vegan cheese: my nephew is 20 i am 17. i eat alot of vegeables and potatos and drinks lots of water and eat fresh fruits and whole grain cereal and i also drink almond milk and also include nuts in my diet ( im a vegetarian) and i feel good when i stand up i don't feel dizzy or like i am about to pass out. i just feel better being vegetarian and eating better overall. i do eat amy's ( vegetarian brand) TV dinners evrey now and then but i dont cake myself like my nephew. when he stands up he has been complaning about feeling dizzy and seeing sparkles in his eyes. i always see boxes of apple pies in the trash evreytime their is apple pie avalible since he eats them so much. and also he drinks soda non stop the pepsi bottle ( which i rarely drink anyway) is always half gone by the mourning. i hear him using the microwave all the time warming up popcorn and alot of other ( cook fast/warm up) junk food. i NEVER see him eat fruits or veggies. rarely ( even rarely) hel eat frozen lasigna veggies that are prosccsed. and he also eats alot of slices of cheese ( i use vegan cheese if i am making a veggie vegetarian soy patty burger) and sometimes he eats macoroni and cheese and also he eats alot of canned meat filled ravioli. it's alot of junk and proseced food mixed togeather that's his diet. when ever their is gummy bears ( like 2 packs) they are gone in 1 or 2 days because he eats them all the time. so i am guessing that i will probaly have a longer life spam/disease free life then he will? i mean i am not the one getting dizzy like him lol. oh and also i usaley put fresh ornages in the juicer and make ornage juice. i also am leaning towards more organic health food stores as they have mostly vegetarian and vegan foods anyway which i eat. he never eats organic or even fresh fruits or vegies from a normal store........let alone my leage of eating organic food and drinking lots of water. should i confront him and encorage him to eat healthier? evrey night i hear the microwave all that radiation has got to be bad for him.. he also lives here because he has no home even though he is 20 and when my mom almost got him into job corse so he can get a job and money and a place to live he refused to go because he did not want to ( leave home) lol. pathatic. plus hes a meat eater and us vegetarians and vegans live longer on average of 6-10 years longer. so i guess my life span will be my victory.|||Yes! I do believe you are eating healthy foods. The diet your brother is consuming a lot of fattening, greasy, high sugar products- those can lead to high cholesterol, and diabetes, weight gain, and other poor health conditions. I really admire your sticking to healthy foods. I have discovered organic foods tastes way better than by products foods. Unfortunately, organic foods are a bit expensive. Unless you know where to shop that has food items cheaper than other stores. Maybe some time in the future, you could maybe try sharing some foods that you're eating when you are around your brother.. like for example, yesterday I was hanging out with one of my neighbors. I was eating organic red grapes- they are very very good! So I shared that with her while we talked.|||lol you vegans are so annoying|||I don't think it's any of your business. You live your life, he should live his. While eating healthy and being vegetarian blah blah blah is better for you, it does not make you immune to any illness at all. So don't be counting your chickens before they hatch. You could wind up with a heart attack out of the blue at 30.
