Is veganism an indicator of mental illness?

[Anonymous]

answer is yes. Severe mental illness

[NamerOfStars]

Veganism is badassery in its most masculine form; the declaration that you are going to live in a manner that you find in line with your morality, even if it means defying the very laws by which Life itself operates. You will not be swayed by tradition, fashion, popular sentiment, or biology.

Frankly, if that's mental illness, then it's the kind we need MORE of, not less.

Isn't everything a self imposed diet?

[Asker]

i eat everything i feel like. Is that a diet? Or is denying myself certain foods a diet?
i dunno. i dont care
i was bored and asked the vegan question coz it amused me at the time

[HelpfulWoman]

No, but how they treat others is

[Asker]

veganism as in self imposed dietary restriction

[HelpfulWoman]

Yes. Plenty of people do similar with restricting certain foods. If anything, veganism for the most part is a more honourable dietary choice since, as the majority, they choose to forgo it all because of the links to animal abuse.

[Asker]

so your answer is yes?
pretty sure animals were created for our food. Its their very reason to exist

[HelpfulWoman]

If reaching was a Olympic sport, you'd win gold.
If anything, believing things were "created' and therefore implying a religious personality, would be the more mentally ill inclined.

[Astarlessnightsky]

LOL, no.

[Asker]

every vegan I've met is mentally ill. So im wondering if making the choice to be vegan indicates mental illness or the diet itself causes mental illness

[Astarlessnightsky]

Its just your confirmation bias.

Also i wonder who diagnosed these people to be mentaly ill, was it you?

[Apple1996]
