I rarely meet vegans with an O blood type, and I make it a point to ask. People who are A, B or AB don't seem to have that much difficulty going without meat, but if an O type tried that he or she would suffer terribly.


Just an observation.

My wife is type O. She doesn't seem to have any problems, but it's only been 15 years so far.

How will she be suffering, and when is it going to happen?

And why would blood type matter?

From my unscientific observations, people with type O blood usually get very cranky when they dont eat meat for a while, but people with other blood types couldn't care less.

I went vegan for ~5 weeks in the spring of last year, and I've been trying to eat less meat in general, but, coincidentally, I've gone 100% vegan again just ~10 days ago, possibly indefinitely.  The China Study [BT] was a big influence.  It has nothing to do with the Vegan Day or "animal rights" bullshit - in fact I would have gone vegan years ago if it wasn't for the fact that 99.99% of people I've met on vegan forums were genocidal commie retards!  :x

I just feel that an inactive fat guy with a family history of heart problems, diabetes, and all sorts of cancer would benefit from this "zero cholesterol diet", as I call it (which is why honey is OK by my book).  I'm pretty good with self-control when it comes to choosing which food to buy, but I totally lose self-control when it comes to portion sizes, often eating several pounds of beef a single day!  That's a heart attack waiting to happen...

So my new diet pretty much excludes anything I might possibly want to overeat - including bread, white rice, and anything sweet (including tropical fruits).  I also avoid soy, because it contains chick hormones, but fermented varieties (mostly soy sauce) are OK.  Buckwheat and legumes are major staples, vegetable soups and salads are secondary.  And garlic.  Lots and lots of garlic.  Raw.  ;)

Vegans also spend less money on food (and medicine), and a vegan diet is more compatible with the Gulcher lifestyle - buying untaxed food from an underground economy of local farmers.  A small farmer can grow a lot more food per acre if the nutrients are consumed by human beings directly, and animal farming involves far more government regulations and subsidies.

For example, check out this documentary - A River of Waste.  It might feel like a piece if environmentalist propaganda, but it does have a major point - the government covers the meat producers' butts when it comes to a lot of their liabilities (i.e. environmental externalities), and there are other subsidies as well.  In a free society, a pound of meat would cost A LOT more than it does today!

Blood type is bullshit. Maybe genetic testing will help determine a better diet for individuals in the future, but really it's about whatever your parents feed you and in what quantity.

Looks like someone took a page out of fatcats playbook. Blood-type is bullshit means it doesn't exist? Or it doesn't matter?

There is a diet called "the blood type diet" that I just came across.

http://www.dadamo.com/
Quote
The percentages (71-78%) of visitors reporting positive results are consistent across all the blood types. Type O (following a higher protein lower-carb diet) appeared as likely to report positive results as Type A (following a lower fat, plant-based diet) or types B and AB (following a more omnivorous diet.)

The results certainly appear to question many of the standardized one size fits all diets advanced by the diet gurus, governments and agribusiness.

I have a 50% chance of having O blood type.  If I go 1 full day without meat, I get REALLY cranky and feel like shit.

That said,  I know of no medical reason for certain blood types influencing mood with regards to diet.  Seems like an interesting idea, but I just can't think of a reason for it right now.

I think that most people get cranky when they stop eating meat, and that is also a personal observation.
