we're back

youre trying so fucking hard to set up this unit spin off. im going to be horribly honest with you: i dont really care, and i think this is such a corny way to do it. i think torchwood (the show) is something people see with rose-tinted glasses a lot of the time, but i do think its slower introduction to the characters, completely isolated to its own tv show, made more sense. i feel like this weird vibe of just setting up these big personalities who all neatly fit into the exact archetypes you'd Expect... i dont know. i dont care for any of them. i love big weird non human robot-adjacent entities and i dont even care. and that fucker has cable-like tentacles too. i should be sold.

i think its also cuz they are like so obviously these Scifi archetypes for shows like this which is fine but leading first with a quickfire round of rather than getting a softer introduction to them just sort ofmakes them feel like fake cartoons. i think thats sorta why ive never truly warmed to paternoster gang too.

like i think my issue - and im welcome to be proved wrong, whenever we do get this unit spinoff - is i feel like its leading with the idea of "i want a spinoff" first rather than an attempt to fill a specific niche or hole for stories. i feel like sja and torchwood were both very specifically shows that would be in the universe, but would cater to things that would not suit the proper show, and had their own cast driving it.

like i'll be honest i like kate but ummmm im not sure i like her enough to follow her into a spin off. LOL.

sorry thats my hater era over im 2 seconds in

oh no nevermind i also hate big budget takes itself too seriously bullshit wheres the losers

is rose still meant to be like 15. her in business casual for the day job at unit.

sorry help me why are they just pulling everything out help me

i feel like theyre trying to be too meta about it and not in like a clever way its just like a lets state the obvious to everyoneits that vclassic TELLING NO SHOWING that i feel like christ it keeps ... feeling like the writing is doing that so much

CAN ANYONE TALK ABOUT HOW NCUTI LOOKS IN THE LEATHER JACKET BTW?

soery its like not even 10 minutes in and im like already feeling like a hater i just i dont know i feel like so im fine with them cashing in on nostalgia and being a bit self aware in finales sometimes but i feel like this and then the trilogy last year... LOOK most dw finales and special eps of the nu era are kind of rooted in some sort of classic right its like dalek dalek cyberman master dalek lets go to gallifrey for this one but its like still at least one thing sorry im sick of it i dont wanna see mel any more i dont wanna be in unit CAN WE FOLLOW THE DOCTOR AND RUBY see them figuring it out PLEAAASEEE they can point out its obvious its fine but the fucking round table discussion

TIME WITH RUBY AND THE DOCTOR . PLEASE.

nevermind i love mel on the moped

ugh ive been wanting a bike for so long but i keep hjearing about so many accidents i wanna kms in a controlled environment

my second thought btw: i think one of my favourite season finales will always be s4's. and yes that does also bank on this big, lets have ALL OF THESE PEOPLE COME TOGETHER!!! and have one huge crossover event even if the story isnt as good. but as ivealways said: that works because its earned through four seasons of building up all of those individual characters. it can stand on that legwork thats already been done. i just dgaf otherwise. its why, and maybe this is controversial, i can never give a shit about a good man goes to war. (although i also loathe that because that storyline does my fucking HEAD IN)

im also hating this so hard im not even far enough in sorry i just love to hateeeeeeeeeee

because susan was lowkey annoying af

SORRY

caralas literally chill w can bring carla

Do you have a time window. Ten floors down. classic shit.

My Disney Descendants OC:

Her face claim is Elizabeth Olsen:

OC's Outfit and Sword:

Information about my OC:

°Full Name: Lilith Ombretta Cheronobog

°Aliases: Lily, Etta, Little Darkling, The Sinner's Bane, Umbra Insulae (the shadow of the island), Vindex (punisher), Diabolique, Discordia...

°Gender: Female

°Sexual Orientation: Bisexual

°Species: Demon/Demigod hybrid

°Age: ???? (demons age differently so technically she's ancient but she physically looks 21)

°Status: Immortal

°Alignment: Chaotic Neutral (leaning towards evil)

°Hair Colour: black as her soul (sometimes dyed as dark blue ombre)

°Eye Colour: chartreuse (but when she uses magic it turns an eerie yellow)

°Complexion: deathly pale

°Personality: Lilith is a chaotic pessimist made out of sarcasm. She's so very unapologetic with what she says and she uses dark humour as a coping mechanism. She gets aggressive around some villains (like Gaston and Frollo) but turns docile around some of the villainesses (cough... Maleficent... cough... Helga Sinclair). But besides that she's surprisingly very helpful (but only when it suits her😏)...

°Family: Chernabog (father, estranged, dead), Eris (mother, estranged, alive)...

°Love Partnership Interest: ☠️ (Flirt and flounce but when they want to settle down... bounce...)

°Friends Allies: The Core Four, The Sea Three, (sighs) Yen Sid, The Anti-Heroes Club, Dizzy Tremaine, Hadie, Hades, Dr. Facilier, Celia Facilier, Freddy Facilier, Diego DeVil, Harriet Hook, CJ Hook...

°Enemies: Most of the adults on the Isle, King Beast, Queen Leah, basically all the Vk haters...

°Hobbies: Beating the shit out of the sinners of the Isle (mostly Gaston and Frollo...), Protecting the younger Vks from their abusive parents, Annoying Yen Sid, Hanging out at Dragon Hall (because you're never too cool for school), Flirting with the MILFs of the Isle 😏...

°Occupations: Substitute Teacher (at Dragon Hall), Babysitter (for younger Vks), Manager (at the Bargain Castle shop)

°Pet: a fruit bat (named Alucard🦇)

°Powers & Abilities: Umbrakinesis, Chaos Magic, Dark Magic, Demon Summoning, Bloodbending, Flying (with wings or when she turns into a swarm of bats), Shape Shifting, Allspeak, Super Strength, Fast Reflexes, Heightened Senses, Super Intelligence...

°How she ended up on the Isle: Well... she volunteered to go with Yen Sid to the Isle, so that they could teach the children of the Isle how to live without magic (and to also make sure that the villains don't tear him apart)...

°How her life was before the Isle: Lilith grew up isolated, in a cave at the Bald Mountain, so she immediately left for adventure when she was old enough to take care of herself. She travelled many realms and had many romances and misadventures, meeting strange people along the way... one of them was Yen Sid.

They didn't get along at first but eventually they became frenemies of sorts (more like civilised enemies) that engage in friendly banter whilst fighting each other (kinda like the Merlin and Mim dynamic). They only became true friends when Lilith helped Yen Sid and Mickey Mouse defeat Chernabog in an epic final battle on Bald Mountain. After the battle, Chernabog's remains was buried beneath the Island that would later be known as "The Isle of the Lost"...

"Death is inevitable, suffering is optional..."

For the character ask I would love to see Clover

Clover for the RWBY character asks! Tbh, I don’t know a good deal about him (I haven’t seen the last two seasons of RWBY nearly as well as the other seasons, but I’ll give it by best!

My top three ships for the character

Clover/Winter, Clover/Marrow, and Clover/Ironwood all have juice. I always headcanoned that Winter had been attracted to aspects of Qrow’s personality, but can’t stand the rest of it, as he’s too wild, too unseemly, and has too much of a history for her. Clover would actually be great for her, then. He’s got the charm, the devil may care attitude, the winks and the teasing and the big heart and caring nature underneath, without any of the stuff that I think Winter wouldn’t be able to see past. Clover/Marrow I think could be cute. There might be some contention, since Clover is his boss and he’s very new, but idk, I think they could have something. And as for Ironwood/Clover, I don’t see much of it, but he’s charismatic and challenging and adventurous, and I think could compliment Ironwood. Plus, he really does respect and value Ironwood, I think, and I just like that for James.

My three least favorite ships for the character

Clover/Harriet is on this list, and it’s a shame. I think their personalities could compliment each other, but eighth season ruined the idea of them for me. Clover/Tyrian, for obvious reasons. And Clover/Robyn, I honestly really think Robyn doesn’t have much chemistry with anyone, let alone Clover.

