Nope. When Durianrider posts his vegan religious tracts it is to bait people. It has nothing to do with vegatarianism per se. Pay attention, assuming the lack of meat has not affected your neural function, and you will notice these things.

There is a vegan thread in the "fitness" forum. Durianrider knows it is there. He has posted to it. He posts his fruitboy screeds to the other forums for a purpose. People got tired of him bragging about eating fifty bananas a day. The easy way and fun way to deal with his trolling is to throw it back in his face with pictures of delicious meaty dishes.

If you had been paying attention then you would know that Durianrider, more commonly known as fruitboy, has been pushing his vegan crap on everyone for months. So whenever he makes one of his fruit religion posts, we respond with images of food.

I can't say it any better than Bro did. This thread ceased to be about the good aspects of veganism once DR descended upon it. This became a pulpit for Reverend Fruitboy to decry the evils of omnivorism. Hey look! A vegan sacrificing himself for the omnivore. The cycle continues...

Who cares what Dave Z has gone vegan. He has also grown a mustache lately (it's been for a while, I know). I don't see a thread about his mustache! WHERE IS THE MUSTACHE THREAD!

According to his website, it's been a gradual switch towards being vegan.

Let me explain the way it works. When someone posts a thread that should have been posted somewhere else we have people called "Mod-er-a-tors" who relocate them. You don't get a free pass to trash the thread because you don't like him or you think he posted in the wrong spot. When you trash the thread, by definition that makes you the troll, not the other way around.

I can see my analogy to your "Cat Thread" was totally lost on you.

Probably because it did not make any sense. When I start posting cat threads to the pro cycling forum and the general cycling forum then you might have a point. In that case I would expect people to derail the threads with off topic posts.

Here, have a shrimp po' boy. Maybe the meat going through your system will loosen the stick up your butt.

Ah excuse me, in case you hadn't noticed "Reverend Fruitboy" started this thread. You are the one who descended on it with what amounts to a total non contribution.

I must be a rarity, I eat meat, but I keep an open mind about veganism, and learning more about it.

My housemate is vegan, one of my best friends is vegan, and one of my ex girlfriends is vegan. I've eaten plenty of vegan food and I have no problem with it. My problem with durian is his holier then thou attitude which stems from the fact he has a different diet.

He appears to be a quite talented athlete, with a diet and lifestyle that works for him. Great. I'm happy for him. Just don't litter the forums with pictures and graphs which amount to no more then vegan propaganda. It's a diet, that's all.

And yes, it definitely IS baiting people when you post in the manner that durian does.

Moderation and variety are the key to a good diet omnivore or vegetarian.
Heck you can die from drinking too much water.
Even bananas have a dark side
Banana equivalent dose
Many foods are naturally radioactive, and bananas are particularly so, due to the radioactive potassium-40 they contain. The banana equivalent dose is the radiation exposure received by eating a single banana. Bananas are radioactive enough to regularly cause false alarms on radiation sensors used to detect possible illegal smuggling of nuclear material at US ports

Uh-oh. Durianrider won't like hearing that. With the number of bananas he claims to eat per day, he must glow in the dark. Just being around him is probably a health risk to others, and not just from the gassy emissions common to vegans.

I happened to see the man himself today riding near where I live today. I was riding on the opposite side of the road going home from a ride that I did today.

Yeah. Similarly, I've often wondered why people have such nice motor vechicles to move around perfectly functioning bicycles. In fact, the bevy of bicycles they have to place atop that vechile are curious.

Surely they dont need them.

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make, but there's a difference between driving many, many hours in a comfortable car taking care of riders and their bikes, versus being very uncomfortable for many, many hours after eating such a monstrosity.

So again, no one needs to eat something that bad, but yes, people do need comfortable, reliable cars to drive during races.
