Another Vegan Learns to Live Life Again
Sunday, March 21, 2010This interview with ex-freak … ‘scuse me, ex-vegan Kaleigh Mason is stunning. Kaleigh was not a vegetarian – she was a vegan. No longer. She takes the words right out of my mouth:
The reason the vegan philosophy would appeal to someone with an eating disorder is it fits right in with the program. The vegan diet is essentially a starvation diet, even if you eat loads of nuts, seeds, lentils, beans, fruits and vegetables.
The vegan lifestyle appeals to depressed, bitter, lifeless, soulless people who hate humans, including themselves. Says Kaleigh:
I also gravitated toward veganism because it’s not a balanced diet and I was not a balanced person.
…I was so depressed I couldn’t laugh at funny things or smile anymore. I had always been depressed, but always able to at least smile. This was a new low.
I discovered I was deficient in a multitude of different nutrients that are readily available in animal products. (b12, zinc, iron, magnesium, vit D, Retinol Vit A). I also found out I had hypothyroidism, and when I did some research I found the link between raw cruciferous vegetables and soy blocking thyroid function. Protein and pre-formed Vitamin A from animal products are critical for thyroid health. When you have a slow thyroid you cannot convert beta carotene into Retinol Vitamin A, the form you need for healthy thyroid function.
Before I was vegan I had ONE cavity. I developed eight new cavities in the first two years of being a vegan.
There’s a lot of myth about vegans getting all the protein and nutrients you require from plants. I ate spinach, watercress, spirulina, chlorella, E3 Live — all supposedly high protein sources for vegans. But how can you possibly get enough fat soluble nutrients for your brain/glands when plants rarely contain fat soluble nutrients? Harvey Diamond, David Wolfe and Paul Bragg would like you to believe you can get everything you need from a raw food vegan diet, but try it out for 10 years and watch yourself turn into a neurotic, nervous, hyper sensitive and adrenally burnt-out mess.
Kaleigh also came to think that killing plants and killing animals had something in common, and she also realized that her veganism – which requires a huge carbon footprint – was far more harmful to the environment than buying meat and eggs locally. Once she rediscovered the egg, there was no turning back to her former freak world. Welcome back to life, Kaleigh.
Note: By coincidence, the name of the blog where this interview is posted is the same as a recent blog post of mine: Let Them Eat Meat.

Speaking of the vegans: Here are some vegans at an “anarchist book fair” who three-times shove cayenne-pepper-whipped pies into Lierre Kieth’s face and head. Cayenne pepper would burn, so this really was an act of violence: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPayTWlAQ0k
Free speech anyone?
Has a vegan speaker ever been pelted with anthing by omnivorous humans?
To be fair, here is a video made by one vegetarian girl who discusses the cayenne pepper-pies and what an awful act of cruelty that this event was, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHIZ67xyZFA . Im glad she represents the majority of vegetarians.

It’s ridiculous how ‘ex-vegan’ Kaleigh Mason thinks she has all the answers, when in fact she has NO idea!
Veganism is firstly NOT a “diet” it’s a lifestyle that means compassion for ALL the living, something that Kayleigh obviously doesn’t have!!
I’ve been Vegan for over 10 years & I get all the nutrients I need, without resorting to taking extra vitamins or supplements… I’m EXTREMELY healthy & not at all depressed thank you very much!
Sounds like this whole article has been put together by the meat & dairy lobbyists!!!