My biggest criticism for the character

Honestly, I don’t mean to sound like a Clover hater, but by golly, I wish I’d seen much less of him. Qrow had other relationships to develop that I feel were more important and it feels like they tried to jam pack their growth as friends into the story at lightning speed just to force an emotional reaction when he died, instead of letting Qrow interact with Ironwood or Winter (who he had relationships with prior that largely wound up neglected) and then they acted like he was suddenly the most important thing with Qrow. I have other complaints, but for the most part, this is what truly trips me up. Some of his character and how Qrow reacts to his character doesn’t feel genuine, because he didn’t have time to be that developed or significant. I was blown away by how big Qrow’s reaction to his death was, because I was sitting there going ‘But, Qrow has only known him for like, two months, right? The audience has only known him for like, a season, right? Why should we care this much?’’ I feel like if they’d let him be a cool more in the background character (like Glynda was in V1-3,) and then not killed him, and if they hadn’t tried to make him into something he wasn’t and try and force connections, then he could’ve really flourished. That’s not to say that he and Qrow shouldn’t have been friends and shouldn’t have interacted. Some of their moments are kinda cute (”I win again. Maybe we should, call it quits?” “Shut up and deal.”) But I think the focus should’ve been on James and Qrow or at least Qrow and Winter.

My favorite thing about the character

The attitude. I love characters who tilt towards the cocky, arrogant side, and I like flirty characters and a ‘rogue-ish’ character, but I also like that there seems to be more brewing under the surface, like he’s intelligent and everything he says is for a reason. Throughout season seven, I actually thought he was going to be a villain or at least ‘betrays them, but he hadn’t realized it’d be like that/he had good motives/he realized he was wrong,’ because his questions seemed leading, his behavior seemed a bit guarded, he seemed like he was analyzing Qrow for reactions. Now, it just seems like he was a good guy, who just happened to be highly intelligent, but didn’t apply himself with tenacity and high ambitions like Winter, so it isn’t as obvious. I really dig a character with a rogue-ish attitude that clearly has more under the surface.

A headcanon I have about them

I once heard this from someone else and I love it: Clover’s always had a problem with proving himself as talented, strong, and smart, since due to his semblance, a lot of people chalk his achievements all up to his semblance. Clover was never considered a smart kid, a good kid, or a strong fighter in school, as most of his teachers, friends, and even family members would tell him how lucky he is to have a semblance that makes things easier for him. Clover’s always kinda resented his semblance because of it, but also knows that he does have an advantage a lot of times that other people don’t have, so he never feels like he should allow himself to be upset to have a semblance other people would kill for. I also headcanon that when Clover met Qrow, he felt even more guilty about resenting his own semblance, since Qrow would clearly love and embrace such a semblance.

What I would change about them if I was making a re-write

You know how I said I’d thought Clover would be a villain? I might - I might do that. I honestly think Clover as a villain would be really cool and could’ve meant something! But, if I didn’t go with that, I just generally would’ve kept Clover more in the background and maybe get three seasons out of Atlas to allow characters like him time to grow in importance naturally. Also I’d give him a different weapon. I’m sorry to whoever thought giving Clover a fishing pole as a weapon was a good idea, but I definitely would change it. Maybe I’d give him a grappling hook or something. Same basic function, and I don’t expect him to do the Perfect Cast every time he’d use it.

What I I think of their character allusion and what (if anything) I would change about it

His allusion was to the story ‘A fisherman’s good luck,’ and the morals of that are supposed to be ‘patience, constancy, and perseverance, in an honest cause and duty, can never fail to bring a happy end.’ And I guess that in RWBY, they once again decided to do the opposite, and drain all hope from the story, and just go with ‘nothing in Clover’s life paid off because now he’s dead and people are belittling his dead corpse.’ Very stupid in my opinion. I truly think CRWBY said ‘We want him to have good luck, what’s an Aesop’s Fable about luck?’ and then said ‘Oh, it’s about a fisherman? We’ll give him a fishing rod, allusion done.’ If I was going with ‘Clover is a secret baddie’ I would have him tricked into thinking he was doing something good and regret it, and try to make it right. I’d try to get across the message that Clover had stumbled in that patience and perseverance in an honest cause and started getting misfortune because of it, but when he returned to the good and careful life he had lived for most of his life, he was able to make up for it and have a happier end. And if I went with Clover being a good guy the whole time, I’d totally just go into the headcanon I have, that Clover had always wanted to prove that his accomplishments were because of his perseverance and devotion to an honest cause, and not due to his semblance. And then, you know, I’d have that pay off for him with a happier end and not kill him.

Harry the Secret Twin

Something struck me today, while looking for some quite different things. We do know that John ‘I’m-not-actually-gay’ Watson has a gay sister called Harry (short for Harriet), right? We actually learned this pretty soon, in the very first Sherlock episode. But they never told us if Harry is John’s big sister or little sister. Or maybe there’s a third alternative...

So, when I was reading these old comments on Ariane DeVere’s transcript sites from 2012, discussing the fact that John reminds Harry in his blog comments that she is 36 years in January, while John is referred to as 37 years in the papers six months later, I realized that yes; if these facts are correct and they both turned 37 in the first half of that year, twins could definitely be an option.

John and Harry might be twins, both in a literal and a symbolical sense.

The thing is, we have never seen Harry. Or actually, it seems like we’ve never been allowed to see Harry. She’s referred to repeatedly in the show - at least up until TSoT - but we never get to meet her; John’s own sister doesn’t even show up at his wedding! But from HLV and onwards, Harry Watson is never more even mentioned. For all we know, she’s a ‘secret twin’. In fact, there’s not a single gay or bisexual person mentioned ever again after TSoT, except for those who are presented as extremely dangerous people (Jim, Eurus and Irene). While up until TSoT, there were several others, apart from Harry:

• Mrs Turner’s ‘married ones’ in ASiP • Kenny Prince and Raoul in TGG • Kate (Irene’s GF) and ‘Your Highness’ in ASiB • Beppo and Pietro in The Six Thatchers (as described on John’s blog) • Gary and Billy from The Cross Keys in THoB • Sabrina in John’s blog post “Happily Ever After”, who I think we also see un-named in Sherlock’s speech in TSoT:

I never felt there was a ‘fair’ representation of LGBTQ people in the show, and these characters are either presented as involved in 'suspicious’ activities (e.g. Raoul, Gary and Billy) or pushed aside to peripheral corners of the show (e.g. the ‘married ones’, Sabrina) up until TSoT. But after this, they’re not even referred to. So I think what we see is an increasing level of heteronormativity from the introduction of ‘Mary’ and onwards. Which I think is also shown by the treatment of John’s and Sherlock’s relationship, which was discussed in the additions to the ‘Heimish test’ some time ago. And, of course, we were actually brought back in time, all the way to 1895, weren’t we?

And TAB, no matter how beautiful the setting, is impregnated with old-fashioned sexism, where Mrs Hudson is reduced to a plot device, Mary is supposed to have dinner ready when Watson and Holmes come home, ‘Hooper’ is next to ‘outed’ as a woman who is trying to ‘get ahead in a man’s world’ and Watson’s house maid is berated for being observant. And John Watson seems paranoid about a whole bunch of people with supposedly too radical opinions (socialists, suffragettes, serbians etc.).

And even as the double decker makes its way through Baker Street, after this we never see any actual transition to modern times, when Sherlock wakes up to them, do we? Even as the environment shifts, we’re stuck in the values of 1895.

Is this deliberate? Oh, yes, I think it definitely is; I believe the increasing heteronormativity and references to reactionary views are meant to provoke anyone attentive/interested enough to see it; it’s a worst case, dystopian, nightmarish scenario displayed in front of us, and I don’t think it will break until the protagonists (read Sherlock) realizes this. Until Sherlock wakes up from his coma, and the 120+ years old character can finally start to live...

So, what about Harry?

