The co-founder of failed cryptocurrency exchange FTX pleaded not guilty to a seven count indictment charging him with wire fraud, securities fraud and money laundering.

An attorney for FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried said in federal court Tuesday his client has to subsist on bread, water and peanut butter because the jail he's in isn't accommodating his vegan diet.

There's no way this chubby fuck is vegan

[-] Naatan@lemmy.one 33 points 2 years ago

I reeeaaally wish people would stop drawing a direct line between eating vegan and eating healthy.

Just cause I don’t want to eat animals that doesn’t mean I don’t want to stuff my face with good food.

Most restaurants just throw a salad at you or something.

You can eat nothing but Oreos and be vegan lmao. My dad literally gained weight when he became a vegan.

[-] Heikki@lemm.ee 29 points 2 years ago

To be fair, there are lots of unhelthy vegan foods. Just because "veg" is in the name of your dietary preference doesn't mean you can just eat oreos all day

[-] Kirca@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Can confirm Source: don't eat meat, still a fat little gremlin

[-] arc@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

Same for gluten free diets. Some people think eating gluten free is healthy (it isn't), but cram your face with GF pizza, pasta, cookies and candy and you'll be as fat as anyone else. As for health, my kids are celiac so I frequently peruse the ingredients of these products and even simple GF breads can have dozens of ingredients to give it texture, bubbles, elasticity & taste similar to regular wheat bread.

Actually, I think that's exactly what it means!

[-] Not_Alec_Baldwin@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

TIL Oreos are vegan.

So are Doritos and Hershey chocolate syrup. Vegan doesn't mean healthy.

[-] apex32@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago

Doritos are not vegan. Are you thinking of Fritos?

[-] such_lettuce7970@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago

Sweet chili heat flavour are, or were last time I checked.

[-] WldFyre@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Can confirm, and they're better than the regular flavor too

[-] Not_Alec_Baldwin@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Apparently depending on your brand of vegan, some sugar doesn't make the cut. I don't know the ins and outs I literally just googled it.

[-] Evrala@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

A lot of white sugar is made with bone char.

[-] iopq@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

You can make vegan cakes, cookies, fried shit. Vegan doesn't mean healthy

[-] Psythik@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago

And unhealthy doesn't automatically mean fat, either. It's all about calories in, calories out. You can eat all the junk food you want and still be skinny, so long as you're burning more calories than you're consuming.
