Chelsea Clinton Had a Vegan Wedding

I think it's cool that she's doing it, but I would never do something just cuz a celeb is doing it.. and I like my meat.

No - celebs don't inspire me to make changes - I'd be more interested in, and inspired by someone I personally know and respect making such a huge lifestyle change.

I wonder why you're describing her wedding as "vegan" when she served beef burgers?  Gotta say, seems to me like a regular wedding menu with 'something for everyone' - hardly vegan.

How can anyone call a wedding vegan when they serve burgers?
Do you even know the definition of vegan?
Guessing from the fact that you called yourself a carnivore which would hilarious if true, I will make the assumption that you don't exactly have the tightest grasp on dietary lingo/definitions.
Please just get your facts straight.
I agree with "hoticedcoffee", sounds like a dinner that leaned towards less meat than normal.
Just an FYI that means you cant even call her wedding vegetarian.

I command y'all that tried, I got a helping portion at: www.meatlessmonday.org, and www.suprememastertv.com (recipes+ documentaries too!. Flo

I've been a veggie for 22 years and my 3 year old twins are as well...it IS possible..even here in INDIANA..to live without meat!!! As I help lifelong carnivores make the transition to eating healthier...mostly from overindulging for their whole lives...I offer up this bit of advise.....eat less meat, eat BETTER meat when you do, and don't be afraid of NOT eating it...it will only make you healthier!!! The world is changing and so are our nutritional needs, not a indivuals or just as a nation but as a SPECIES!! With overpopulation comes starvation of the poorest peoples...our family will gladly "sacrifice" for our fellow man in the hopes that not only more people will have enough to just survive, but that with the softening of the heart and soul that we CAN make the world a better place...for humans, animals AND the environment!!! The days of meat-eating environmentalists are OVER!!! Good luck and peace to all!!!

Absolutely not. I am a carnivore and do not feel bad about eating what I believe is the healthiest food for humans. Vegans are vegans because of social consciousness and argue that it's a healthier way to eat to convince the rest of us to give up meat. However, you can find plenty of studies that support the health benefits of eating meat. One study even reports that vegans have a higher incidence of neurological problems because of certain vitamin deficiencies and a shorter overall life span. I was a vegetarian for 10 years and developed hypoglycemia because of it. I feel horrible if I don't eat meat so I'm not going to allow someone to tell me that it's immoral to eat meat. I'm really tired of being preached to about the horrors of meat eating. And by the way, what shall we do with all the cows that will starve to death if we plant all the pastures with food for humans. I guess we could neuter them and let the species die off naturally or just kill them all off since they would be competing for our food supply...

In every aspect it is important to become vegan.

So THAT is how she keeps her figure. With her dad's somewhat famous eating habits it's always been a questions. She's gorgeous though if you pay attention: http://www.digitallizardproductions.com/vagina-hero-08.02.10--chelsea-clinton.html

Sandra since there's no way the world would instantly go vegan overnight there will not be any issues with unused animals etc. Less than a few percent of cows are found in pastures, most are in industrial feed lots we are wasting vast amounts land growing food to feed the cows so not only is it not a zero sum game, it's wasteful to use all this land, water and petrol to grow plants to feed and animals. In fact we're cutting down hundreds of acres per day of rain forests to grow soybeans for cows to feed our growing populations desire for meet.

I suggest checking the source of those studies as the center for consumer freedom who lobbies for the cattlemen, chicken and pig industry and big tobacco are always funding studies and pushing articles supporting meat.

There's a growing number of studies where people are finding that a well planned vegan diet is actually curing their diabetes or blood sugar issues and epidemiology studies show that vegans and vegetarians have far less incidence of diabetes.

I see a lot of people eat a crappy veg diet, they eat nothing but poor carbs and over eat these to compensate. If you eat oatmeal, lentils, other beans, nuts, complex super grains like quinoa etc you'll do much better than a big plate of pasta.
