Were any of your parents plant based, vegetarian, vegan, or did they otherwise stress the importance of eating vegetables?

vegetables are not healthy. nations that ate vegetables got conquered by nations that ate blood, milk, and flesh, again and again and again. The smartest man to ever live (most likely, with an estimated iq of 1/100 billion rarity) was Isaac Newton and he grew up on an animal farm. children breastfed for 5 years have an IQ 20 points higher on average than children breastfed 1 year. nutrition comes from animal foods. 100%

Your update is silly n unrelated but i have a good story.

My parents ate beef n i did too.

My ma would "call me to dinner" and lie it was ready! So i would come. While i waited, because she lied,

i could only eat vegetables. While waiting

But nobody believed liars! I stopped coming home when they called me.

Both my parents and my grandparents cooked most meals with vegetables. Some they even grew in their gardens.

that's cute.

[DryGermanGuy]

Hardly. It was a simple necessity to eat enough after world war 2. And many families kept that custom to get healthy vegetables without chemicals.

[Asker]

good point. once beaten slaves have to resort to eating vegetables they keep eating vegetables

[Nikki1989]

No, but I have mostly only ever ate veggies and fruit anyway. I hate the taste of most meats.

They aren’t vegan or anything but of course stressed the importance of a healthy diet.

Vegetables aren't healthy

[Asker]

Maybe they're healthy if you're eating meat from the 1970s that have no polyphenols and antioxidants, like is naturally in grass fed beef and wild caught fish. it's an outdated trope that they're necessary to be healthy

[Abbycado]

All science says otherwise. Muted for being stupid.

"Vegetables aren't healthy "

The fuck? lol

[Asker]

What science

[Asker]

if you're not eating enough raw meat, or at least rare beef, you will develop severe nutrient deficiency eventually that affects how you think feel and act. if you don't eat enough vegetables, you miss out on anti nutrients, some debatably healthy polyphenols, pesticides and herbicides, and some vitamin K1. that's it. fiber? you can get it in its water soluble form bacteria actually feed on from fruits. what's ironic, the longer you go without raw meat, the harder it is to figure out you need it.

[Asker]

I take that last comment back: vitamin K1 is in beef liver and polyphenols are in wild or grass fed meats, along with 40,000 other potentially unidentified nutrients in meat like creatine, carnitine, etc that directly affects mental health, that aren't in plants OR in well cooked meat

[Asker]

now if you are cooking your meat to oblivion because it is raised in unhealthy conditions and toxic, then yes, raw vegetables will most likely offer you health benefits from the intact polyphenols, vitamins, etc

this is not because vegetables are inherently healthier than meat. I'd argue that today, vegetables are far more toxic due to pesticides and herbicides

this is a stupid take? ok you aren't scientific. scientific people are open minded, they aren't religious. but what else can I expect from a 19 year old girl

My parents were not strictly plant-based, but they always emphasized the importance of eating vegetables. Growing up, our family meals were filled with vibrant, colorful vegetables that made the dishes not only delicious but also visually appealing. This early exposure cultivated my love for fresh produce, which now plays a significant role in my culinary explorations. Whether in a classic Caprese salad or a delicate sushi roll with crisp cucumber, the versatility of vegetables continues to inspire my gastronomic adventures. 🌱🍅
