Hot Ex-Vegans; Donal O'Neill Can Turn a Phrase

If you read Fathead, you've heard of exvegans.com and the documentary Cereal Killers. But if you didn't follow the links, you've missed out on some great stuff.

Want some eye candy or a good laugh? You must check out www.exvegans.com. The site is a directory of "ex-vegans" and "vegan sell-outs" that names names gives the cities, descriptions and photographs of vegan apostates.

Where can I meet one of these ex-vegan guys? Most of them look like magazine models and sound more interesting than dating site bios that try to sound interesting. Raw Brahs, San Diego: "Pretty boys who make videos famous-for-being-famous but not much more." Sean Dunaway, Las Vegas: "Originator of 30 bananas a day sucks.   Was vegan and 'got too skinny' so is now a meat-eater and body builder.  This guy plays favorites on the forum and takes sides.  He is  very cruel how he socially manipulates the forum and you get a sick feeling around him .  He encourages no judgement but then is the most judgmental and nepotistic tyrant there.  Carnal, cruel, cunning, status-climbing, hitting on women.  A convicted hacker and felon.  If he was gentle as a vegan what could have possibly happened since then?" Ah, there's something about a good boy who's gone bad.

The site is so earnest that it makes me wonder if it's really a joke. "Now eats pure murder," it says of Chris Kresser. Athlete Devon Crosby Helms must be a liar or a malingerer: "She also claimed a long list of bogus health ailments. Maybe these ex-vegans should keep it realistic and keep it to one or two ailments." The webmaster even outed her roommate: "Found her on Craigslist and when looking for a STRICT vegan roommate. Seven months later she started eating meat again and leaving dead corpses in the fridge even though we AGREED to have a totally animal-product free household." Emphasis in original.

EDITED TO ADD: New entry: "Sheryl was one of my best fiends from college and we shared our beliefs about food and animal rights. Whe she married her husband Ricardo Busatamante she began to eat seafood and even meat in occasions. I just want to sell her out for preferring her husband over me and changing a healthy lifestyle for one where the murdering of poor animals is acceptable." OK, this site has to be a joke--and it's hilarious and brilliant. People have been ostracized and even threatened for leaving the Holy Church of Veganism, and this site can, I hope, make them laugh and reach out to others like themselves.

Donal O'Neill, marketer, former athlete and now a filmmaker, has one of the best-written low-carb blogs I've seen: LetFatBeThyMedicine.com. Some lines from his posts: "Wasn’t Ancel Keys a member of Guns n Roses?"  "I started spending hours in the Pub. Pubmed that is." "Humble apologies mother. You were right after all." "The benefits of exercise are wide, varied and certainly compelling, but over time you simply cannot outperform a poor diet." "Avoidance of illness is your job. You get to listen to whomever you want and try anything you care to. But know this – YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN." If you want to help get the word out about the documentary, you can help fund it at Kickstarter.com.

Winning! Read some good news!

The good news keeps on coming. After four years of the country being in the biggest mess that most of us have lived through, it feels like spring is here early. The cold wind is refreshing, the snow is sparkling, and the days are getting longer.  Photo from Pixabay . If you're getting this post by email, click here to see embedded videos from X. Trump bans the chemical and surgical mutilation of children in the name of "gender affirming care."  This is just an executive order, which the next president could overturn; we need Congress to pass a law. The CIA admits COVID was mostly likely a lab leak after all. "The CIA analysis supporting lab origin of COVID was completed and published internally during the Biden administration. It was withheld from the public by the Biden Administration in violation of the COVID-19 Origin Act of 2023, which mandated release," said Richard H. Ebright on X.  The CIA now says lab leak is the most likely explanation for COVID-19. R...

COVID Vax Mandate for Legal Immigrants Ends

From Townhall.com : During the Biden administration the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, the office that processes applications for legal immigration, implemented a COVID-19 vaccine mandate for individuals seeking to obtain a green card and eventually, American citizenship. They did not implement the same vaccine requirement for millions of illegal immigrants crossing into the U.S. from Mexico. Today and under new leadership from President Donald Trump, that requirement came to an end. "Effective January 22, 2025, USCIS waives any and all requirements that applicants for adjustment of status to that of a lawful permanent resident present documentation on their Form I-693, Report of Immigration Medical Examination and Vaccination Record, that they received the COVID-19 vaccination. USCIS will not issue any Request for Evidence (RFE) or Notice of Intent to Deny (NOID) related to proving a COVID-19 vaccination. USCIS will not deny any adjustment of status applicat...

Not Only Cheaper, But Easier

A while back, I wrote about saving money on break time coffee and snacks. I haven't done very well putting it into practice. But a post by James Clear today got me thinking about it again: Warren Buffett uses a two-list system to prioritize things. Check it out --and follow the instructions. Using Buffett's two-list system, two of the goals I ended up with were taking care of myself and saving $400 more per month than I already am. As I said, I've been wanting to save money, and the system made me really focus on this. I came up with 11 money-saving ideas, six of which had to do with food. Buying hamburger in bulk. Ranch Foods Direct sells one-pound packages of 80% lean pastured ground beef in bundles of 20 for a lot less than Whole Foods. Sprouts only carries super-lean beef that's grass-fed, and it's more expensive, too.  Not driving to Whole Foods. Whole Foods is out of my way, and saving a weekly trip saves gas. Coffee at home, tea at work. Tea is fr...

Let's Grow Vegetables from Seed

MAHA may be a great idea, but what you do at your house is more important for your health than what's happening at the White House. Growing your own vegetables provides food that's fresher and tastes better than store-bought and helps you get some fresh air, sunshine and exercise. If you grow enough, you can even can your own sauces and soups that don't have any franken-food ingredients. My first time growing celery from seed.  Here in central Indiana, it's time to plant celery from seed since the average last frost date is 10 weeks away. In a few weeks, it'll be time to plant tomatoes. There are a couple of ways to figure out when to start various seeds where you live: You can find out when it's time to plant things by 1) looking up your average last frost date, 2) getting a seed packet and looking at the instructions for starting the seeds indoors, and 3) counting backwards on a calendar by the number of weeks indicated. You could also ask Grok (X's AI fea...

Blog Lineup Change

Bye-bye, Fathead. I've enjoyed the blog, but can't endorse the high-fat, high-carb Perfect Health Diet that somehow makes so much sense to some otherwise bright people. An astrophysicist makes some rookie mistakes on a LC diet, misdiagnoses them, makes up "glucose deficiency," and creates a diet that's been shown in intervention studies to increase small LDL, which can lead to heart disease. A computer programmer believes in the diet and doesn't seem eager to refute it because, perhaps, scientists are freakin' liars and while he's good at spotting logical inconsistencies, lacks some intermediate knowledge of human biology. To Tom's credit, he says it's not the right diet for everyone, but given the truckload of food that has to be prepared and eaten, impracticality of following it while traveling (or even not traveling), and unsuitability for FODMAPs sufferers, diabetics and anyone prone to heart disease (i.e., much of the population), I'm...
