I can;t believe it how some healthcare professional can be so ignorant towards vegan. I am attending a weigh loss group part of the NHS.
I just attended a weight loss group .... the "leader" told me that all nutrition information and question should be asked to him so I asked a few question about carb, protein .. right portion size etc.... he coudln't answer any question ... so there i though well vegan diet is quite specific so i gave him the benefit of the doubt.
then another patient starting joking saying to me that "I should eat my damm steak and get on with it ! " . I was well cheesed off at that point .... but what got me is that none of the professional told him to keep quiet as I have found this comment quite offending.
after that, another guy starting to criticize my diet regarding lack of protein and amino acid as i am not eating any meat or protein etc.... the leader answer promptly saying well that vegetarian and vegan have to live without that !
I just can't believe the ignorance coming from health care professional ... i am quite angry at them as it made me fell like I was from another planet ! ... I dont think i will get back.
sorry i just needed to have a rant as I am quite cheesed off.
