      They start the first time you can mention you are vegan in a conversation that isn’t about food or animal products.

      I use arch btw.

      It’s a gradual building process, but some perks happen very quickly. Like your whole body being in distinctly less pain - that can happen in days depending on your inflammation status. Or being super bloated because you started eating way too much fiber way too soon, that can happen in a day.

      After a few years you may find your immune system starts to become superhuman. Not even joking, it’s kind of wild how much more resilient I am to sickness these days. Getting sick far less frequently, symptoms consistently becoming laughably mild, and duration is far shorter too.

        there is education that goes along with it to actually manage nutrients/macros than just ‘go vegan’ and leave it at that

        beans are not a protein that every body can digest

          That’s why I said statistically. Yeah you can go vegan on oreos and french fries and drag down the stats, but on the whole vegans do better.

          It know, not a great superpower.

            Personally, I think that stat is going to see some dips soon, with everything being loaded with coconut oil these days.

      once you go vegan you instantaneously get the power of a smug sense of superiority. though, admittedly, it doesn’t do anything but make you an annoying asshole.