Karen, this is a very mean spirited post that demonstrates a serious lack of understanding on your part about veganism. Please consider educating yourself further on what is essentially a compassionate and peaceful movement before spreading such negative and inflammatory writing. THe world is a grumpy enough place without gleefully attacking those who take the right of sentient beings not to be harmed seriously.
Karen De Coster says:
March 22nd, 2010 at 9:24 am
Lack of understanding? Sorry Lou – I am already very well-educated on the topic. Also, the crazed vegans who email me with threats, hate, and hopes that I “drop dead” help to “educate” me further. Look up the Lierre Keith “cayenne pie in the face” incident described on this blog. read more about it at freetheaniamal.com. A huge part of the Vegan movement is militant – that is a fact. The fact that you may not be like them does not change the facts.
Karen De Coster says:

Note that the Vegans are gravitating to my blog to make their points and “spank me” for my mean-spiritedness. Veganism is a politicized lifestyle (agenda), and since all politics involves coercion, it is unlibertarian from the get-go. Vegans always advocate/approve of legislation that denies others on the basis of their own beliefs. They are anti-private property, pro-state, pro-aggression, and they desire to change the way we all live and trade in order to force us to conform to their belief system.
Brendan says:

I agree that veganism may seem quite radical because of a few idiots like the ones at the anarchist book fair. But I respect their ideals and compassion for all lives, as long as they do not resort to any violence.
“I’ve been Vegan for over 10 years & I get all the nutrients I need, without resorting to taking extra vitamins or supplements”
Veganpanda, I find this very astounding. How do you get enough vitamin B12, K2,D and essential fatty acids like DHA and EPA from your vegan diet without resorting to supplements? From what i know, vegans need to be very careful with their diet and take those supplements to thrive.

“The vegan diet is essentially a starvation diet, even if you eat loads of nuts, seeds, lentils, beans, fruits and vegetables.”
LMAO! I’m definitely NOT starving! Doing quite well, thank you. But if some “unbalanced” people decide to eat equally unbalanced vegan diet, that doesn’t mean that balanced vegan diets don’t exist, any more than people eating unbalanced omnivore diets means that one can’t eat a pretty healthy omnivore diet. The problem here is assuming that one case represents them all, which is just illogical and, frankly, silly.
@Karen
Your mistake seems to be believing that vegans all act as one group. We’re individuals. There are liberal vegans, conservative vegans, and quite a few libertarian vegans. And not one of us can speak for all the rest, myself included.
I, for one, am anti-aggression except in self-defense (personally, I have a gun but many vegans are very pacifistic, in fact — though, again, we’re a mixed bag), pro-private property (unless that “property” is other animals, not that I’m taking anyone’s farm away from them by force or legislation), and I am against legislating veganism. However, I do believe in talking to people who are willing to listen and encouraging them to make what I see are better choices because, yes, I think intentionally and unnecessarily harming other animals for our pleasure (whether taste, fashion, or kicks) is morally wrong.
We can agree to disagree on that, but let’s please not resort to name calling and stereotyping. Why not get to know us as individuals before trying to speak for us, huh? Or why not just not spread your assumptions about what we think at all? Because, let’s face it, I have a much better idea about what I am for and against than you do.

