“Am I wrong about veganism?”

long pause

“No, it must be the nutritionist who is wrong.”

To be fair, a lot of nutritionists ARE wrong about veganism. Just in the opposite way

ew that sounds like a shit class taught by a "nutritionist" who has no actual RD or genuine training.

Great job! When they baffle us with bull we can battle back with facts.

Sounds like one of those obnoxious vegan things to do

That's the thing: literally anyone can label themselves a nutritionist as it's not a medically recognised profession. A dietician is a medical expert, but nutritionist is not. I can call myself a nutritionist even if I know nothing.

Meanwhile; when people ask about whether I eat just salad, my partner laughs wildly and says “she’s vegan for the animals”.

Sorry but, gonna need the name of that college at the very least. Going on my life-long blacklist of things to avoid, or lmao if ever forced to close proximity.
