Both my wife and I are both ethical Vegans, We both find in disturbing how few people within the atheist community don't see the dietary indoctrination that surrounds us in the same way that they do Religious dogma. In some ways the two are often very related.....
Discussion please:
cheers

Interesting article on the relationship between diet and mental health
Permalink Reply by VeganApe on December 4, 2011 at 12:52am Check the CSIRO they are a far more reputable sight and deffinately not biased toward Vegans. They have nothing but good things to say about a Supplemented Vegan Diet. Any of these negative statistics are only created from Vegans like yourself..People Who do not apply modern nutritional information...by the way there are also places for recovering meat eaters........They are called "HOSPITALS" You may have seen them,,,,

Permalink Reply by VeganApe on December 4, 2011 at 1:30am there's abetter book called the healthy heart diet which is the latest edition CSIRO diet and is RED in colour
Permalink Reply by Alice on December 4, 2011 at 1:37am I'm having a lot of trouble with the links on the site not working - I've put in a complaint.
I did a search of the site for vegan - and it came back with no results.
It did come up with links for vegetarian....
Permalink Reply by Alice on December 4, 2011 at 1:23am I had a read of the website and I've bought the total well being book..... so I'm looking forward to having a science based diet... thanks :)

another interesting website with advice on what to eat when suffering from mental ill health.
It doesn't mention to go vegan....
Permalink Reply by VeganApe on December 4, 2011 at 12:49am That is a silly point of argument.......most doctors don't mention a lot of things because they know public acceptance is low. Just like how Obama does not say he is an atheist or Julia guillard says she is against gay marriage.
Permalink Reply by Alice on December 4, 2011 at 1:01am if vegans in the uk are at 0.3% then I would expect that at the most vegan doctors would be at about the same 0.3 % or less - in which case I would also suspect that most doctors eat meat of some sort - and would therefore suggest to their patients to eat a 'normal' diet, that includes meat.

OK. I am venting. My mother died two weeks ago. She was a “god fearing christian.” Before her death she refused all medical treatment. She wanted to be left alone. She even refused to speak with my brother who is a methodist minister. He is a pip, let me tell you! I suspect she did not believe, but a woman born in her time could not and did not state her actual beliefs. This is the opening salvo to all christians; FUCK YOU! I had so many people come and tell…

This probably should not have shocked me as much as it did (especially since I am in Texas). I actually thought my coworkers were playing a joke on me because they know I am an atheist. Sadly, this was no joke. This actually happened.
I work in a psychiatric hospital. The doctors who admit patients are general MDs. (Psychiatrists see patients after admission) Yesterday evening we received several calls from irate parents. A new doctor who was doing admissions yesterday actually…

What do you think of this,
Nathan Young,
No Jason Torpy it is you that should be banned for promoting atheism, a belief that has no foundation in reality and zero proof behind it. The letter was a mockery of your atheist beliefs. I request to the board here that they remove Jason for his unverifiable beliefs in atheism for which he has no proof other than his arrogance. The letter was a mockery of atheism. Atheism is stupid and it should be mocked and it…

What do you think of this Facebook comment?
Nathan Young to Jason Torpy,
for once you and I can agree on something. We should disrespect beliefs that are untenable such as the belief that there is no God. Indeed for me to respect you Jason, I cannot respect your belief in non-belief in atheism. Your atheism comes across as arrogrance, smugness, and self righteous. Indeed after reading "An Open Letter to My Religious Friends" I penned one…