I think Harry’s absence is a part of this dystopia; she’s a secret twin, she isn’t allowed to come forth! That’s why we never get to see her. The only place where Harry seems to be ‘alive and kickin’ is on John’s blog (which has been silent since TSoT). I made a little research of her blog comments, to get a more complete picture of her. Harry has made a total of 47 blog comments. Basically, this is what I’ve found out:

- Harry’s love life isn’t going very well, as it seems; she’s divorced from Clara and no one else is ever mentioned.

- She seems incredulous to the idea that John would either be a ‘casanova’ or ‘gay’. Harry is curious about what’s going on with Sherlock, though, and seeks contact with John about it. She seems to pick up on their attraction to each other rather quickly.

- Harry has a problem with alcohol and a tendency to spout profanities in the comment section of John’s blog, especially in response to arrogant people. You can tell by her occasional grave misspellings when she’s inebriated. John doesn’t seem to want to have much contact with Harry, but he does try to help her whenever she has a crisis from the liquor.

- She’s passionate about many things and seems to easily flare up. When John is attacked by haters on his blog after Sherlock’s death, Harry defends him furiously (so furiously, apparently, that John deletes her comments).

- At the same time as John splits up with Sarah, Harry seems to be staying off the alcohol rather well. 3 months later, however, by the time John and Sherlock are described as ‘confirmed bachelors’ in the press, she’s on the booze again.

- A year later, after Sherlock’s ‘death’, at the same time as ‘Mary’ shows up on the blog, Harry seems aware of her drinking problem.

- When the friends gathered to celebrate John’s birthday (this is talked about in the MHR blogpost as well as in the show’s MHR), Harry was there too (which doesn’t exclude the possibility that it was her birthday too). But Sherlock was not there. Which means Sherlock might not ever have met Harry.

- After Sherlock’s return, when John announces that he’s getting married, Harry is back on alcohol. By the time the wedding approaches, she no longer comments much on the blog. But when John supports the ‘Mayfly Man’s methods, she chimes in with ‘Mary’s indignation.

So - can we discern a pattern here? Oh yes, I think we can. For some reason, Harry’s alcohol problems seem to be synchronized with John’s relationships with women. And if I’ve smuggled in a couple of pictures of John above, it’s because I think many of Harry’s traits/problems are visible in her (twin) brother as well: loneliness, alcoholism, hot temper... If you have read @sagestreet‘s meta series ‘Follow the dogs” (I can highly recommend it) you might remember his theories about John’s bisexuality in Part 5, represented for example in TGG by Connie Prince (his heterosexual side) and Kenny Prince (his homosexual side).

Or in Part 2 about THoB, represented by the fisherman (homo side) and his mother (hetero side). I honestly think these mirrors/metaphors can be applied to John and Harry as well.

So, my point here is the following:

I believe the reason why we never get to see Harry is because she is a metaphor for the gay part of John’s bisexuality, which he constantly tries to hide and repress. Sherlock hasn’t met Harry because John has never openly shown this side of himself to Sherlock. John mentions her very rarely, because he is closeted and doesn’t want to recognize that he has a side with same-sex attraction. Harry has alcohol problems because John tries to dumb down his physical longing for Sherlock with alcohol (in @sagestreet‘s analysis, John’s homo side is starved, even if it’s actually more prominent than his hetero side).

If I could make a wish for S5 (except for Johnlock, which I actually take for granted) it would be that they finally let us meet Harry. :)

Period Rights: Who Gets To Bleed With Dignity The functions of women’s bodies has historically been hidden from them and ‘polite’ conversation which informs a sense of shame and hush women have talking about their periods. We are now learning how lack of access to sanitary products for certain groups of women in certain social circumstances (poverty, prison, homeless, etc.) prevent them from fully taking part in everyday life and can even lead to disadvantage. WoW has put together a frank debate of experts who are changing the period game and given us the power back to ‘bleed with dignity’ and without impediment.

Masculinity, A Solution? The construct of masculinity has been more vocally challenged in recent years with the emergence of new gender identities, the study of the various negative impact of toxic masculinity, the highlighting of rape culture and the resurgence of feminist ideologies in the mainstream. Can masculinity as we know it survive? Do we need it? Why does it cause so much harm across the world against both men and women? What’s the new ways we can carve a masculine identity that empowers, nurtures and educates men without the pain?

Panelists Include:

Risikat “Kat” Okedeyi, Moderator – hosts a radio show, The LSP Effect, a weekly online show and Creative Conversations.

Top Cat Names: What to Name Your New Cat

The post Top Cat Names: What to Name Your New Cat by Annie Butler Shirreffs appeared first on Catster. Copying over entire articles infringes on copyright laws. You may not be aware of it, but all of these articles were assigned, contracted and paid for, so they aren't considered public domain. However, we appreciate that you like the article and would love it if you continued sharing just the first paragraph of an article, then linking out to the rest of the piece on Catster.com.

Naming your cat might seem simple, but sometimes it can really take a lot of time and effort. My husband and I tend to give our cats and foster kittens human names, especially old-timey English ones (I’m a bit of an Anglophile) – Agatha and Alastair got those. Mathilda got her name because it reminded my husband of one of his favorite old songs – Waltzing Mathilda. Poor Jack got the most simple name. He was a foundling, and we tried desperately to find a home for him. After a couple of months it became obvious that his home was ours. We made up for his plain name by making his middle name Bartholomew.

Out of our four cats, Jack has the simplest name – but it fits him perfectly! © Annie Butler Shirreffs

Naming foster kittens is where we really have some fun. Most of them get human names. We’ve had Millicent, Bertie and Rupert, Frances and Oliver, Sinclair, Winston and Ainsley, Nigel, Harriet and Louise. Sometimes we name them in themes: The “candy crew” consisted of Jujube, Skittles and Zagnut. Then we had some “weeds” named Clover, Dandelion and Fern. Our “spice kittens” were Dill, Sage and Paprika. We also like to go for some literary names: Jem and Scout, Alice and Gertie (Gertrude), Ginsberg, Jeeves and Wooster, and Edgar, Allan and Poe (we were pretty proud of that one). And sometimes we just ditch the idea of human names. Two sets of Halloween kittens were Grimm and Boo, and Tarot, Rune and Ouija. A Christmas kitten was Eggnog. And a ridiculously cute pair of black kittens were Pixie and Puff.

Do cats really know their names?

This is the big question. Do cats know their names or are they responding to their human’s voice? Mikel Delgado, a cat behavior expert with Rover.com, says, “I personally think that animals tend to respond more to our tone of voice (at least initially) than to a specific name. Many of us call cats by several cute nicknames, so I don’t think that changing a cat’s name or calling them a nickname is inherently problematic.”

Mikel also points out that over time, our pets do learn to associate their name with certain things – like attention or food. “You can help your cat learn their name faster by NOT using tons of nicknames,” she says. “If you are inconsistent about using the same name when you are speaking to them, they may not always know that you are speaking to them.”

I use nicknames for my cats but the root of the name is still there. Mathilda is usually Tildy (or Tildebeest when she’s in a wild mood). Agatha is Waggie or Wags (shortened from Wagatha when we saw her wagging her tail like a dog). And Jack is usually Jackie or Jackster. When we use these nicknames, though, we’re usually talking ABOUT them, not TO them.

Cat naming advice

We don’t know if names harm cats or affect our perception of them, but Mikel believes that words matter in how we think of others. “I would suggest NOT giving your cat a ‘mean’ name or a name that implies they are dangerous, even if it seems funny to you.” After all, the majority of people love cats, but there are always some cat haters out there.

Mikel adds that when we give our pets names, we are recognizing that they are individuals, and so we feel more connected to them. “Just as we use names with people we interact with, it is part of what builds a relationship with another individual (whether cat, dog, human, etc.)”

And beware some naming pitfalls. For example, pop culture names are hugely popular – whether it’s a celebrity, a music group, sports figure, or TV or movie characters. Be careful, though. You probably don’t personally know your favorite celebrity, and the next big scandal could be theirs. Athletes get traded to other teams. And you never know how a beloved TV character is going to change. I’ve heard of so many kittens named Khaleesi and Daenerys – and we Game of Thrones fans know how that turned out!

