Really! Well fuck me, that's cunning of them. I hate the place though, arseholes left right and center. Like a lot of cycling forums where the vegans follow you around and pounce on any mention of putting chocolate in your bag for an energy boost. Chocolate has animal product in it did you know? That's what makes it so tasty :)

It was a good move, before the cap I would often write ~100 comments a day and one unpopular thing could make it a net loss. Which wouldn't matter except when you get below a certain threshold you can't participate in subs with karma restrictions anymore so there was an incentive to only echo popular sentiments.

The downside is most people have no idea these caps exist and are still writing with the fear of losing karma by saying the wrong thing.

Pre-cap my account of 2 years had something like 6k karma. After the cap my new account hit a quarter mil karma in a year. The big change is people couldn't cancel me out anymore. I said the same shit as ever, just now when people disagreed they didn't affect my fake internet points much.

Chocolate isn't vegan? I know sugar in the US isn't always vegan because they use bone char to whiten the sugar and there's sugar in chocolate but beyond that I don't know what wouldn't make it vegan.

Ingredients

dark and white chocolate all contain sugar, cocoa butter, full cream milk powder, cocoa liquor, lecithin, vanilla and cocoa.

It's the butter that cancels it for the poor bastards. The milk and the butter. Dairy is Rape according to the more extreme vegans. No doubt there is a vegan chocolate out there just like there are vegan burgers and sausages. Now why in the world would you want to eat something that is dressed up to look like meat when you are totally against meat? That is the question, and answer's, or excuses you will find searching, invariably come from within the sub-culture itself. Personally I don't care what people eat, but I care when they start trying to convert me to their religion. My sister went Vegetarian 40 years ago, there were no vegans back then. She is still one but broke up with her latest, a vegan, over her refusal to stop eating chocolate and cake etc. Strange world.

Cocoa butter isn't made from animals, it's all from the bean.

My parents switched to Veganism after reading The China Study. They're not strict though, it's not a morality thing.

I tend towards a plant based diet naturally, just what I like eating, but I don't think it's a good thing. I tracked my food on the Chronometer app for a year and at the beginning I was getting just 25g of protein a day when the minimum for me is 65g and optimal non-lifting levels are around 125g. I have to pay attention to it or I go back to eating food that doesn't meet my macros.
