Comment Re:Nonsense (Score 2) 397

Just the necessary clue to eat your greens with some fat puts even the "low fat" non vegan dietary fad into the "too hard to be sustainable" category. Anything that requires the consumer to have any sort of clue is doomed to increase the general malnutrition level of the population.

It doesn't even have to be a diet for rich political extremists.

People write entire books about this kind of problem.

The heuristic "eat a little bit of everything in moderation" is a much more viable approach.

Viable diets exist within an entire cultural framework that takes the guesswork and research out of not hurting yourself. Anything else is just another variation on fad diets we were told to avoid in our youth.

Ironically, something that looks like a cracker would probably be a much better option. That's a much more portable approach that doesn't require extra resources when eating in the field. Armies have even used this sort of concept for their field rations.

Something that requires mixing assumes infastructure and resources that may not exist.

Plus everyone knows that real Soylent looks like crackers...

Comment It needs codes for free-from those things too (Score 1) 194

It would be as useful (possibly more so) to have icons to say something does NOT contain allergens. i.e. gluten free, lactose free etc. People buying gluten free food often look for a gluten free symbol (e.g. this one) and only then scan the ingredients to look in more detail. So for every code they reserve for an allergen, there should be another code for the opposite - free from that allergen.

Even if I were a normal healthy person, all veganism would get me is a nutritional deficiency.

Although I'm with the guy that rightly pointed out that these cows would still be a problem if we left things "au naturel" since bison covered the states that now grow corn for cattle feed.

The vegans are advocating genocide of one form or another.
