Hello.
I have been vegetarian since always (the legit sort ;-) no flesh of any variety).
I study engineering, and have incredibly bad health despite eating well.
I record audio books as voluntary work.
And like art, and computer games.
:-) that's me.
 
Welcome! It's so frustrating we we have problems with health. The first thing random strangers always blame is anything we do that is "different". Are you familiar with the "just world fallacy"?

The Just-World Fallacy

Health professionals are not immune to this sort of faulty thinking.

Thankyou for your kind replies. This is very true, cognitive dissonance is something I am abnormally interested in.

Why on earth they think my poor health is caused by eating vegetarian food rather than my far more outlandish hobby of recording audio books, or playing Katamari Damacy, is anyone's guess.

Hi! :flower: What is for sure, is that your health will improve because of being here! Promise!<3

Hello & :welcome: to the forum. What part of Canada are you from ?
