I don't know the person she is discussing, however in my opinion it's human nature to change. And when people make their identities based upon what they do or don't do, it's hard to suddenly show up with a new personna. This is why I think it's better to do what feels good to you but not necessarily be this "guru" or such (preaching to other people) because it's a double-edged sword: it may give you an identity, create a source of income, but then you're kind of hamstrung into maintaining it.

I'd give this a thumbs up. Mindy Re: Why do leaders become ex-vegans?

Date: March 25, 2013 01:43PM Watched the video and think her assessment is fair: if you are an ethical vegan and eating correctly, you don't suddenly start eating steaks. There has been a great deal of controversy over Kristen Suzanne--a high[high-fat]raw vegan bodybuilder/chef--because of her rationalizing. It appears that her vegan diet was not healthy and she truly gave herself and her toddler deficiencies that were corrected by resuming animal foods. The controversy lies in the age-old question: Do you need to get nutrients that you are missing from animal foods, or can you get them from an abundant vegan diet? This is something that needs to be continuously discussed because, though I'm sure she doesn't intend to, Suzanne is delegitimizing veganism and even vegetarianism--Suzanne didn't go veg from vegan, but more like Paleo, which is the polar opposite--with her switch and the arguments she is making for it on her blog, etc. Edited 2 time(s).