Clever names are fun, but they might not always be appropriate – Chairman Meow for instance. Or anything overtly political, for that matter. And sometimes you can be TOO clever. My friend had a cat whose full name was Melba Edith Toast. Some people didn’t quite get it.

Popular cat names

According to Rover.com’s annual pet name survey, this year’s trends “are a true reflection of what we care most about, from the food we eat to the celebrities we love.” After surveying 1,500 pet owners, some of the most popular cat names are Oliver, Leo, Milo and Charlie for male cats; and Luna, Bella and Kitty for female cats.

For some cat parents, it’s all about food and beverages, with names like Oreo, Pumpkin, Ginger, Peanut, Cookie, Snickers, Sugar and Mocha topping the list. And healthy food-themed names are on the rise, too, like Chia and Boba.

With all the news about CBD and Cannabis, Rover.com found that marijuana-themed names are on the rise, with Kush, Doobie and Blaze trending upward.

No matter what you name your cat, don’t try to overthink it. I’ve spent hours trying to come up with names for foster kittens only to start all over again with something completely different and more fitting. Sometimes the perfect name will just hit me out of the blue. Just try to relax and look for your cat’s personality traits, and you’re sure to be inspired.

Annie Butler Shirreffs has worked in the pet industry for 20 years and is currently the senior editor of Catster and Dogster magazines. A cat lover since she was a little girl, she has always had feline friends in her life. She and her husband share their Southern California home with their four cats and an ever-changing clowder of foster kittens, all of whom enjoy being testers for cool, new products.

Podcast Transcript

Greg: Welcome to the Body Science podcast. Again with me is a Dietitian rock star, Harriet Walker — harrietwalker.com.au for anyone looking for some cool notes at the end of this podcast.

Today, we’re hitting the big topic of Vegan Diet. So it’s moved on from flexitarian. Is that the right word? Have I use that correctly?

Harriet: Yes. Flexitarian is a thing.

Greg: Which was popular to Vegan dominating the world. And just so much so that even when creating products here at Body Science — we’ve got three basic rules. If we can make gluten-free, make them gluten free. If we can make them Vegan, make them Vegan. And if we can… What’s the other one? I make the products. I’ve forgotten what the third…

Harriet: Sugar-free.

Greg: Thank you. If I can make them sugar free, make them sugar free. So vegan is a major part of our plan going forward too, like making tablets, not using lactose as a…

Harriet: Gelatin caps.

Greg: Exactly. Just moving away from that product altogether.

So they’re saying at the moment, Harriet, that 2 million Australians are pretty much living an animal-free diet.

Harriet: That’s pretty compelling figure. That’s… What’s the population of Australia, 20 million?

Greg: Yeah. Actually that’s Roy Morgan Research, and it’s 2.25 million, aged 18 and over, living a meat-free diet.

Harriet: That’s crazy.

Greg: With Melbourne and Sydney obviously having the most restaurants because they’re leading the charge.

Harriet: There we go. So that’s what brings us here today is we’re going to look at a little bit more detail about the Vegan approach to diet.

Greg: It is the new gluten-free.

Harriet: It is the new gluten-free.

Greg: I’m going to get hate mail for that. But that’s life.

Harriet: But we’ll look at some of the considerations we need to take into account when looking at making the dietary change, if that’s something that you’re interested in doing. But basically let’s look at just primarily what the different vegetarian and Vegan types of diets there are. Because there are a few, and you’ve touched on one before.

So flexitarianism — basically noncommittal way of having meat sometimes, but not all the time. Why do people cut out meat from their diet…

Greg: Probably not a bad way to live.

Harriet: No. Probably not. Meat aversion is quite common. Some people just don’t like eating meat. I don’t like that texture. Some people it’s just red meat. They really like the idea of eating it. And then for other people there’s ethical reasons as to why they might reduce or completely exclude animal products from their diet, starting from the most sort of loose end, which is a flexitarianism. They might do like a meat-free Monday. They might only eat fish, and occasionally red meat, less commonly. Then you’ve got your lacto-ovo vegetarians. We were talking about this with Summer. They eat dairy products. They eat eggs, but they wont eat meat products — meat, fish, poultry. Then you’ve got ovo-vegetarians who eat eggs but no dairy products. And then we move into full veganism where there is no animal-based products at all. So no dairy, no cheese…

Greg: No honey.

Harriet: No honey. No B-12.

Greg: Are we going to jump on that now or wait for later on that?

Harriet: Wait for later. [laughs]

Greg: I’m keen to find out where you get your B-12 for your vegan diets.

Harriet: Yeah. Well it’s interesting…

Greg: Fortified… [laughs]

Harriet: Fortified products. Definitely. We’ll come back to that.

But basically, yeah, there’s no animal products. And again, some people can do it for ethical reasons. Other people do it purely for the food aversion. And then there’s the sort of the theme coming through that a Vegan diet may be a more healthy way of living. Which remains to be seen as to whether it is the healthiest way to be eating. Some people are using it for weight loss.

So that’s the probably the broad strokes of veganism right there. But I think it’s important to look at a few key points when we’re looking at a Vegan diet.

Greg: And to look at where we are looking at this data too. Because Google trends have 90 percent increase in the word Vegan being searched these days, over vegetarian.

Harriet: Yeah, absolutely. I worked with my auntie. She makes cakes at the markets, the most beautiful cakes, and I remember about 10 years ago I was working there while studying, and someone asked us for a Vegan cake. And we were like — eat an apple, mate.

Greg: [laughs]

Harriet: That was then. That was the first time I made a raw vegan ball, because people kept on asking us. I was like — bugger it, OK, I’m going to have to figure out how to do this — so I’ve got the dates out, I got Chia seeds, I got pumpkin seeds, I did it. And that was the first time that…

Greg: It tasted good, didn’t it.

Harriet: I wish our buddy patented that recipe, because I would have been a rock star.

Greg: You would have been a rock star.

Harriet: But anyway, you miss. If you don’t jump on early, you miss out on the ship.

Yeah. There’s plenty more people trying to approach it. We’ve got a couple of prominent figures who are going the Vegan direction.

Greg: Beyonce.

Harriet: Oh, I didn’t know Beyonce was Vegan. Oh Gosh. If you like it then you should’ve put a steak on it. No, like, Gaga is definitely not vegan. I know that from her dress.

Greg: I believe Beyonce led the way veganism in a big way.

Harriet: Oh, I didn’t even know she was Vegan.

Greg: Not that I’m an expert in that area. Morgan, our production manager, would be way more technical in that area than me. But you got your, Ms Paltrow.

Harriet: Gwyneth.

Greg: Yeah Gwyneth. Mike Tyson.

Harriet: Mike Tyson? No Way.

Greg: Yeah. So we’re talking back in 2013. They could have had 15 diets since then for all I know, but obviously have had some big names jumping behind it.

Harriet: Absolutely.

Greg: You know, for brands like ours to take on… One of the three things we want. Don’t even talk to us about it. If we can do it, that’s the way we do it.

Harriet: Yeah, absolutely. So it’s obviously a big trend coming through. Then we see the raw vegan slices going gangbusters. They are delicious. So I understand that.

Greg: And you look at the plant-based protein sales in retail stores these days, big time.

Harriet: Yep. Most brands will be bringing out a plant base, so there is a demand for it. And looking at where it’s coming from. I think social media has got a really big play in it. People especially looking at the chicks on the Vegan Diet, you know, you’ve got Freelee the Banana Girl with her abs out. So I think people look at that and see, OK, is this something that I should be following? Is this your weight loss trend? Rightly or wrongly, people are taking up because like they like what they see. However, I think it’s really important to sort of dig a little bit deeper before you even start to consider becoming a Vegan or vegetarian and actually look at, OK, what do you need to consider before making a dietary change?

This is something I bang on about pretty much every dietary approach is — what are you missing out on? Or what are the considerations you need to take into account before you even consider it? Because everything’s valid as long as you can do it properly.

