What's with this anti-vegetarianism?

Me neither.
There are lots of times I just don't feel like eating meat, when the smell,
the look or the idea of the texture is a real turn off.
To each his own.
This is a support group for LC, not an anti vegetarian group.

I'm not anti-vegetarian, I'm anti MILITANT vegetarian that thinks we are
all awful, evil, fat and unhealthy because we eat animal protein.

I'm in the "personal choice whatever works for you" frame of mind but
like religious fanatics, I dislike other people's preaching being
literally shoved down my throat. :-P PETA is a perfect example of
extremism.

A difference of opinion on lifestyles is fine and can be discussed with
pro's and con's in a civilized manner

When it degenerates into name calling and idiocy like "I'm right and you
are wrong and you are a dumbass and will die early" then I'm pretty much
done with it.

Most of the time anyway. ;-)

There are idiots in both courts.

A balanced diet is best IMHO to include food sources from Plant, animal
and fungal kingdoms.

YMMV.

Well, I'm also anti-troll vegan. Perhaps that's what we have?

Just a few trolls passing through. At a glance it appears
some of them run keyword searches on posts and then go
attack. It's fun to point out the flaws and goad them into
statements that are outright idiocy. But like any troll
infestation it will pass soon enough.

Trolls are low carb, but they turn to stone when exposed
to sunlight. I've always wondered if the stoning process
increases their carb count.

Like OM said.

I have seen the PETA/Vegan anti-everyone else stuff. They have an agenda
that does things like publish Dr. Atkins misrepresented medical records.

I've seen know-it-all messages, purportedly by a Dr. Greger, sent
intrusively into low carb forums, warning that people are killing
themselves, or something like that.

I have suspected that a vegetarian diet supplemented with the proper animal
based nutrients may be a viable option.

I have been a bit envious of the low BMI bodies that vegetarians often
achieve. Many of today's popular movie stars are vegetarians.

As long as they stay away from too many grains and the starchier
veggies.....

Didn't know it was a "trick"... but some do use legumes and grains, yes,
other people use nuts, etc - accompanying a wide variety of vegetables
and fruits. I thought the "where do you get your protein" thing
was a question people posed in the 70s to 80s.... Much like people who are
low carb get bored of the "your kidneys are going to fall out" biz 😉 and
the old "I can never live without my fruit"... There's not a diet out
there that is not deluged with mainstream media ignorance, Atkins,
vegetarian eating, etc... What works for some may not work for others.
Some are best with veg, and some are best with low-carb.

Don't think it does anything for the carbs but it does increase their
mineral intake, Doug.

Hey, me, too. Let em eat all the veggies they want. Leaves more meat
for me.

But coming into a LC group with that smarmy, holier-than-meat-eaters
[censored] was pretty weird. Did he think we'd all "see the light", throw
out our meat and say "good-bye" to LCing?

GFL on that. I mean....Im not going into a vegitarians group to tout
the wonders of meat and fat, am I?

I eat meat because I have to, because it's part, to me, of a well balanced
diet.
I did think, years ago, that I could do without the taste of meat and become
a vegetarian. Even for emotional reasons I could have done that.
But, during that time in which I tried vegetarianism, I gained more weight
and didn't feel all that good.
LC is best for me. I still get in enough veggies and enough in fruit.
