Let me start by saying this: I have nothing against veganism or vegetarianism. What I can’t stand is the division it has created — this constant need to label people, to create camps, and to make it a competition of who’s better, smarter, or more “pure.”
What started as a personal lifestyle choice for many has turned, for some, into a form of moral hierarchy — a game of superiority wrapped in hashtags and nutrition studies. People throw research at each other like weapons, forgetting that real life isn’t lived in laboratories or comment sections.
We forget the human side
There are so many factors that affect how and what someone eats: culture, access to fresh food, environment, financial situation, age, even climate. Not everyone can thrive on a vegan diet, just like not everyone feels great eating meat.
Some parts of the world simply don’t have the resources or variety to sustain a balanced vegan lifestyle year-round. And during key periods of life — childhood, adolescence, pregnancy — nutrition isn’t something to experiment with as if it’s a fashion trend.
It became a religion, not a solution
Instead of uniting people through health and awareness, food choices have turned into a modern cult. You’re either “one of us” or “one of them.” It’s no longer about eating better, it’s about proving a point.
But health should be a personal journey, not a competition.
What balance looks like for me
I eat beef, chicken, and fish seven days a week — always with plenty of vegetables, fruits, nuts, eggs, and sometimes dairy. I avoid bread, pasta, sweets, refined sugar, and pastry products as much as possible. I’ve done endurance challenges like cycling from London to Paris, London to Bucharest, and even running from London to Amsterdam.
I train regularly at the gym, take cold showers, stretch almost every night, go to the sauna twice a month, and start every morning with calcium, magnesium, and two liters of water. Breathing exercises, recovery, and consistency keep me strong.
And you know what? I’m fine. I don’t chase immortality — I just want to enjoy the life I have. For me, health means balance, not extremes.
Food should bring us together
Yes, I make vegan cakes, but that doesn’t mean I have to be vegan. It’s simply a delicious way to enjoy nuts, seeds, and fruits in one bite — and it’s something everyone can appreciate, no labels required.
For almost two years, I haven’t taken a single pill or drug. That, to me, is real health — being strong enough that your body recovers naturally, without external help. I think that’s what everyone ultimately wants as they grow older: to be healthy, independent, and energetic — not to be labeled as “vegan” or “non-vegan.”
Because in the end, the goal isn’t to belong to a group. It’s to live well, feel good, and stay balanced.
