I try to do the vegan thing during the weekdays, but I’m not 100% strict about it. It’s more for health reasons. I was diagnosed with high uric acid in my blood, which is a precursor for gout. My grandmother had that. I try and avoid plant protein as well.
Really, there is no need for any protein intake other than the Omegas: Omega-3, Omega-6, & Omega-9, since those are the only proteins that the body needs, but can’t manufacture. For those of you who want to comment about the need for protein, unless you send me a scientific study that states proteins are a necessity, don’t bother with your uneducated mythologies. I try to loosely follow the Pritikin Program.
I definitely eat fish, poultry, & red meat on Shabbos & Yom Tov, but I try to keep the protein intake to a minimum.
yytz: I know Dovid Sears personally. He’s a very sincere, pushute Breslover, and former Mendy the Golem comic book author.