So the first thing is, is looking at, OK, what does the Vegan Diet look like? So basically we’re emphasising plant-based foods. So legumes, whole grains, nuts, seeds, cereals — are going to be the basis of their diet. You’ll notice straight away that the protein intake is going to be a lot different in a vegan diet versus an Omnivore, omnivorous diet, so somebody who eats plants and meats.

And you can see there’s plenty of Vegan bodybuilders out there, so I mean anything is possible.

Greg: And there’s plenty of really cool Vegan proteins coming to market now too.

Harriet: Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. So we are getting a little bit more techie with the Vegan approach and if people want to do it for ethical reasons, then that’s definitely… People are looking at, OK, how much water, food, land does it cost to raise a cow, versus to…

Greg: 2,400 gallons, I think it was, when I looked earlier.

Harriet: That’s a lot of water.

Greg: Versus 25 gallons for cows

Harriet: So they argument is for eating more a plant-based diet, are we saving saving some of the resources we have on the earth. And again, there’s plenty of people who have calculations to sort of refute those sort of claims as well. So there’s definitely people who are pro veganism.

Greg: Oh there’s lovers and hater of Vegan.

Harriet: Absolutely. It’s a very polarising diet. And I think you’ll find that people who are Vegan —

Greg: Are very loyal to the cause.

Harriet: — are very, very Vegan.

But then there’s also the people… Like I’ve got Vegan, the athletes that I work with and you don’t really know about until like — they have to tell me because it’s really critical to their performance that we know about this.

But then there are other people who really grasp onto it and it is quite emotional for them, and generally that’s the ethical side of things. If people are that passionate about something, then all power to you I think.

But yeah. So protein intake…

Greg: V-gains. Some good words coming out now.

Harriet: My V-gains…

Greg: Do you have a lot of vegan programs?

Harriet: I run a few. It’s becoming more popular. Actually, I’m seeing it more. I’m working with a couple of Vegan athletes at the moment. I’ve had a couple of Vegan power lifters. Basketball. Cycling. It’s a few. They are, definitely.

Greg: Mainly male? Mainly female?

Harriet: Mainly female. Actually, so far. I do know of a few male vegans. I hang out in some pretty cool circles. Yeah, mainly so far it’s been females. That’s not to say that that’s sort of the representative of the complete demographic.

So what I’m looking at in their diet straight off the bat when we’re looking at a Vegan diet is what are we missing out on that we get, that are required from animal products that we’re not getting in the Vegan Diet? So straight away the protein profile is going to be slightly different, B-12, as you alluded to earlier, is not present in a Vegan Diet. We can get some in a vegetarian diet, but mainly Vegan diet that’s going to be supplemented fairly quick smart. Iron is another one that we can get from plants. However, we can go into a bit more detail about why plant iron is slightly different to animal based sources of iron. Then we’re looking at Omega-3 fatty acids, as well as being sort of a little bit more deficient in the Vegan Diet. And calcium. So obviously not having dairy products, we are missing out on sources of calcium in their diet. So they’re probably the key nutrients that we have to look at in order to create a diet that is going to meet the nutrient requirements of the human body.

Greg: Does it take you longer put a Vegan diet together in the clinic? Versus…

Harriet: Yes. First of all… I mean, the couple that I have worked with are doing a really good job on dietary analysis. Once I’m looking at their diet in the software, it straight away — boom, boom, boom, boom, boom — half their iron requirements are being met, half of their calcium requirements are being met, B-12 is deficient. Things like selenium can be quite low. And then also making sure that if they’re trying to put on lean muscle mass and they’re not meeting that protein intake, that can be quite… And it actually can be quite hard to meet your energy needs as a Vegan as well. I actually went Vegan for three weeks once. I was supposed to go for a month just with a friend of mine who’s Vegan. So I thought I’d give him a little bit of love and see what they’re talking about. I lasted three weeks. I was training in quite heavily at the time and I’d lost three kilos in that time. And that for me was a no-go. I wasn’t trying to lose weight. I couldn’t keep up with my energy needs without eating copious amounts of bread. [laughs] And that didn’t agree with my stomach. I ate bread on the regular, but I couldn’t keep up with my nutrient requirements without my training suffering. So I had to kind of back off from it.

But there are plenty of vegans out there who do a really good job at meeting their energy requirements.

Greg: And there are heaps of restaurants too.

Harriet: Absolutely. And it’s a lot more easy, thinking about back in 2006 when I was working with my Auntie, a Vegan cake was like — good luck. But these days it’s dime-a-dozen. Like, it’s becoming all that more popular now, that it’s actually quite easy for people. Most restaurants will have the little vegan symbol next to the meal indicating that it’s Vegan friendly. So obviously the demand is there from the population. I mean there’s definitely some really great positive points with the Vegan Diet as well.

I think any diet that makes people think a little bit more about what goes in their mouth is not a bad thing. I think it really puts the emphasis on plants — getting enough fruits and vegetables, and we know that a lot of Australians and not eating adequate amounts of vegetables. So if there is an approach where maybe you can do Vegan or vegetarian a couple times a week, that would be sort of re-calibrating your intake, and actually getting you to think about, OK, what’s going into my mouth, what’s this providing me? I think that’s a good thing really.

But yeah, so then we’re looking at iron intake and that’s definitely something that both the athletic population and non athletic population need to be aware of, especially females. So females are very…

Greg: What are you doing for their iron?

Harriet: Again, it will be supplementing. If full Vegan, I would be getting them to get their, obviously, blood tests done on a regular basis. If they’d been Vegan for a long time, I would probably bet that they would be on the lower end, if not deficient, the serum ferritin levels would be on the decline. If they’re new vegans, new vegetarians, chances are they probably haven’t dropped to critically low, but I’d be checking them once every sort of three months if they’ve been deficient, and on a regular basis if they are just choosing that lifestyle long term.

Greg: What are signs that we’re looking for?

Harriet: It can be a lot of different things, but most of the biggest ones for iron deficiency would be dizziness, fatigue, get some dark rings under the eyes. Memory can go as well, and I’ve personally have experienced this recently. I’m not even vegan, vegetarian — low iron, it feels pretty crappy. Definitely makes you want to nap more. But it takes about three months to six months to get them back up again. So depending on how low they have been, it’s a really critical mineral for oxygen utilization across the body. So you do notice when you are iron deficient, your energy levels are pretty poor. That’s an important one to look out for. And females tend to be a little bit more susceptible to iron deficiency. So that’s definitely one to sort of consider, and also that vegetarians actually have a higher iron requirement, and this is because Vegan/vegetarian diets are using plant based iron, so this is non heme which is not as bioavailable. So basically our body can’t take it up as readily as the animal heme iron is recommended that vegetarians and vegans have around 1.8 times the RDI, Recommend Daily Intake, of iron to make sure that they’re getting that iron intake. Because as little as 5 percent of the iron from food, so we’re looking at iron-rich foods like — spinach is a big one, nut seeds, we can get little bits of irons from those as well, the green leafy vegetables are rich sources of non heme iron — but we’re not necessarily absorbing as much. Almonds is another one. Dried figs can be another source of vegetarian, non heme iron. But we need to make sure that they’re trying to get it from food where possible, but taking into account that not all of that iron is going to be absorbed from the plants. And also complementing it with vitamin C. So if somebody is taking a supplement or if they’re Vegan or vegetarian and they’re trying to maximize the absorption of that plant-based iron, 50 milligrams of vitamin C, say can actually help absorb.

Greg: OK. What are we eating for 15 milligrams of vitamin C? Just for those people out there that don’t know.

Harriet: One tomato. Or —

Greg: So you’re feeding me spinach and tomatoes so far.

Harriet: That’s a salad. Delicious. So fruits like Kiwi fruit, oranges, strawberries. Fruit is really high in vitamin C. Citrus. Yeah. So that’s what we’re looking at.

But then we also need to look at what inhibits the absorption of iron and there’s definitely a good list. So calcium actually inhibits the absorption of iron, so we want to be making sure that we were having that away from any iron-rich foods. The tannin in tea and coffee also inhibit the absorption of iron. So again, making sure that we’re having tea and coffee away from iron rich meals is really important.

