ugh, sorry to rant but people can make me so angry! im not even an angry person, but i hate when meat-eaters shut down my facts and tell me they are "a matter of opinion". like many vegans, ive read up on my facts. i have read up about health and nutrition. i make informed decisions about what i eat. last night i was at work listening to two co-workers talk about how they are cutting down on carbs to loose weight. the one girl boasted about how she had only had meat and veggies for dinner. she also said the other day she got a burger and took of the top bun so it was just the patty and the lower bun. the other coworker was nodding her head and saying things like "yea you never know what they put in that bread". i couldnt help myself. i had to interject. i said " you know the saturated fat and cholesterol in meat is way worse than anything youll find in bread" ( i didnt bother mentioning antibiotics or hormones at this point). that where the "well thats a matter of opinion" came in. i calmly explained that the right carbs are very good for you. you can buy all-natural bread that has nothing but whole wheat flour and water in it. carbs come in all forms like potatoes and corn and things that are very good for you. they give you energy and if you replace meat with plant foods like these complex carbs instead of the other way around, you are way better off. its not opinion, there is vast amounts of research that shows this. at that point she rolled her eyes at me so i just stopped trying. sorry for trying to help you ladies...next time ill save my breath