I’ll repeat: Veganism is a politicized lifestyle (agenda), and since all politics involves coercion, it is unlibertarian from the get-go. Vegans are forever advocating legislation that denies others on the basis of their own beliefs. They tend toward being anti-private property, pro-state, pro-aggression, and they desire to change the way we all live and trade in order to force us to conform to their belief system. This does not speak for _every single vegan_, but overall, they do resort to violence and they are aggressive in pushing their views and ways of life.
Karen De Coster says:
March 22nd, 2010 at 8:45 pm
Meg, maybe you didn’t read what I said ……. I do know LOTS of vegans. I am witness to the own emails I get, and have been getting on topics like this for 11 years. You have no idea what kind of emails I get, and how crude/vicious/threatening/nasty/hateful they tend to be. If only you could be a fly on my email wall…..Vegans and feminists are among the most ugly of all emailers (and envirocommunists). And vegans of that type are collectivist and anti-freedom. Surely there are some freedomist vegans like you, but you are not in the majority, just as an antiwar/anti-military conservative is not in the majority amongst conservatives. This does not mean I “define people as a group” – I am saying what I see and have come to learn. Veganism _is_ politicized. All politics is about coercion. That’s a problem.
Justin says:
March 22nd, 2010 at 10:56 pm
for an individualist, you sure love to collectivize all vegans, I’m not sure why.
I am not one myself, however, I have met several and they are some of the most radiant, pleasant people to be around. Some of the surliest, unhealthy people I know consume lots of meat.
I think it’s fair to say it goes both ways.
Karen De Coster says:
March 23rd, 2010 at 4:56 am
Justin, why would I collectivize collectivist vegans who parade around with their politicized agendas? Or do you just pretend that’s not the case? You’re not sure why I call them out as collectivists? You’re kidding, right? You read the news and follow their antics, right? The most recent antic being Lierre Keith, ex-vagan, who was attacked by vegans as she spoke out against that way of life. Google “Lierre Keith pie in the face.” And your comment about “personalities” of “meat eaters” is supposed to be a ‘good shot’ on your part? And personalities play a role in this ….. how?
We’ve gone from points about politicized (coercive) agendas to personality put downs from somebody who is “offended” by my comments. That means someone doesn’t have an argument. I do: the politicization of food and the environment often comes from the same people – left-wing collectivists who hate people and claim ‘love’ for the planet.
Iluvatar says:
March 23rd, 2010 at 12:56 pm
Hey Karen, well you have been busy (grinning)!
I am getting fatigued by the argumentation when it’s about just eating right. And there are a lot of ways to eat right. And I agree that it should be about making informed choices. What you do w/ your body is your business/opportunity/problem/issue. What you do w/ someone else’s body is none of your damn business. Why is that so fricking hard to understand?
Off topic? Can you enter a blog about the health care bill that just got passed? I have a letter from a guy who sent it in to the Baltimore Sun. Very well written. Like to share w/ the members here.
I give us 5 years. E.g., 2015. Dusk-dawn curfew and marshal law. Apologize for the bad english (mine), in advance.