Greg: It’s a dumb question — what’s a ways? Half an hour, an hour, three hours?

Harriet: I would say an hour, give or take. So you want to make sure that the digestion has occurred, but a couple of hours would probably be safe with that one there. Because of the fiber rich diet that is Vegan-vegetarian, some of the phytates that are contained in those foods can actually inhibit absorption as well.

I mean, you can’t really do too much about that, but it’s about being aware of what might enhance and what might inhibit in the Diet when it comes to iron absorption specifically.

Greg: So should a young female be very aware of snacking more regularly on a Vegan Diet?

Harriet: As long as… Well, it depends on the sort of preferred eating patterns, but they probably would require more frequent meals because the general basis, again, that plant based high fiber, it’s going to be highly satiating. So they’re going to get full quick. And they’re going to feel probably full for a long time. So making sure that you’re having regular meals and meeting their energy requirements might mean that they’re having regular snacks. Otherwise I might not be meeting that energy total across the day.

Greg: Because it sounded like was a mixture of energy total and timing of some foods.

Harriet: Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. So again, this is when working with somebody who’s going to be looking at — when are you having those iron rich foods? When are you having calcium supplements, if you need to be having that with a Vegan Diet? You’ve got to be looking at when that’s all happening. It’s really important to be aware.

So straight away you can see that it’s actually a lot that goes into being vegan. It’s not just — I’m not having anymore. A little bit of planning can make the difference between a really healthy healthful vegan diet, which is what all of the studies are showing. It can have heaps of great benefits for myriad of reasons. But if it’s done poorly it can mean a lot of really poor health outcomes as well. So nothing is bulletproof. It comes down to being aware and actually planning properly.

That’s probably the nutrient side of things that’s really important. And I think from where we’re sitting, protein intake is probably the next stop. So what sort of proteins have you got in the plant-based protein?

Greg: Got a new one coming out that won’t be much longer aft this, where we’ve definitely playing with the pea protein. A lot of people just run a straight pea protein, which is a bit of a no-no, if you ask me. We like to blend it with rice. But we’re also hitting the organic ancient grains these days. That’s our next venture. And I’m just a big fan of mixing those Aminos as much as I possibly can.

Harriet: Yeah. Fantastic. And that brings up a really good point in terms of the availability of amino acids in plant proteins. We’ve got our suite of amino acids and then we’ve got our essential amino acids, and plant based proteins aren’t always a full suite of amino acids, which means we do need to profile.

It used to be the sort of thing where you had to make sure that each meal has a blend of protein. So you might have a limiting amino acid inside quinoa. So you have quinoa with some brown rice and you’re getting the full suite.

Greg: How do you know that?

Harriet: You can actually get food data that shows what the amino acid profile of specific foods are. It’s actually quite complicated. But some of the key amino acids that you will find are low in plants. They’re going to be methionine, lycine, tryptophan, and leucine can be quite low as well. When it comes to protein, we’re only as strong as our weakest link, and if we’re missing or if we’re low on one of the amino acids, we’re not going to be getting the full benefits of having all those other amino acids there if we’re missing one or two because our diet is not complete.

So this is why having that sort of variety in the Diet, being aware of where you’re getting your protein from, what the different sources are and how you can profile them. We don’t need to profile in every single meal. But we do need to make sure that across the day we are meeting those amino acid profiles on the whole in the diet.

Greg: Question. A young adult wants 20 grams of protein in a meal. So they’ve made their meal plan. They want some Vegan, some V-gains.

Harriet: V-gains. Yep.

Greg: What do they put it on their plate to get 20 grams of protein?

Harriet: Look, I mean I’d be looking at using some brown rice. I’d be looking quinoa as a way of…

Greg: Where we at so far?

Harriet: In terms of per gram? Let me get my Fitness Pal out.

Greg: Sorry. Yep. Ball-parkey. Are we over five yet?

Harriet: Yeah. Potentially. So let’s look at maybe nine grams per hundred in brown rice. It’s pretty high, but I’d be making sure that I’ve got maybe some quinoa, maybe some tofu, and then some vegetables in there which provide us a small amount of protein but not a huge whack.

Greg: So it’s not that hard. Really.

Harriet: 20 grams of protein. It’s not hard to hit with a vegan-vegetarian diet at all. I would require people to actually, yeah, have a look what some of the good quality sources of protein. So we would be looking at things like Tofu, tempeh, quinoa, nuts and seeds, but keeping in mind that some of those foods are quite calorific, so you can go over the top with the calorie content little bit. Obviously nuts aren’t protein source directly. They are more of a fat source, but we can use them in a Vegan and vegetarian diet as the source of protein. So that’s…

Greg: Any particular nuts we should trend more towards an another type of nut?

Harriet: They’ve all got different levels of protein. Almonds tend to be the higher protein, peanuts aren’t bad either. And you can get some products, I know peanut butter, they’re doing high protein peanut butter now, so they’re fortifying the protein with extra peanut powder to increase the protein intake. So it’s definitely something that people are across and aware of. Looking at the amino acid profiles of different plants when you’re first becoming a Vegan or vegetarian is super important. Just being confident that you know what’s missing and what’s not and working with a professional to help you do that be very beneficial. Definitely.

I think also to point out that when we’re using our vegan proteins, we want to make sure that if you’re an athlete or if you’re somebody who’s looking to put on some lean muscle mass — don’t have to be an athlete. You can just be a regular gym goer — the vegan vegetarian gym goer would have to be making sure that… So I said that leucine might not be as high. And leucine is that amino acid that is associated with our muscle protein synthesis.

So there are studies showing — Van Loon did a great study comparing, relooking at the way in which Vegan vegetarian proteins trigger muscle protein synthesis after a meal, and they were comparing soy protein versus whey protein, and we know that whey protein is a really rich source of leucine and has a really great effect on raising amino acid levels in the blood to trigger muscle protein synthesis. However, soy isn’t as great at doing it — again, profiling and making sure we’re getting that critical mass, so it might mean putting a little bit of extra leucine in a Vegan, vegetarian protein as well to make sure that they’re hitting that leucine threshold as well. That’s something to keep in mind with the Vegan Diet. A few considerations there.

Greg: OK. So obviously B-12 is a big one.

Harriet: Yes. B-12.

Greg: The vegan population.

Harriet: Yeah. So B-12 is pretty much used in almost every single cell in the body, is associated with DNA production, RNA cell health in the body, and it can be produced in our gut, but we also need to be getting it from external sources, so dietary sources.

Greg: Tough one to get for a Vegan?

Harriet: Tough one to get for a Vegan. We were discussing this earlier, and my mind was blown just a little bit, because I was like — oh, where do vegans get B-12? Well, obviously, where does the B-12 from Vegan supplements come from? I feel like you might —

Greg: We don’t talk about that.

Harriet: [laughs] We don’t talk about that.

Greg: No. Even the products that they say comes from a fortified.

Harriet: So it was looking at things like brewer’s yeast, Vegemite is a good source of B-12. Yeast products.

Greg: B-12 tablet is a good source of B-12.

Harriet: And I will put most, if not all vegans, straight onto a B-12 supplement straight off the bat for that one.

Greg: I played vegan for a while.

Harriet: Yeah? What did you experience?

Greg: Well this was years ago. We first started making a vegan range in 2013. So just to see what it was like, my daughter was talking along those lines back then as a young, very young teenager. She was very much against the animal being used in food. So I thought I’ll do it with her and that way you know, we can share cooking —

Harriet: Watch and learn.

Greg: — and do the things together. And I became very low on B-12. I went and had the blood tested, all things, and had to supplement. Felt a million bucks once I did.

Harriet: Isn’t it amazing. I was saying before, my iron was on the floor just a few weeks ago, and I’m currently supplementing with iron. The difference, I mean it’s been a month now I’ve been supplementing, and the rates of nappage has reduced drastically, which is great. I feel a lot better. So we ignore that these sort of deficiencies actually really do impact well being. So being aware and being…

Greg: That’s how it is. It’s not like a negative. “Don’t not think vegan” because of these things. Just be aware.

