those fibre breakfast cereals, you know which one).
Every person on plant-based diet went through this unless they ate that way since being born. For my bowels it took them about 3 weeks to adjust to new diet, grow new gut microbes that feed on plant matter not dairy and meat, stop gurgling after I eat a carrot etc.
If you eat enough fibre and still experience intestinal problems then that could be the result of the stress in your life and with that I cannot help.
u/courtneygoe - originally from r/GenZhouI’m almost 34 years old. I didn’t need you to explain fiber to me, a person who has had intense GI problems since birth and hereditary weak gall bladder that runs in my family. Diet modifications/management saved me from the emergency gall bladder removal 90 percent of the women in my family need before they’re 30. Diet alone still leaves me sick. Illnesses exist, your comment makes you seem like a naive fool. Maybe consider the fact that people know their own medical problems better than you do.
u/Jerry_the_Goat - originally from r/GenZhouOk, it’s just everyone on reddit seems to have those uncommon diseases preventing them from eating vegetables. I’m curious though, shouldn’t ppl with failing gallbladder problems eat low-fat and low-cholesterol diets? I’m asking cos like I said, I’m learning every day from redditors with unique medical history
And if you absolutely can’t stomach any more fibre then you’ll be delighted to know that you can eat low-fibre plant-based diet. How cool is that. I’m sure that you’ll make use of that obscure information, how rude it would be to just refuse to learn and try new things.
u/calciumpotass - originally from r/GenZhouWhat the actual fuck with that atitude
u/Jerry_the_Goat - originally from r/GenZhouI’m sorry that my stance against animal exploitation is not to your liking. Maybe say it out loud what do you really expect of me. What kind of attitude you can tolerate. Do you wish that vegans would grant some ppl exclusive rights to eat animals? Would you even care if they do? I bet that the only attitude you’d wish to see from vegans is that of a silence, total indifference, basically anything that wouldn’t make you think and reexamine your way of treating animals.
I swear, every conversation about changing one’s life to benefit the society goes exactly the same way, no matter if we’re talking with lib, leftist, conservative or whoever. Everyone have one in a kind relationship with their diet, their entertainment and all of their commodities. You could try listing all the benefits of idk swapping car for public transport and someone will swear to god that they can’t live without driving everywhere, and all anti-car ppl are evil and can’t understand their circumstances. You could try dissuading ppl from buying from nestle and you’ll find that autism or ED prevents some from going without their cereals and candy bars
🤷 tough luck, it seems that nestle, car centred cities and animal agriculture will have to stay forever. Idk how someone could ever try to change society for the better
u/calciumpotass - originally from r/GenZhouVegans are cool, you’re just a caricature of what conservatives think of them.
u/Jerry_the_Goat - originally from r/GenZhouLol, you started agreeing with conservatives whenever someone else proposes a change that’s slightly inconvenient for you?
