Wednesday evening roundup

What most surprises me is that Ted Nugent appears remains relevant in any way.

Validation for those of us who have been happily misusing "hopefully" all along.

I didn't realize it was debate veganism week. I can poke many holes in that first writer's arguments and her unsubstantiated claims (soy damages the thyroid?? since when?). If B12 is the biggest issue, it's not hard to get B12 supplements. As for those other nutrients, they are plentiful in a balanced vegan diet; as for pregnant and nursing women, most are taking lots of B complex supplements anyway. The concept of "complete" protein has long been debunked, and just because animal sources of protein are "more efficient," doesn't mean anyone needs that much protein. I could go on. For more resources about carrying and feeding vegan children, see Dr. Holly Roberts' book, PCRM.
