I actually don't really want to debate, just ask a few questions. Would you prefer that to go on over at s/vegan?

Edit: Typo.

I used to be a raw vegan. If you don't mind my chiming in.

What is a raw vegan?

[–] • 1 pt

Don't cook the food at all.

Idea behind it is that cooking takes away a lot of nutrients. So no cooking = equals more nutrients absorbed

Yeah that's the theory behind it all.

Nevermind the fact that a lot of food can't be eaten raw. Or a lot are easier to digest cooked.

Probably the only vegan here period. And nah that's fine, you can ask here

Cool.

What made you become vegan? Was it a gradual process or an event?

I was fat for most of my life. I eventually lost the weight. I didn't want to get fat again, so I thought "A vegan diet is very restrictive, so there's no way I'll get fat if I eat vegan."

Now I do it for the animals, health, and environment, in that order.

Hmm. Interesting. Most vegetarians I know (I don't personally know any vegans) started out by being exposed to it by other vegetarians.

What is your typical daily food intake like?
