“For me, I am driven by two main philosophies: know more today about the world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you.” (Neil deGrasse Tyson)

What we call “science” is more typically male-dominated phallo-technocracy. All those definitive (sic) studies we cite in posts, memes, blogs, and articles are typically funded by someone and that someone typically has an agenda -- or else that study typically doesn’t happen.

Not all agendas are nefarious, of course, but living within the constricting confines of a corporate culture makes it virtually impossible to discern intent when there’s a profit to be made or an ideology to be advanced.

All this brings me to a study that allegedly found: “Vegetarians displayed elevated prevalence rates for depressive disorders, anxiety disorders and somatoform disorders.”

When “research” like this is brought to the attention of vegans, some will respond by sharing a study that allegedly found a plant-based diet to be beneficial to one’s mental health. Spend a little quality time with your search engine and you too will discover that “research” often “proves” the veracity of diametrically opposed theories.

1. this phrase jumped the shark

"What we call “science” is more typically male-dominated phallo-technocracy."

Sorry folks, Science doe snot need your belief to exist. Yes, there is a lot of abused, misused science, but we do not need to open the door to some mystical crap to live.

2. Few if any "comfort" foods are vegan compliant.

That may be relevant. But lots of comfort foods are VEGETARIAN compliant.

Vegans should supplement with vitamin B-12 which is found mainly in foods of animal origin as it keeps the nervous system working properly. (See Dr. Joel Fuhrman's book EAT TO LIVE)
