Miley Cyrus has revealed she no longer follows a strict vegan diet after finding that it negatively impacted her health.

On Wednesday, the Midnight Sky singer discussed her reasons for no longer being vegan during an interview with Joe Rogan on his podcast The Joe Rogan Experience.

“I was vegan for a very long time and I’ve had to introduce fish and omegas into my life because my brain wasn’t functioning properly,” the 27-year-old said.

According to the singer, who said she followed “the strictest [vegan diet] you’ve ever known” from 2013 to 2019, there were other health factors that impacted her decision as well, including intense hip pain and her realisation that she was “pretty malnutritioned [sic]” and “running on empty”.

For her first non-vegan meal, Cyrus said she ate fish cooked on the grill by her ex-husband Liam Hemsworth, who she separated from in August 2019.

“My ex-husband cooked me some fish on the grill,” she recalled, adding that it wasn’t easy for her to eat food that wasn’t vegan. “I cried, like, for a long time. I cried for the fish… it really hurts me to eat fish.”

Since incorporating meat and gluten into her diet, Cyrus said she has found that she is “much sharper” than she was when she was eating a completely plant-based diet.

And while she admitted that the potential backlash over no longer being vegan is “terrifying,” the pop star said it’s okay if the vegans “come for me”.

“They’re going to come for me but that’s okay,” she said. “I’m used to people coming for me.”



Cyrus also said she makes up for her non-vegan diet in other ways, such as taking care of her many pets.

“I have 22 animals on my farm in Nashville, I’ve got 22 in my house in Calabasas, I’m doing all I need to do for the animals,” she said.

Unfortunately like many of the events of 2020, bigotry and hate are very much an ongoing problem. A man brings in an AR-15 into a gay bar, brandishes and fires the gun and at one point shouted that he would "have killed those faggots" if the police had not shown up.

I don't know what the deal is but there seems to be a lot of news coming out of the mid west lately... It is quite alarming that we have that many sick people in the world.

Here's the red swingline stapler scene from "Office Space" (1997)...

This show is great... If you haven't checked it out definitely do so. It comes on FX (in US) and I think it is on some streaming services...

The family saga of the Drewitt-Barlows grows ever more complicated.

Highly publicised “first gay dads”, Barrie Drewitt-Barlow and Tony Drewitt-Barlow originally from the UK, divorced after 32 years of marriage last year. Then Tony started dating Scott Hutchinson, 25, and the two announced they were expecting a child through a surrogate. Tony happens to be an ex-boyfriend of Saffron Drewitt-Barlow, daughter of Barrie and Tony. Great, we’re all caught up!

Over the weekend, Barrie confirmed on Instagram he’d popped the question to Scott, and now the two plan to marry. The proposal came during a family vacation in Croatia, with a supportive Saffron in attendance.

Clearly not desiring any public attention during this private and intimate moment, Barrie posted a video of a boat deck covered in rose pedals and tea lights, asking viewers in a sing-songy tone “What’s happening here tonight? I wonder what it could be?” and finally resting the camera on a sizeable diamond ring:

Former college track star David Gilbert made headlines in 2015 when he came out as bisexual on Facebook, which took a lot of courage for someone raised in a Jehovah’s Witness household.

“Growing up as a Jehovah’s Witness, I have been told many times whom I can and cannot be,” Gilbert, who was attending Lewis-Clark State College in Idaho at the time, wrote. “I would like to let everyone know that I, David James Gilbert, am bisexual.”

Now, in a new interview with Outsports, the runner reflects on his coming out experience five years later, coronavirus, and the current state of American politics.

“Life is weird right now,” Gilbert, who now lives in Seattle and works in finance, says, “I believe that two types of athletes will emerge from this pandemic–those who used this time to better themselves and those who wasted it. I hope that you choose wisely.”

The "EXPERTS" say voting in person is less risky... other, non-peer reviewed experts say it is risky.

Take proper precautions and do absentee if you are in an at risk population, or think it's so risky.

Quote:A peer-reviewed study published in the August issue of the American Journal of Public Health concludes that in-person voting in Wisconsin's April 7 election by more than 400,000 electors did not produce a detectable surge there in coronavirus cases.

In that report, researchers from Stanford University's Graduate School of Business and the University of Hong Kong's School of Public Health call the Wisconsin election "a large natural experiment" for better understanding the coronavirus transmission risk.

The team found that hospitalizations in Wisconsin for COVID-19 cases "steadily declined throughout April," dropping from a high of 101 on April 3 — four days before the election — to a low of 14 on April 18, according to data from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services.

There were 71 people, that agency reported in mid-May, who did test positive for the coronavirus who had either been poll workers or voted in person in Wisconsin's balloting.

But the study noted that many of those cases involved people who had been exposed to the coronavirus in situations unrelated to voting. Even if they had been infected at voting places, the authors said, the number of cases relative to the overall number of in-person voters suggests that such voting involved a "fatality risk of driving an automobile approximately 140 miles."

This is something a lot of people were warning about back in April/May/June as the states started going into lockdown mode...

Are there more deaths because of the COVID19 lockdown, then deaths from COVID19?

Quote:“At Denver Health and other large hospitals across the metro area, the number of people showing up with cardiac emergencies dropped significantly as the state imposed increasingly strict measures encouraging people to stay at home to slow the virus’ spread,” the article states. This was a verifiable fact. The amount of ambulance usage had gone down immediately after the lockdown orders, and parallel to that, those dying from cardiac problems at home spiked. 

In that period the amount of home-based cardiac arrests doubled, and the deaths from heart attacks exceeded those of Covid-19 cases. 

There are plenty of studies, both good and bad, on all sides of the issue. 

Really seems to come down to when and how is the drug use most effective.

Quote:countries such as China, Turkey, South Korea, India, Morocco, Algeria, and others began to use hydroxychloroquine widely and early in their national pandemic response. Doctors overseas were safely prescribing the drug based on clinical signs and symptoms because widespread testing was not available.

However, the NIH promoted a much different strategy for the United States. The “Fauci Strategy” was to keep early infected patients quarantined at home without treatment until they developed a shortness of breath and had to be admitted to a hospital. Then they would they be given hydroxychloroquine. The Food and Drug Administration cluelessly agreed to this doctrine and it stated in its hydroxychloroquine Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) that “hospitalized patients were likely to have a greater prospect of benefit (compared to ambulatory patients with mild illness).”

In reality just the opposite was true. This was a tragic mistake by Fauci and FDA Commissioner Dr. Stephen Hahn and it was a mistake that would cost the lives of thousands of Americans in the days to come.

At the same time, accumulating data showed remarkable results if hydroxychloroquine were given to patients early, during a seven-day window from the time of first symptom onset. If given during this window, most infections did not progress into the severe, lethal second stage of the disease. Patients still got sick, but they avoided hospitalization or the later transfer to an intensive care unit. In mid-April a high-level memo was sent to the FDA alerting them to the fact that the best use for hydroxychloroquine was for its early use in still ambulatory COVID patients. These patients were quarantined at home but were not short of breath and did not yet require supplemental oxygen and hospitalization.  

Failing to understand that COVID-19 could be a two-stage disease process, the FDA ignored the memo and, as previously mentioned, it withdrew its EUA for hydroxychloroquine based on flawed studies and clinical trials that were applicable only to late-stage COVID patients.