Harriet: Absolutely. And chat to your medical professional, chat to your nutrition professional, making sure that you’re across it and that you’re being diligent with your blood tests, just making sure that you’re not dipping under. If you’ve been deficient, getting tested once every three months just to make sure that you’re dipping back up, athletes will get tested coming into an event or a big race and they’ll also get tested coming into like say attitude to training just to make sure that they’re making the most of that as well, that adaptation, because if we are experiencing any kind of deficiency our body’s not going to be adapting as well as it should be. So it’s pretty important. But…

Greg: How visible is the Vegan trend for you in the Dietitians Australia perspective?

Harriet: We get a lot of questions about it.

Greg: You do?

Harriet: It becoming increasingly popular. And it’s a social media aspect, I think, and I get asked a lot. I used to get asked a lot about coconut oil. Moving away from coconut oil, and now it’s Vegan, people want to know what it is, what to do. And some people are doing it for the right reasons and then there are the people who are maybe looking at it for probably the wrong reason that it’s purely for weight loss perspective.

There’s lots of different ways —

Greg: So if I’m eating a lot of nuts and I’m eating a lot of rice and I’m eating a lot of breads, and…

Harriet: Well. Oreos are vegan. Barbecue shapes are Vegan as well.

Greg: Wow.

Harriet: Sugar is Vegan. White flour is Vegan. And these are all the things that we’d associate with a less optimal diet.

Greg: Absolutely. So how do we lose weight there?

Harriet: Well, you probably don’t. Unless you’re not eating enough, and then we’re looking at nutrient deficiencies. So really you can do it badly. You can lose weight. But you can also end up really unwell. If you do it well make sure…

Greg: That’s any diet.

Harriet: That’s any diet. Absolutely. So we’re not saying this is any different to that.

Greg: So it’s not the holy weight loss grail.

Harriet: It is not the holy weight loss grail.

Chances are by following a Vegan Diet, you are cutting out two or three food groups. You are limiting your access to calories and therefore you’re probably creating a calorie deficit. So if you’re doing it for weight loss and you do it properly, then good — probably emphasizes more of those beneficial vegetables and fruits and whole grains and all those nutrients. Things that we should be eating. You know, if you’re going Vegan and you’re eating Oreos, white bread and white rice, you’re going to end up in trouble. But that’s just the same with everything. You know what I mean?

A long, long time ago when I first started nutrition, I was being supervised and I was doing a nutrition consultation with a Vegan who was obese, and we were going through his diet history, going like — why? Why would this be the case? And it came out he was having five jumbo, soy Chai lattes per day. You know, that’s a calorie surplus, easy. He was drinking, probably close to two liters of the soy milk, and then if you look at Chai powder, it’s horrendous. It’s cream, there’s sugar. There’s all sorts of things in there. Just goes to show you can think you’re doing the right thing, but unless you actually look at it from all angles, it’s hard to be objective with your own diet. Absolutely. You know, it’s not until you really dig deep and ask those questions that you find out that soy Chai lattes aren’t necessarily a weight loss tool.

Greg: So outside of iron, B-12, calcium — anything else I should be focusing on if I want to try a vegan diet?

Harriet: Well, the Omega threes is probably that next one. So we’ve got…

Greg: How does a plant based omega rank to say a fish-based omega?

Harriet: It’s a similar story to iron. So we’ve got the plant based Omega threes and sixes and… So we’re looking at things like — the essential fatty acids coming from plant based sources are going to be one walnuts, flax seeds, Chia seeds. Nuts and seeds. Basically. Algae is a rich source of Omegas. That’s down the bottom of the food chain for the fish. That’s where they’re getting it from. So we’re making sure that we’re also balancing out the Omega threes because it can be quite hard unless you’re having oily fish, be heating those essential fatty acids in the right mixture, plant-based diet tends to be high in Omega Sixes, which isn’t necessarily always ideal out of balance with your Omega threes.

Greg: Are there any dangers there? For the people who don’t know.

Harriet: There’s some research to say that potentially when we’re eating a high level over mega sixes, that might be proinflammatory, we know omega threes —

Greg: Which is probably a reason why a lot of people start vegan diets in the first place.

Harriet: Well, yeah. The reducing inflammation, a plant based diet can be a way to do that. There’s so much information out there that conflicts left, right and center, but we know omega three fatty acids are, and have an anti-inflammatory property. So when they’re out of balance it may be tipping the body over. But again, if we’re eating a variety of foods and looking at the sources of where we’re getting those nutrients from, we can be sort of reducing the risk of falling. And when we do all or nothing sort of approaches that we tend to fall into those sort of gaps.

So yeah, the essential fatty acids are probably one that we’d also need to look at. And then again, calorie content, making sure that we’re in within our calorie budget.

Greg: So in a traditional diet, where we’re eating anything, all food groups, we can definitely have what’s said to be a poor diet or a bad diet or an incorrect diet, whichever word you want to use. What are we throwing into a Vegan diet that puts it in that category?

Harriet: Oh, man. I would say it’s the Vegan products. There’s a lot of highly processed vegan foods. The first thing I’d be looking at is chips. They’re Vegan. Potato chips, they’re fried in vegetable oil. They’re potatoes. They are covered in salt. Or as, like I said before, there are products that are Vegan. There are lollies that are Vegan. So obviously most lollies will contain gelatin, which is an animal product, but we can get Vegan lollies. And then lots and lots of processed white flour, white bread, that kind of stuff in nutrient-poor energy-dense foods. Whereas good Vegan Diet is focusing on those good quality protein sources. We’re profiling protein. We’re getting adequate amounts of the legumes and the whole grains — rice, quinoa, buckwheat, those kinds of things. A couple of pieces of fruit and vegetables, nuts as snacks. It’s pretty easy and you can look at the plate and see that it’s healthy. The poor Vegan Diet, you look at the plate and it looks pretty white. That’s the same with all sort of poor diets. There’s a lack of color. There’s a lack of variety and there’s a lot of processed foods involved. You can look at your plate and tell most of the time, whether you’re on track or not, and I think that can be quite a powerful tool for people just to see how much color is on their plate.

Again, things like cereals feature quite heavily in a Vegan vegetarian diet, but we all know that cereal can be an absolute pack a sugar punch, depending on how processed they are, how much added sugar they are.

So I think it’s important just to look at food quality, again, flying the flag for food quality. Looking at compliance. Like if you’re following a Vegan diet purely for the sake of weight loss and you find yourself — restricting, restricting, restricting — and it is causing issues to quality of life or it is those sorts of negative impacts of any kind of diet, then review — is this working for me? Some people find it really easy to follow and it’s like a second skin. Other people, they think… They’re following it for the wrong reasons and they find it really difficult and they end up binge eating on chicken nuggets. Not ideal. That’s the sort of signal when a diet probably isn’t working for you. It should be a positive aspect of your life and it should only be a small aspect of your life. Veganism is one part of it. Probably is, in terms of all the diets, the one that has a more sort of ethical backbone to it and as such has a bit more of emotion attached to it. But also, I am friends with all sorts, and I’ve got vegan friends and you wouldn’t know they were Vegan until they bought it up, and they do their own advocating in their own ways, and it’s not an issue if you’re not Vegan. But then you get other people who, again, they’re holding onto it quite tightly and it becomes a point of contention with people. And it’s like, well, anything like that, that causes a lot of friction the way you eat — I would question whether or not that’s a positive.

I think that’s probably on the whole, the picture when it comes to veganism. It’s plant based diet, looking at specific nutrients that we might not be able to get from the plants. We’re looking at protein, iron, Omega threes, calcium, B-12 — other than that, we can do it really well, or we can do it poorly. I think that’s probably the basics of it.

Greg: Nice. I reckon that probably covers.

Harriet: Most of the aspects of it. Yeah, definitely. I don’t think it has to be easy or as complicated as you like it, but I think that’s probably the key when you’re starting out.

