Kare News: Bill Clinton has gone Vegan..... -- (link) - Remlik Aug 19, 17:08 28
- "I did not eat that woman... Miss Lewinsky" -- nm - Vegan Bill Aug 19, 17:51
- french fries are still a threat though -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 19, 17:26 20
  - yeah, it's definitely possible to be fat and unhealthy on a vegan diet if you eat crap. -- nm - loosilu Aug 19, 17:26 19
    - This just fries my mind. - the liioulu without wings Aug 19, 17:31 18
      - it's totaly possible to eat craploads of starch and sugar. -- nm - loosilu Aug 19, 17:35 17
        
        Then it isn't a proper vegan diet. just one that sort of looks like it. -- nm - the liioulu without wings Aug 19, 17:37 16
        
        vegan means no animal products. easiest thing in the world to live on bread. -- nm - loosilu Aug 19, 17:38 15
        
        like I said for me it also means a lot of fresh fruit and vegetables. - the liioulu without wings Aug 19, 17:40 14
        
        I was vegan (and more to the point, a low fat one so no peanut butter or tofu) for almost a year, I still didn't eat enough fresh fruit and veggies - zeitgeist Aug 19, 17:48 9
        
        Never quite a vegan (love cheese and butter too much) , but have been a vegetarian on and off. - the liioulu without wings Aug 19, 17:51
        
        fruit is, biologically speaking, junk food, with some exceptions. High sugar with no protein, and a few vitamins. - loosilu Aug 19, 17:51 7
        
        Most people do fine with fruit, since it combines fiber and sugar. (Of course, nobody does well with sugar without the fiber.) -- nm - mara Aug 19, 18:08 1
        
        there's a reason why most weight-loss diets restrict it. - loosilu Aug 19, 18:17
        
        There is a theory that if you don't eat enough fat or cholesterol your body will produce moe of it and hike. - the liioulu without wings Aug 19, 17:53 3
        
        the best cholesterol reading I ever got was when I was on a strict Atkins diet, eating red meat and butter every day. - loosilu Aug 19, 17:55 2
        
        I only heard it recently. My sister is a vegetarian practically vegan and her cholesterol is low. -- nm - the liioulu without wings Aug 19, 17:58 1
        
        people are different. :) - loosilu Aug 19, 18:07
        
        oh yes, and I gained weight, even though I was riding 10-15 miles a day on my bike, in super hilly Ithaca. -- nm - loosilu Aug 19, 17:53
        
        fwiw, if that's the mainstay of your diet, you'll be low on protein and fats (which are essential). -- nm - loosilu Aug 19, 17:42 3
        
        That's what tofu and beans are for. you mix them with the grains to get complete proteins. - the liioulu without wings Aug 19, 17:45 2
        
        but you said mainly vegetables! -- nm - loosilu Aug 19, 17:47 1
        
        Mainly, not solely. They're all plant products. -- nm - the liioulu without wings Aug 19, 17:49
- Chicken isn't vegan?? -- nm - Todd Aug 19, 17:18 4
  - They eat bugs. -- nm - the liioulu without wings Aug 19, 17:18 3
    - And fox. -- nm - the liioulu without wings Aug 19, 17:19 2
      - I think it's the fox that eats the chickens. -- nm - loosilu Aug 19, 17:19 1
        
        If the chickens don't get them first. ;) - the liioulu without wings Aug 19, 17:23
- Good for him. -- nm - loosilu Aug 19, 17:15

  - Was Tampa Bay the team playing to win? - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 19, 17:19 1
    - Yes, and Todd Haley was blunt about the fact that he couldn't care less about results until the 11th. -- nm - David Aug 19, 17:47
  - [deleted] 11
    - What was our preseason record the year we won the Super Bowl? - Michael Aug 19, 17:10 10
      - That would matter if ML was talking about your team winning or losing. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 19, 17:18
      - [deleted] 8

        I think it depends on Manning. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 19, 17:22 2
        
        I don't like anything about Jacksonville. If Manning is not right, I think the Texans make the most sense. -- nm - David Aug 19, 17:53 1
        
        I only picked them by process of elimination. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 19, 18:07

  - We got enough downpour that the manhole cover fingerholes were spurting water straight up along the sidewalk. -- nm - Max Aug 19, 17:02 3
    - there was quite a lot of flooding on Four Mile Run. -- nm - loosilu Aug 19, 17:05 2
      - related: Arlington County just issued a flash flood warning. -- nm - loosilu Aug 19, 17:22 1
        
        I think this is the first week in awhile that we haven't had one. -- nm - the liioulu without wings Aug 19, 17:24
  - it's letting up a bit here. I think we'll make it through with power intact (in this building). -- nm - loosilu Aug 19, 16:56
  - I hope that doesn't happen to you. I can see the 7 train from my apt. and it's stuck outside between stations. - Krusty Aug 19, 16:46

    - I've got several of the short story books, but it took a long time to find them. - the liioulu without wings Aug 19, 17:04 3
      - I found all of mine at the library. -- nm - loosilu Aug 19, 17:06 2
        
        Mine didn't have them. A lot of the rest of her work but not those. -- nm - the liioulu without wings Aug 19, 17:09 1
        
        I was very lucky growing up. Whoever chose the Young Adult books for our library had great taste. -- nm - loosilu Aug 19, 17:16
