You are free to call it whatever.

I am without allegiances.

The paradox is that by restricting my diet, with an ethically, morally, environmentally and health conscious move to ~veganism, it expanded the variety of food I eat.

When you are unable to rely on old faithfuls, especially meat and dairy, you have to explore other possibilities and really dip into the weird.

I eat in excess of the daily recommended protein amount for my age, body weight, and activity level because I weight train.

My protein comes from beans, quinoa, oats, vegetables, and nutritional yeast.

I’ve long advocated for nutrition labels to include what I call “antinutrition” information.

Things like high oxalate content that, without hydration, can put you at risk of kidney stones.

As a ~vegan I once contracted gout!

What that taught me (via internet knowledge shares, the doctors were completely stumped) was an excess of nutritional yeast.

The daily recommended amount was 3-4 tablespoons per day. I was easily eating 15.

Apparently nutritional yeast has a thing called purines, also found in red meat, and is a cause for gout.

Cut it down to normal consumption levels, and the problem went away.

Some of the entries in this public nutrition database have daily maximum values.

That information needs to be more readily available.

This is carnivore cope.

Ultra processed food eaters have an ultra processed food problem.

I eat a ~vegan diet. (~vegan meaning someone a vegan would refuse to call a vegan, but that anyone else would call a vegan, ie. I eat honey)

I cook all of my food, and it’s all fresh produce, spices, evoo, quinoa, and oats.