Meg says:
March 23rd, 2010 at 7:04 pm
Karen,
You’re a blogger, and by the looks of it, one with quite a large audience. I’m not at all shocked that you’d get some awful hateful emails. I’ve been a blogger. I’ve seen what sort of crap people write. It’s often quite disgusting. And, frankly, I’m not surprised that you’d tick off more than a few vegans. But don’t make the mistake of thinking that the kind of people that write hateful emails like that are representative of vegans as a whole. I don’t assume that the emails I’ve gotten represent conservatives, libertarians, men, women, omnivores, etc. as a whole. I see them as they are, a very vocal minority. Because, let’s face it, most people who read posts don’t even comment, let alone send emails — just about any blogger that tracks readership stats knows that.
You say, “I do know LOTS of vegans”. Really? How many do you know personally? How do you know them?
And yes, many of us are familiar with the Keith incident. I and many other vegans have said repeatedly that we do not condone that at all — as if we even need to say that when, obviously, we’re NOT all the same and somehow responsible for the actions of a few people we don’t even know. For one, these were supposedly vegan ANARCHISTS. I may be vegan, but I’m not an anarchist, so there’s a pretty strong difference right there despite you insisting that we’re collectivists with the same political agenda. And I think it’s hilarious that you’re talking about vegans being all pro-state while bringing up a case of vegan ANARCHISTS. If you’re going to insist on stereotyping, at least be consistent.
Karen De Coster says:
March 23rd, 2010 at 7:24 pm
They aren’t vegan anarchists I referred to Meg, and I never said any such thing. Most of them have a leftist-collectivist political agenda. The term “anarchist” is _improperly used_ in cases like this, as us true anarchists know. So whatever the media calls them, educated libertarians/anarchists ignore that. The media destroys language and definitions for the purpose of appealing to the short, sugar-induced, public education-created American attention span. They are actually all Communist “Anarchists,” Syndicalists (anarcho-syndicalists), Mutualists, etc. So no, I am never inconsistent. But that’s why I piss people off!
Karen De Coster says:
March 23rd, 2010 at 7:55 pm
Iluvatar – now come on …… I am always shocked at the level of comprehension (or lack of) from people, and especially, their flamed rhetoric that intentionally distorts meanings in order to “flame” another person. If you were publishing this kind of irrational argumentation, you’d go down in flames. (That is, before the health care bill takes you, and us, all down.)
Nothing I have ever written has ever said anything about “people can’t do what they want with their body.” I challenge you to show me where I said that. Of course, you can’t show me that! What I have done is review a book and express how government distorts time preferences and politicizes food. I also responded to unsolicited emails from hordes of vegans who decided that my book review, expressing my belief system and opinions, is their business — enough to encroach upon me by email and send me aggressive hate mail. What I have also done is express my opinions, based on much experiential education, about vegans and their lifestyle that I know of (through personal experience/dealings, reading/research, my years of being involved in libertarianism/politics, and my numerous and vast networks).
Now here’s what you (and so many people) have to learn to do – stop conflating belief, principle, opinion, or even making fun of people, with politics (coercion/force). Big fail. Example: if I make fun of your Crocs and refer to Crocs-wearing people as being morons for wearing them , I am not calling for a law from Nancy Pelosi that will _force_ you to stop wearing Crocs, nor am I wanting to make your Crocs wearing “my business.” (p.s. — what does “none pf your business” mean to someone like me who has never called for coercion or aggression?) What I am doing is making light of the Crocs fad because I am 1) automatically drawn to observation and research 2) I find humor and/or inanity in these things and have a need to express it in a non-violent way, and 3) I am very good at putting my observations into words. Do you know how many people consistently write me and tell me I am “unlibertarian” for writing OPINIONS that shake up cultural icons and make fun of Americanisms? Yep, I’m unlibertarian for expressing opinions, making fun of cultural phenomena, putting idiots down, and/or making very pointed remarks about that which I find to be asinine (like political vegans). Some people can’t seem to take harsh opinions – and truth – when people like me openly and unapologetically call a spade a spade, but that’s to be expected. After 11 years of doing this, I know what to expect.
Thus I will continue to speak out, peacefully, and call things without fluff or pc-ism. I am what I am, and I don’t apologize for that. At the end of the day, I know I’m damn good at what I am doing.
For every person that complains about my style, there are another 200 that love it. The market has spoken, which is why I am successful, even tough I have a tough and stressful full-time career outside of my writing/speaking world. So, I’d say, if you don’t like some of the ways in which I express myself on a given topic, that’s to be expected, otherwise we’d all be clones. But if the Black Tanks bringing home martial law are rolling down your street, I trust you’d want me there on the front lines.
(Typically, I don’t argue/comment in the comments section at length, but this topic is going to be a blog post soon.)
Karen De Coster says:
March 23rd, 2010 at 7:58 pm
Meg – I have a large audience because I am a freelance writer (meaning I usually get paid for my work), independent scholar, blogger (at various places ’round the web), speaker (when I get the time), and all-around political dissident and anti-state warrior. I really don’t call myself a “blogger.” You might want to see my “about” page.

March 24th, 2010 at 12:39 pm
Karen — I think there was a mis-communication somewhere in there. I wasn’t talking about you. I was talking about the vegans. (grinning from ear to ear, can you say defensive?)
I’m sorry for not making that clearer (I thought it would stand on its own w/o having to say vegans outright).
But by the same token, there have been some pretty attacking comments, so I would grant that you might have felt a bit defensive. Geesh, I know I would.

