I think I'll put in my two cents worth on an off topic(vegan) subject.
Does anyone follow the cable show "Whale Wars"? I watched this show for the last two seasons, not because I agree with their activism, but because TV in America is so awful there is very little that I can stand to watch.
Anyhow, for anyone who watches the show, you know that the crew does a lot of dumb things. There is constant arguing on the ship. A lot of it is shown on the air, but even more isn't. You only know something happened when the ship stops for supplies and a half dozen or more people leave the ship and don't complete the season.
I was on the Animal Planet (the cable channel that produces Whale Wars) web site awhile back and started watching film clips that aren't shown on TV. That’s when I found out that the Sea Shepherd ships are 100% vegan! Every Sea Shepherd volunteer is FORCED to eat a vegan diet when they are at sea. The Animal Planet channel is VERY careful not to show you this on TV. Someone might connect the dots and figure out that veganism has negative affects on your ability to reason and handle stress. By the way, the captain and Sea Shepherd chief executive, Paul Watson is the fattest vegan I have ever seen! He is either a total hypocrite or he's drinking lots of vegan beer when the ships are in port!

This is a reply to # 1,728,623Good show. It's one of the only "reality" shows that I'll watch because it's, well... realistic.
I've watched many episodes of this show, and you are right in that I've never seen mention of the fact that the Sea Shepherds are entirely vegan. The only time you hear about it is from interviews or other programs where Paul mentions it.
Paul Watson does seem to be rather large for someone who is completely vegan. Maybe he is fond of vegan cookies, or something. - Re: Whale Wars is a perfect example ... grzbear

Just for the record, I will always state that *some* people, perhaps about 20%, if they do it right, which takes a great deal of work, effort, and perseverance, not to mention requires for most, a dependency on the global food agribusiness, CAN follow a vegetarian\vegan diet and remain healthy... some of the most important aspects of this are attention to culturing and maintaining good, beneficial gut microflora, AND, consuming a good quantity of healthy fatty foods (avocados, etc.) and raw, whole, unrefined oils, AND paying attention to B vitamin rich food consumption, especially B12.
It is the fats and oils, specifically the types of fats and oils, that help to keep one's *mind* about them enabling them to use common sense, reason, and maintain an even keel.
I worked with a *fat* vegetarian before myself... he had narcolepsy, high blood pressure, and diabetes as well.
From my observations, he may have been an obligatory omnivore... however, his diet had become his *religion* and there was no changing that.
