I'm not claiming I am better than anyone else. I have one perk to this lifestyle. I have many more downsides. I need to take supplements because I've been anemic. I fart constantly.
I'm allergic to eggs and lactose intolerant. I will eat dairy. I usually have to stick to yogurt. I don't eat meat because as a child we had to push expiration dates and got sick a lot. Meat just grosses me out. My wife is not a vegetarian. I'm not in this for moral reasons. I don't fault anyone for eating meat. I'm not pushing a lifestyle here. I'm just saying I don't smell much.
And, I do throw up. I'm a lightweight when it comes down to drinking. I also generally don't like other vegetarians because they do act superior. I like to point out random facts that are in opposition of their view, and call them out. Then when they play the moral high ground card; I can do the same.
I eat a lot of meat and have confirmed with people that I don’t smell (I don’t wear deodorant). Diet can play a part I’m sure, but meat isn’t it.
I was told by others that it was diet. But I never cared much to do research on that.
