The Absurdity Of “Vegans” —and GQ Magazine.

LINK to this absurd drek

GQ magazine, the magazine/website/blog I love to hate, insists on continuing to try to sell us ridiculously expensive ugly clothes (Chanel!) —and even uglier ideas.

Do you know how many “vegans” there are in the US? Take a guess. Nope, you’re wrong. Waaay less than that. There are a little over ONE million, out of a population of 327 million. So what is with the media in general harping continually on this tiny, TINY misguided group of outliers? Everywhere we turn we are blasted with vegan propaganda as if this eating disorder disguised as a health movement actually matters, or that significant numbers of people are adherents. They’re surely not.

Ridiculousness hit a new low at GQ Magazine, Conde-Nast's misguided stepchild, this week with this article aimed at the absolutely minuscule number of bodybuilders who would even consider going “vegan.” And just for the sake of definition, anyone seeking to increase their volume of lean muscle mass is a “body-builder.”

To be clear, you can’t build muscle without animal protein and lots of it. Someone whose brain is so screwed up that it makes sense to them that trying to build muscle while at the same time depriving their muscles of the very nutrients required to build, strengthen and expand muscle could benefit from therapy.

One’s choice of food, its volume and its timing have historically been utilized as a control mechanism for human beings who feel that they have lost control or are out of control. The media only bolsters this dysfunction with its obsession with diets and food-based movements. One look at the staff at this Conde-Nast GQ rag will tell you they know nothing about diet, and even less about exercise. But that has never stopped them from spreading the unfounded and the ridiculous.

As always, I propose that you dismiss any health or fitness articles that don't include a full length photo of the author, which at present would eliminate about 99%. Granted, clueless people don't equate the authenticity of the fitness or diet advice they're receiving with the physical condition of the person delivering it, as fat Dr. Phil's best-selling diet and exercise books, and fitness-related TV infomercials featuring totally out of shape spokespersons have vividly proven.

As a side note, this week a so-called Vegan YouTube “Star” was caught eating meat on video and her whole fake world exploded along with her income stream, so there’s that—people who are YouTube and Instagram famous milking their schtick for every last penny while lying and fabricating and Photoshopping.