Greg: A little bit more planning for those people that probably aren’t planning as much as they should be.

Harriet: Absolutely. And anything that makes you sort of concentrate more on the quality of your diet, always good by me.

Greg: Perfect.

Well that buzzword has just been chatted. I’d love to hear a lot about Vegan. If you look at the sheer amount of data in relation to where sports nutrition’s going to. They definitely the plant based Vegan is a growth category. Major companies are buying Vegan brands. And our brand is definitely got a major play towards Vegan if we can.

Harriet: Yeah.

Greg: I assume you’re going to be writing of female vegan diets.

Harriet: Here we go. Bring it on. [laughs]

Greg: So that’s harrietwalker.com.au.

Harriet: That’s the one. That’s the one. And harrietwalker@athleticeating. Instagram.

Greg: Well, there you go. Happy days guys. Thanks heaps to join the podcast.

I understand that Kourtney Kardashian and her family are very financially prosperous in their own right. It is only natural that her and her sisters are going to bond with their new arrivals and it is a safe bet on a beneficial side that none of the Kardashian sisters’ children are going to grow up wanting. As for Sofia Richie she is doing nothing wrong by calling Scott Disick her boyfriend. I am neither a fan or hater of Kourtney Kardashian yet if it is true that she called time on the relationship between her and Scott Disick then it is only natural and human that Scott Disick would find someone else who would romantically care for him. Yes, Sofia Richie is much younger than both Scott Disick and Kourtney Kardashian yet she is 19 years old which is old enough to consent. Additionally, it is challenging for me to admit this yet even at my job I have met some multiple teenage females who are very mature and responsible for their age. My point even if in the minority; even with the age difference between Scott Disick and Sofia Ritchie they may be more emotionally and spiritually compatible than many people realize. Even I understand that it may not even be the age that Scott Disick even cares about, maybe he likes that Sofia Ritchie enjoys her life andor carries little emotional baggage/maybe Sofia Ritchie is highly self confident, ambitious etc.

As with many other educated people both American citizens and highly aware people residing outside of the U.S., I am aware that Puerto Rico has voted to become the 51st state of the United States and they are still pending approval from Congress, which naturally still renders them a commonwealth of the United States not yet a state of the United States. With that said, whether President Donald Trump likes it or not, any citizen of Puerto Rico is currently allowed to move and reside anywhere they desire within the United States because they are American citizens. As a woman who voted for Hillary Clinton last year but whose late adoptive father was a supporter of Donald Trump I do try my best to see the good in President Donald Trump. However, public relations wise, I would hope that any of Donald Trump’s employees who are affiliated with his publicity would advise him on how this looks that he allows citizens of Florida and Texas to make use of foodstamps but not citizens of Puerto Rico especially after some of the politicians of Puerto Rico praised President Donald Trump in his recovery efforts. Yes, it is common knowledge that many of the citizens of Puerto Rico voted democrat yet this does not disqualify them for foodstamp usage approval for hot meals due to them being American citizens. Before anyone asks, I am blessed to be foodstamp free as I am blessed with a good paying job and an amazing, sweet, and handsome husband who is both ambitious and resourceful, yet I would not dare judge anyone on foodstamps. However, I felt compelled to speak up as I am really trying to see the good in President Donald Trump yet this story makes me want to say that someone in Donald Trump’s political circle needs to tell him to show more compassion towards even American citizens who are not predominantly his political supporters.

I saw some info online on Melissa Ben-ishay and I would agree that both her career/money success and weight loss are hard-won efforts. I have personally discovered by accident in a good way that still eating what I want in much smaller portions, even with less exercise can yield powerful weight loss results. Despite Melissa Ben-ishay being forced to leave her advertising job in the past I hope that she goes on to achieve much more career and money success regardless of the professional doors she chooses to go through in both her present and future career/employment life.

I confess that I still want to watch the Last Ship tv show and the Good Place this autumn season and catch up on some Game of Thrones when I can. Due to time reasons, I only have time to watch some seasons of NCIS and I became interested in watching the Los Angeles versions after reading about them in a recent memoir written by Hillary Clinton. I also heard a local radio commercial less than 2 hours ago while I was in the shower advertising for NCIS Los Angeles and this article makes me wonder if Pauley Perette features in any of the Los Angeles episodes. Nonetheless, from me hearing about the NCIS Los Angeles tv show on local Washington D.C. radio less than 2 hours ago and unexpectedly coming across this article I intuitively and logically take this as a sign and hint to consider watching NCIS Los Angeles and also seeing if Perette is in any of those episodes when I can squeeze in the time after also keeping up on the most current episodes of The Last Ship and the Good Place. Nonetheless, I also wish Pauley Perette the best on her life journey regardless of the career and money paths she chooses to take after the NCIS tv show.

Save 10 percent ad

An interesting ad that popped up less than 3 minutes after I typed the word Move by Sia

An amazon intell ad saying if your customer is on the move join them, due to the website link being connected to my amazon website link I prefer to avoid listing it from amazon for privacy reasons relating to my login, however I had to at least reference the words for anyone seeing this who wants to look up the ad on amazon.

This Strange Effect by Hooverphonic resonated within my soul today less than 10 minutes ago after hearing it featured on an ad connected to youtube today of a woman in love with her partner who wants to capture an image for her on what looks to be a phone. The song is both haunting and beautiful in a unique way especially with the gorgeous vocals.

As with other people, my prayers and well wishes go out to everyone affected by this shocking incident that occurred in Nevada during the Harvest Music country festival. Obviously, I do not condone whatever drove Stephen Paddock to do what he did to many innocent people yet I am surprised that one motive is not being as widely discussed; what was Stephen Paddock’s social life, love life, and overall career life like from the time he was in his 30s andor even his 20s until 64 years of age. I say this because I noticed that he chose to kill so many people when they were having fun with their friends for family, was he wishing that he could be like some of the concert goers who have abundant family members andor friends surrounding him but instead of channeling that energy to get out there and meet people like other people do, you can pretty much get the picture. Additionally, I would also see if the law enforcement officials are comfortable interviewing Paddock’s family andor even at least one or both of his exes andor in laws again to see if he was always rich in order to see if he felt the need to do what he did to both inflict revenge andor save face as it is human nature for even some family members to keep their distance emotionally if they are concerned about you possibly needing their help financially even if temporarily andor they would freely offer their help. I would also interview the in-laws andor any coworkers andor friends he knew in his 40s andor 50s to get an idea of how his social and love life was like without shaming anyone if they happen to tell a harsh truth about him (in order to get them to feel safe to open up about any hidden motives that may not be apparent to other people who may not have gotten to know him until Paddock was in his 50s/60s when he became wealthier). I believe Paddock’s brother that they got along, but obviously there had to be some details that were hidden from even his brother as it is also human nature to sometimes withhold andor be secretive about certain things from even the most well-meaning family members.

I am keeping this Washington Post link pertaining to Laurene Powell Jobs both for storytelling reasons and to help me understand some of the stories that catch other people’s attention as it pertains to real-life.

Laurene Powell Jobs is buying a big stake in Wizards, Capitals sports empire by Thomas Heath

I admit that this article pertaining to Prince George’s School Lunch menu catches my attention both because Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton seem like a happy couple in love who also care about their kids and also due to the nature of my job pertaining to food services at a university. Thanks to my current job I am aware of at least a couple of long-term/lifetime career goals/ideas to have and this article pertaining to the meal plan at Prince George’s school gives me a fun and creative idea on imagining what the school lunch ladies at Thomas Battersea School work to prepare foodwise.

I mark a new beginning in the book of my life and wisely use the free time I have been giving to rest and tune even deeper into various aspects of my life-spiritual, athletic goals such as walking more, balancing my writing time with some online courses I have enrolled in etc.

I am in the process of becoming more cool,level-headed, and wise when it comes to how I conduct myself around my current work colleagues and future coworkers as I am now logically and intuitively aware that some of them may follow me to where I may reside within 7 years from now or less regardless if I am a private sector andor a government/military worker/employee.

I am well provided for. I live in an abundant universe.
