Wow, a crash-”vegan” diet to lose weight extremely fast for movie roles in an unhealthy manner while being coupled with being a “full time smoker” made you sick, Bijou? How surprising!

It’s really sad how ignorant people are. Really sad. Bijou, you let us all know how healthy you feel on a pack a day on top of steaks cooked in butter with a side of chicken periods. I’m sure you’ll feel very good after that.

To the rest of you who actually want to be healthy, Atkins died of a heart attack. But, a balanced vegan diet reduces your risk of all sorts of diseases and is one of the healthiest diets in existence. A good 5 minutes of nutrition research will show anyone with a brain this.

[...] I feel good! I’m sick and I’ve been sick four times since I’ve been vegan and I hadn’t been sick for five years before that. I need to eat food because this isn’t working. Every vegan I know gets sick all the time. Of course, the actress More Vegan News [...]

Funny, I’ve been vegan for 3 years now and I’ve never had a problem. I’d venture to even say I’ve gotten less sick than I usually do.

I had no idea that all those people lined up at the clinic with colds and flus were vegan, wow. And how about all those people with coronary artery disease and diabetes, they are vegan too cause veganism makes you sick ya know. Oh and then there’s cancer that’s caused by a vegan diet too, just didn’t know the majority of the population of the world were vegan! The epidemic of obesity in america attributed to veganism, this is shocking, again didn’t know there were so few omni’s out there and all these stats for disease and illness were all vegans! So eating none of the foods that have been proven to cause diseases in people like meats and dairy and eating more of the foods that prevent it like vegetables and whole grains is actually wrong, stupid doctors and nutritionists telling us to eat more fruit and vegetables and limit your animal fat intake, all wrong. Compassionate living… silliness, who knew.

My sarcastic rage aside, the next time I hear someone say that all vegans are fat or are sick I am going to beat their ass. Why? Cause I can cause I am vegan and haven’t been sick since becoming vegan and am in incredible shape for it. I am vegan but not a pacifist. I am so sick of hearing that it was a vegan diet that made someone sick when it was a POOR diet that made that person sick, I know this for a FACT from reading “The Position of the American Dietetic Association and Dieticians of Canada” public policy statement for starters. It goes into great detail about how vegetarian and vegan diets prevent disease and illness and provide health benefits.

These twits who ate poor diets then blame their poor health on being veg should not be listened to. Their arguement is one of correlation and not causation. Following their logic one could say they got sick cause it rained that day or they were sick cause they wore purple or they got sick or cause they dyed their hair.

And a little side note to Pete 4000, again with the correlation and not causation arguement. Someone somewhere starved their baby cause they were vegan, NO, they were screwed in the head and they also happened to be vegan. Again if I follow this loose logic of yours and other morons then I could say that ALL catholic men are pedophiles cause there has been more than a few cases to support that theory. Are there any critical thinkers left in this world?

Hey get a load of this crap:

http://www.examiner.com/x-867-LowCarb-Lifestyle-Examiner~y2008m12d17-Bijou-Phillips-Being-a-vegan-kept-me-sick-Im-going-back-on-Atkins

Or google new “Bijou Phillips vegan” if that url doesn’t work. In the article this guys says,

“HA! I LOVE that! Way to go, Bijou. You tell ‘em like it is and eat healthy the low-carb way. THANK YOU for sharing your forthright answers in those questions about your vegan experience. From vegan couples starving their babies to the general wacky behavior many vegans engage in, we need a voice of sanity like yours every once in a while to remind us that up is up and down is down. Keep up the great work on your healthy low-carb lifestyle!”

Micheal, no, she says ‘every vegan I know’, again this does not entail ‘Vegan Diet: It Just Makes You Sick’.

She is sick becuase she is not eating a healthy diet, not because she is eating a vegan diet. She does not sound educated.

If you give up cocaine, you will get sick. Same with tobacco. Getting off any addiction will make you sick. That is normal – your body takes time to adjust to healthy living!