Hi Karen, Thank you for mentioning my interview here. I’ve never read your blog before. It’s hard to talk to other vegans about veganism because even as a vegan I myself believed that every failed vegan was because they didn’t do it right. I truly truly believed in everything that veganism promised. And like some sort of cult member…when these fantasies didn’t come true..they only strengthened my belief’s in veganism…as though if I just held out for longer…it would all come true and the world would be saved.
It was disenchanting to find out that it’s not that simple. If saving the world were as simple as just going vegan….it would be alot less work. But we have ALOT of work to do.
Justin R says:
March 24th, 2010 at 9:21 pm
Oh Karen! It’s great that you fancy yourself an anti-state “warrior”, however, throwing out labels against vegans like freaks, depressed, bitter, lifeless, soulless, hate humans, and hate themselves don’t really make sense or make for an effective argument. You sound very angry and bitter yourself!
You make it hard for readers to believe your views are well-informed or educated when you resort to name-calling. You come across as some libertoid robot that sees opposing points of view as collectivist or a threat to your freedoms.
Have you ever seen Mac Danzig? UFC 6 CHAMPION and strict vegan… Yes, not athletes need animal protein to succeed http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_Danzig, must not have shown up in your research, huh?
Vegans are forever advocating legislation that denies others on the basis of their own beliefs. They tend toward being anti-private property, pro-state, pro-aggression, and they desire to change the way we all live and trade in order to force us to conform to their belief system. – I could say the same about any meat-packing company, dairy farmer or fishery lobby! Vegans are hardly the most politically active group. There is far more money to be made in pushing meat/dairy than veggies, those are higher margin products. Agribusiness caters to packaged foods manufacturers who cater to the fat masses, mostly meat-eaters.
For every vegan “activist” that is lobbying for change there are 10 dairy farmers and agribusiness goons that are doing everything they can to restrict imported beef and do whatever is possible to distort the free market in their favor… why not bitch them out? Also, a vegan diet causes far less animal suffer than a meat based diet. That is undeniable… branding, castrating are things no vegan ever supports.
For an “individualist” you love to grossly collectivize all of the vegans, it is quite remarkable. So do me a favor… while you’re comparing “militancy” why don’t you go ahead and see what % of animal abusers are meat-eaters versus vegetarians? Then draw whatever breathless conclusions you have about said evidence.
Karen, I always like to believe that free market types are more open-minded and reasonable than collectivists. You are better than name-calling…
Karen De Coster says:
March 24th, 2010 at 10:31 pm
Justin, you don’t comprehend what you read. You also say, “why not bitch them out?” Very unsophisticated, but, you haven’t looked at my 11 years of archives on the topic(s).
You say, “why don’t you go ahead and see what % of animal abusers are meat-eaters versus vegetarians?” Ummmm, my retort: let’s see what % of animal abusers drive American cars as vs Jap cars …… or cars vs motorcyles, or …. what % of them are blue-collar vs white collar……. now you get the point. That was an embarrassing comment. I’m sorry – I could not resist hanging that one out there to flap in the wind like a limp…….

Justin R says:
March 24th, 2010 at 11:46 pm
The point I made about animal abusers is a little more clear than who drives what car. It was a comment to show how silly collectivization is and how we can all draw erroneous conclusions.
Vegans tend to be more aware or at least conscious of their downstream impacts than you give them credit for.
Karen, I have been a fan of your for years, but personal attacks weaken the freedom movement and dilute the logic of your arguments.

No, using trajectio ad absurdum to make a point is not name-calling. I’m waiting for all the PETA folk to show up in the inner city of Detroit, protesting about how the urban poor need to show more concern and compassion for rats and roaches (“The price you pay for asthma and contagious disease is SMALL compared to the lives of rabid rodents!!”). And all you rural Michigan hunters, how DARE you use repellents and NOT let those ticks suck your blood while hunting! They have a RIGHT to give you Lyme disease!!

