Hot damn, you’re totally on the money. Fair play to you. An island of sanity in a sea of “but we’ve eaten fatty meat for thousands of years.”

The worst part of eating almost exclusively plants is all the BS. At first they said I couldn't build muscle, so I started lifting weights. When I could deadlift 3x my weight and do 15 strict pull-ups my diet was not good enough for endurance. So I did a 3.40 marathon after 6 months of preparation. Then I swam 10k in just over 3h.

But every time I get a cold (with 3 kids in kindergarten and school, viruses are obligatory) it is seen as a weakness of my way of life. I even had a congenital condition blamed on my plant-based diet by more than one person, despite me doing a lot better than just about everyone else with that condition (which is probably just luck, my family have done well as well, while eating a standard diet).

Haha. You may be built like Schwarzenegger, but you’ll always be a soyboy (</sarcasm>). I think people find veganism threatening so like to mock those that adhere to those principles instead of performing some soul searching.

I see you have chosen the path of perpetual illness and insomnia.
