ATTENTION SAUSAGE FACES: “The Fly” is a Vegetarian Now

After careful consideration, Mr. 2 1/2 inch ribeye has decided to quit eating decaying animal flesh, and to instead sustain himself on a plant-based diet for the sake of ridicule.

Let me explain.

Some people turn to veggies because they don’t want to kill and eat animals.

I, on the other hand, couldn’t care less about animals. Kill them all. Have at it.

Others are concerned about health issues, becoming retarded in their later years, looking like sausage faces, etc.

I am immortal, have an IQ of 155, and couldn’t gain weight even if I ate nothing but chocolate cake for the rest of my life here on earth.

The reason why I’ve decided to quit meat is for the ability to gain the power to ridicule others, make them feel dreadful for killing baby cows and ripping into flesh with their teeth like savages. Plus, have you ever looked at a person’s fat face and said to yourself, ‘that’s a sausage face?’

When people greedily gorge themselves with meats, their entire visage takes on a look of sweaty, fat, decay. I do not intend to align myself with the sausage faces of the world, or bro-scientists who eschew reason for nonsensical literal caveman diet plans which entails eating sticks of butter for breakfast.

No, “The Fly” is much better than that and will now begin his quest into the wondrous and delirious world of vegetarianism.

Some of my previous diets included 150-200g of protein per day diet when bulking, low carb diet when cutting, no coffee for a year, gluten free/dairy free and now this.

Also, I will not partake in the consumption of dairy or egg yellows either. I might, every so often, nibble on an egg white or perhaps devour an oversized piece of chocolate cake that has both butter and milk in it. Again, my stated goal is to obtain power over others, via massive amounts of shaming and ridicule. Also, I’ve eaten enough steak and chicken for 5 human life spans. It’s time for a change lads, join me in a sausage free life. Put down that disgusting rib eye (cooked median rare, heavily salted and lightly peppered) in exchange for a piece of okra.

    This couldn’t come at a worse time for me. I recently gave up alcohol (by choice not necessity) and subsequently ordered a 1/4 cow grass fed organic brangus. This will be delivered to my home next month after one of the loan ranches slaughters their next herd or cattle.

    I would love to join you sir, but one thing at a time for me.

        Corn is found in the south for sure, but its main ground is the Midwest. If you want to be a true Southern Gentleman you will grow tomatoes, turnip / collard greens, black-eyed peas, squash and yes okra… lovely lovely okra. Live near the western banks of the Mississippi River in delta regions you can grow some very good rice.

        Of course if you want to go real old school, get a couple of hundred acres of cotton fields. Won’t help with your diet but it will assist the cash flow and haberdashery. Harvesting may be an issue once all the Messicans are run off but that’s your problem, not mine.

        Good luck.

    i only eat very small portions of meat. lot of asian food with a few slices of meat in each dish.

    rarely gorge down a full steak. maybe 2 or 3 times a year.

    law of diminishing returns, first and second bite of steak are the best. after those first few you don’t remember the rest of the steak.

    Your stint of giving up coffee provided us a pretty fast 20% draw down via Greek and Euro fuckery so I figure this dabble in vegetarianism will really fuck shit up.

          Admittedly, the Earl Grey obsession was a little misguided. But that was only because I was not a true coffee connoisseur. Since that time, unlike the lot of you faggots, I’ve educated myself and have developed a mastery in the arts of coffee production.

          While I did enjoy my respite from the preferred beverage of homeless people worldwide, I am much happier now drinking ‘the black’, especially since I have a new appreciation and understanding of it.

          Now go pop in a fucking K Cup into your filthy GMCR machines and drink some black mold.

    What will you eat for protein? That’s always been the killer criteria for me. Will you drink whey or IR’s protein shakes? The occasional egg white won’t cut it for a robust adult male.

        From a lot of the reading I’ve done, many plant proteins are not complete proteins and you would need to make sure you get enough different kinds. Also if you want to have a high protein diet as I would recommend for any real man, you’d have to eat a fuck ton of plants to get enough without specifically supplementing protein through things like whey shakes.

        Tofu and other soy products bring in the phytoestrogen problem, absolutely off the charts estrogen you would be consuming if you used that as your sole/primary protein source.

        I could do plant based, sure, but I would be eating 5 eggs or at least egg whites per day and probably 150 grams of protein from whey shakes. I don’t see any other reasonable way to get enough protein on a regular basis.

    Good for you Dr. Fly. I would say you are making a much healthier choice. It sounds like you were adverse to eating fish. However, the cardiovascular benefits of fattier fish mixed with the low toxicity of smaller fish (ex. sardines and small herrings) caught off the coast of say New Brunswick would be an added bonus to your diet and longevity. Just my professional opinion. Take care, Soupbowl.

    Fly –
    I tried the vegetarian thing for a few months. I’m pretty active, lift and run 5 times a week. The main problem with the faggot diet is it is impossible to maintain proper macro counts. I found that by not eating meat, you end up supplementing the calories with a lot more carbs. This is just simply not healthy as most carbs convert to glycogen, and when your liver glycogen stores are full, your body will convert it to fat. I challenge you to present a realistic diet consisting of 1800-2200 calories where you won’t be stuffing your face with processed carbs. Pro tip: you can’t.

        Most people eat meat because that’s what they are used to and it is convienent. They don’t realize the spiritual dificientcies they possess and just buy dyed pink meat on Styrofoam and go about their pathetic lives.

          A lot of people knock on wild game because it’s “gamey” but that’s purely due to how it’s butchered and cooked. Eating what you kill is more than just eating, it’s a connection and an experience, especially when you can share it with others. Tough to explain in words but hopefully you can experience it.

          Good luck with the transition. It’s a lot of work but in the end well worth it.

    Doesn’t sound like fun. A nice juicy steak can never be replaced.

    I’ve been able to go veggie with milk and eggs for about a month and a half because of gout. Massive lack of protein and feel lacking all the time. Too much pasta and bread to attempt to make up for something you can only get from meat. And eating quinoa tastes like shit after a while.

    So I decided on a happy medium by eating all my meals with meat on the weekends only and carb and veggie only on during the work week with milk and eggs. Feel way more balanced this way

    This has got to be a joke. No way Fly’s gone faggot. Besides, his wife is from the Pampas. Her men eat beef as a matter of tradition.

    Well, well, well. The Fly certainty touched a nerve on this one!

    May I suggest you retain seafood as part of your diet? The 70# Alaskan halibut I caught today is tasting mighty fine tonight.

    Also, may I suggest you try Quorn products for a meat substitute in recipes? it’s a patented mycelium that has a texture very close to real meat.

      I found the Gardein burgers the best tasting so far (ultimate beefless burger, red bag), but I’ve yet to try the Impossible Burger. Looking forward to that one. Gardein makes most of the best tasting faux meats I’ve tried. The Mandarin Orange Crispy Chik’n is fantastic. Their meatless meatballs are highly recommended.

    Well done, Dr. Le Fly! This is the best news I’ve read in many years. Congrats and welcome to the winning team. I’ve been meat free for seven years and totally vegan for 3 and it’s the best decision I’ve ever made.

    The Fly is God, people! How dare you question Him? Look at these childish, idiotic attacks. JakeGint, that’s embarrassing. I expect better from you.

    It’s amazing how many assholes just insulted The Fly on this Holy Site. You cowards should “honor ban” yourselves at the very least.
