Disclaimer: Vegan since for ecological/health reasons after watching Game Changers
I've been in the camp of eating less meat for a while for general health, and i have a lot of concerns about factory farming.
But Game Changers straight up lies all over the place. It's a horrible documentary.
People just need to be honest with themselves and say they like eating meat and don't want to change.
- The eldest olympian athlete at 39,5 winning a medal for the US being vegan?
- The world record setting strong man Patrik Baboumian being vegan?
- The football team from Tennessee (IIRC) reaching the playoffs for the first time in 14 years (IIRC) after round 10 of their defensive players went vegan?
It was pretty convincing to me because it was not presented with a "These poor animals" moralistic tone. But by a guy, whose job is to train soldiers in deadly hand-to-hand combat. He injured both his knees and stumbled over a study that concluded that a vegan diet might speed up his recovery. He actually tried it, and the results are pretty impressive IMHO.

There are also several anecdotal reports out there of athletes who tried vegan diets and found they got injured more frequently, or recovered more slowly. Does that mean anything? Who knows. There are so many confounding factors that it's impossible to research this issue in a truly rigorous way.
There are a few such anecdotes listed here. I'm not endorsing this blog or any particular diet, just pointing out that we lack clear evidence based guidelines.

For instance, if you look at the diet of the strong man they featured, you'll see he supplements his diet with protein shakes in 4 out of 6 meals between 50-80 grams of protein which isn't mentioned in the documentary. I'm sure a lot of aspects of his lifestyle are unhealthy since he's in an extreme field, but you can't claim vegan diet gives you enough protein for a competitive athlete when you supplement almost every meal with a shake. And I can't imagine that's somehow better for you than eating natural protein. Compare that to what strong man Thor Bjornsson eats, you'll see its a lot fewer protein supplements and more natural food
I think this is awesome. "Vandalize" is a bit much as they just substitute sliced pig flesh photos with a plant-based lookalike.
Why'd you feel the need to disclaim that?

It's exactly what vandalism is. They defaced some else's property; for advertising no less.
Dunno. Was just blending in[0].

Fair enough, yet if we could only motivate that same disapproval when someone has their own body vandalized, as in having it sliced into pieces and photographed, then our ethical compass would be more in balance.
