    Dude, there's a lot more to a vegan diet than just eating vegetables. You think all those protein shakes and powders weightlifters and body builders gulp down are made from cows?

    Its generally whey, or casein. Sometimes soy. Too much soy will make your estrogen levels skyrocket though. I've even bought pea protein once that I took one drink of and almost puked , then through away.

    For dinner I had a medium-rare ribeye, side of baked potato, cottage cheese and asparagus.

    Yea, but then you have to eat like 500 grams of tofu, 400 grams of nuts and 1 cup of beans (which sounds disgusting) just to reach about ~130 grams of protein.

    Idk, i think rich vegans have some secret delicious options we know nothing about.

    I know you like to say things to be a contrarian, or that you somehow are more knowledgeable than us or a pro athlete, but I don't think that extra 5 pounds on him is going to make a huge difference.

    For reference, Stephen Curry weighs 190 pounds.

    It was good to hear Damians perspective on his dietary change, I'm glad that you posted link to the video of him talking about why he changed his diet...

    Real women eat whatever we want.

    Cats, however, are obligatory carnivores. They evolved for tens of millions of years as carnivore. They can't digest carbohydrates or use plant oils for energy, nor can they convert beta-carotene to Vitamin A (which humans and dogs can).

    If you're going to worry about estrogen levels skyrocketing from soy you should look at milk and cheese first. Pregnant cow lactation is full of estrogen and other hormones.

    That explains why I get so emotional when I eat milk fed veal.

    Is certainly an uninformed opinion. How did Bill Walton play in college? He was the best player ever in college. And no let's not blame his foot issues on being vegetarian.
