I ate too much for lunch.

I'm getting pretty tired of the arguments in wattpad forums, but I was kind of hoping there wouldn't be in the Improve Your Writing section. Or at least less.
Oh boy. ^^;

My brother was just listing a load of made up facts about how vegetarianism can kill children. How do I know they're made up? Because I researched vegetarianism fairly extensively for my thesis, know the figures internationally and he has somehow forgotten this large chunk of my life.

But there's no point arguing. He's a teenager.

Someone who I taught all the basics of art to is being treated better by my art professor simply because they do more realistic stuff and i do more character design for people, and my prof doesn't like anything that isn't impressionism, surrealism, or realism.

so now that person is in a higher level class while i'm stuck in the lower level one, and I taught them everything they know.

the prof knows that i can do realism, but refuses to put me in a higher level class because of the fact i still draw in a more cartoon-y style so yeah im kinda frustrated lmao

[ChristodeBoyet]

Have you ever tried reporting the professor to either the head of the department or the dean? That's something that professor shouldn't be doing.

[Natmundoesstuff]

I've tried. My school is much more focused on STEM-like courses, so when I brought it up to them they dismissed it, saying that each teacher has their own preferences and I should conform to them.

Ah, well. I don't have much longer before I can switch out of this course anyway, so I can ride it out for another year or so.

[ChristodeBoyet]

That's bullshit... I would straight sue.

I heard about 3 small kids hospitalised in Italy I think (don't really remember the country), reasons was that they where on a vegan diet since birth, malnourished basically

just curious if it was true or did the news lie again? =0

[IdiotWithPencil]

prof doesn't like anything that isn't impressionism, surrealism, or realism.

I hate these kinds of people |C, saying what is art by their own preferences is just useless and narrow-minded, except post-modern that is straight up trash XD

saying that each teacher has their own preferences and I should conform to them.

treat him as a client, clients usually are selfish and petty, and you will have to deal with them when you go out into the professional sphere, better to learn how to deal with them now than regret it later sadly =/

Vegetarians need to eat smart in order to get a complete and balanced diet. Although to be fair, what happened in Belgium was an extreme case.

. . . baby Lucas, who died at seven months old with organs shrunk to half their size and without any fat around them . . .

. . . weighing only 4.3 kilogrammes (9.5 pounds), barely a 1 kilogramme (2.2 pounds) more in weight than when he was born. . . .

The parents own a natural dietary shop and backed alternative food to the fullest, applying it to their newly born third child.

Even though the baby was not diagnosed with lactose or gluten intolerance, the parents suspected Lucas had that, and started experimenting with different alternatives like rice, quinoa and buckwheat milk. They did not consult a doctor, court papers show and stopped going to social care for babies.

Instead they took advice from clients at the shop and looked on the internet.

On the day of his death, when his situation quickly deteriorated, Lucas was first taken to a homeopathic doctor. He was dead when he finally got to a hospital.

My brother's girlfriend (at the time, obviously not anymore more) killed his cat in her attempt to convert the cat to a vegetarian diet during the period of time my bro asked her to look after the cat.

She's convinced it wasn't the diet, but that 'her stomach was probably full of tumours from all the meat the cat ate BEFORE going on a healthy vegetarian diet'

[joe_galindez]

Reminds me of the joke about the man who halved his horse's feed for one month, then halved it again for the second month, and then halved it again for the third month. Then the horse died.

"Sheeeit. Just when I was getting it used to living on no food at all."

[DiegoPalacios]

The sad and ironic thing about this is she ended up killing an animal in her attempt to avoid killing animals...

If people want to be vegetarian or vegan is okay, and i respect it, But forcing it on other living beings (like animals and babies) without being informed about the nutrients and the diet they need is dangerous and deadly.

Sorry for your brother`s cat.

Ignorance is a curse for everyone.

[DiegoPalacios]

The ironic thing about art classes is they expect people to do things a certain way, instead of developing your own style. And the extra irony comes from people selling a white empty picture for millions of dollars.

There is this quote from Picasso: “Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist.” Maybe art classes just go to the "Learn the rules like a pro" part.

I am not familiarized with the most advanced art classes, so i wonder if they eventually reach the "so you can break them like an artist" part.

[IdiotWithPencil]

this scene of futurama spring to mind from that story D=, poor cat

I follow this philosophy, and I think art class don't go on the breaking part, mostly cause you should develop it yourself, art class are for learning the rules you alone need to learn how to break them.

at least that is what I think

[IdiotWithPencil]

my god that is horrible and sad ='C, I know this is just and isolated incident but my god it is horrible and paints a really bad picture for people who are vegans/vegetarians =/

[LordVincent]

Actually if you are a person who does well on a vegetarian diet at all (not everyone does, unlike what the dietician extremists and cloudeyed hippies would like to tell you. I tried it according to the guidelines and I did well on it for a while but eventually not so much.) then doing it well isn't all that hard.
Ovo-lacto-vegetarians eat dairy and eggs but no meat and no fish. Getting all the neccessary nutrients in this case is super easy tbh.

Any diet requires its research, but it's the vegan diet that is actually hard and can truly do extreme harm if not done according to recommendation.

Here are some things that can happen if a vegan doesn't consume vitamin B12 supplements or products fortified with the nutrient:

Weakness, tiredness, or lightheadedness
Heart palpitations and shortness of breath
Pale skin
A smooth tongue
Constipation, diarrhea, loss of appetite, or gas
Nerve problems like numbness or tingling, muscle weakness, and problems walking
Vision loss
Mental problems like depression, memory loss, or behavioral changes

Sometimes people display extreme behavioral changes and everyone thinks they've gone mentally insane... until they get medically checked and it's revealed they're low on vitamin B12.

Also the belgium case sounds more like the result of ridiculous media influence. Everyone preaches avocado, kale and quinoa and shames milk, potatoes, etc etc... Basically it's all a poorly disguised media scam aimed to get people to buy this or that product because they think the things they would actually rather eat and which are actually healthy for them will KILL THEM!!!!!!1111

I was a vegetarian. I did well for a while. Learnt to eat more veggies, so I am glad I did it. Then one day it just didn't work anymore, despite me following guidelines.
I became pescatarian. Worked well for a while! Learned to eat more fish than I did when I had been a carnivore. Eventually my morals changed and I began eating meat again, but preferrably only meat that has been manufactured/bred in an animal and environment friendly way. And honestly, either this or the pescatarian diet works best for me.

I also tried the healthy bullshit. Started out with just cutting down on added sugars, cutting down on wheat and the like, and instead eating more veggies and fruit. Worked for a short time but I soon began having stomach issues.
I tried gradually adding wheat back in and consuming light products alongside it. Worked for a while. Then the stomach problems began again.

Some people love these products and have no problem with them. Some people feel better on the vegan diet, or vegetarian diet, or sugar free veggies and fruit all around diet. As for me, it appears that if I eat too much fruit and veggies I will spend my time suffering on the loo. Obviously my body was telling me something.

So yeah everyone is different. BUT. LET ADULTS FIGURE THEIR OWN WAY OUT. DON'T FORCE YOUR EXTREME DIETS ONTO CHILDREN OR ANIMALS THAT CANT SAY "NO" FOR FUCKS SAKE.

yeah I'm against forcing children into these diets -_- mostly cause it ain't healthy for them, being a kid you can't get all the nutrients you need from just veggies or meat you need a mix from both to be healthy,

plus we are omnivores we need both to surivive