“but personal attacks weaken the freedom movement and dilute the logic of your arguments.” Justin, knock off the tedious hyperbole. It weakens the freedom movement. And STOP conflating opinion with libertarian principles. Or have I repeated that enough times on this blog since 2002? My using the word “fuck,” I am always told, “hurts libertarianism.” My calling an asshole an asshole “hurts libertarianism.” My calling the enviromentalists “EnviroCommunists” “hurts the freedom movement.” That I am told, too. Gee, I hurt the freedom movement a lot, don’t I?! These arguments (if you can even call them that) are emotional drivel, and they are useless. Start thinking and using logic.
“Personal attacks?” Oh really? You mean attacks that you take personally? If I hit a bingo, concerning you, regarding something I say, move on and ignore it. It’s that easy. It wasn’t directed at you personally. When the Vegans, Enviros, Animal Rights’ers, and all those other politicized movements stop being a force in the left-wing, neo-marxist movement, lemme know. (Oh, I forgot, that comment must mean I am anti-vegetable, anti-animal, and anti-earth.)
“Karen, I always like to believe that free market types are more open-minded and reasonable than collectivists. You are better than name-calling…” “Name-calling?” Alex, you too. Did you take the crybaby pill, too? Do you guys just copy-and-paste these cliched comments?
Don’t post any more of these “be nice” comments to my blog. Quite frankly, I’m not wasting any more valuable time responding to hyper-emotional comments. If you want “nice,” find a sellout or a politician or a nice group of people who hold bake sales to bring “awareness” to some cause.
Read my front page: “Eccentric in demeanor and opinion.” It would say “Force needs to be met with force,” but that would get me in the gulag.

This pro-Vegan “Meg” chick keeps on keeping on here, at my blog, trying to drop her comments. Her latest was the type of thing a 6th-grader would say to someone for the ultimate insult effect. It was another juvenile, sniping, moronic comment from a person who is one of a small group of people posting hate-rants about me at their corner of the web (that no one even sees). And I won’t link to these freaks, either, and give them traffic. Find someone else to obsess on Meg, you envious , puerile, pantywaist bitch.
Update: my favorite worst behavior from readers is this: I write something they don’t like. So they, without my solicitation or invitation, write _me_ to convey their sniping, hateful disagreement. Not rational, thought-provoking disagreement with critical thinking that’s interesting; they send hateful nastiness, and always, they resort to name-calling. And it’s always *my behavior* that’s inappropriate for their poor, little, offended sensitivities. They are personally offended by something I write (I don’t like Veganism, I make fun of Croc shoes, I make fun of video gaming, I don’t like the color blue, I criticize kids hooked on credit card debt and $6 Starbucks coffee, I said the sky was gray when they see blue, etc. etc), and so they feel compelled to attack me, spank me, berate me, call me names, and personally attack me. Then, when I attack back at them, it’s always always the same: “how dare you!” “you hurt the cause of liberty!” (big eye roll here) “you name-calling jerk!” “you are showing your true colors!” I’ve written about this insanity before on my blog. Gary North has written about it for LewRockwell.com. We all experience the same thing – especially those of us who write for LRC, which attracts a huge, diversified audience – meaning lots of crazed obsessive types. They can tell you &*%$@!&**^$$@!**%! all day long, but don’t dare say boo to them. If only I could allow people to be in my shoes for one week, getting the kind of email I get. It would be like Bootcamp for rude assholes.

Karen,
I’ve been coming here a few months to read and really I do enjoy your writings. I’ve never felt I had anything special to add so I’ve been lurking quietly, happily. But, blue is my favorite color and really I must protest! (lol kidding)
I want to thank you for the posts on this topic, actually. I’ve been meaning to get hold of the book you mentioned on it a while back, and I’ll be running through trying to find the title again as I can’t recall it. Your posts started me thinking about my own diet. I’m not vegan or vegetarian, but I’ve been on a nearly zero fat diet for the last two years trying to avoid the statins my doctor keeps pushing at me. Insanity, pure and simple.
Thank you for helping me think.

Okay, well I’m glad you DID go “BOO!!” (in a sense). Since I decided to try to the Paleo way based upon one of your posts, I recently had my annual physical. Turns out that I’ve dropped almost forty pounds, and my cholesterol was in the normal range for the first time in about four – five years. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Karen. Whoda thunk that an article about “fried ass on a stick” would have gotten me to make such an improvement? (lol)
