      They start the first time you can mention you are vegan in a conversation that isn’t about food or animal products.

      I use arch btw.

        there is education that goes along with it to actually manage nutrients/macros than just ‘go vegan’ and leave it at that

        beans are not a protein that every body can digest

          That’s why I said statistically. Yeah you can go vegan on oreos and french fries and drag down the stats, but on the whole vegans do better.

          It know, not a great superpower.

      It’s a gradual building process, but some perks happen very quickly. Like your whole body being in distinctly less pain - that can happen in days depending on your inflammation status. Or being super bloated because you started eating way too much fiber way too soon, that can happen in a day.

      After a few years you may find your immune system starts to become superhuman. Not even joking, it’s kind of wild how much more resilient I am to sickness these days. Getting sick far less frequently, symptoms consistently becoming laughably mild, and duration is far shorter too.

      once you go vegan you instantaneously get the power of a smug sense of superiority. though, admittedly, it doesn’t do anything but make you an annoying asshole.
