A carnist lemmy world instance admin has stepped in and meatsplained to the mods while restoring comments that violated the community's rules. They deleted comments that they did not agree with, citing 'misinformation', and threatened to demod the mods if those comments were removed again. The comments were deleted and the admin was banned from the community as per violating the rules of the community, that was until they unbanned themselves (admin abuse) and unmodded two of the moderators because of "promoting harmfull actions against pets".
As far as it stands, if the lemmy world community wasn't already not a safe vegan place for you (it really wasn't) it most certainly isn't now as carnists (lemmy world instance admin) currently mod it.
I suggest any vegan who wants a safe and welcoming space to come and interact with vegantheoryclub.org. Sorry for any inconvienance that this may have caused. I am deeply upset at the admins actions today and don't condone them whatsoever.
We live in a day where a healthy diet can be fully synthesized, even for a human. I think the claim that a cat cannot flourish under one requires strict scrutiny and proper links to scientific articles demonstrating this finding.
edit: Because we do have evidence indicating such a diet is not harmful, so evidence that disputes this would need to exist.

edit2: Another thing that occured to me that may help shed light on this: Humans have to eat food in order to survive, yes?
No, actually. We can hook you up to an IV and keep you alive for as long as we need by pumping the necessary nutrients directly into your bloodstream, bypassing your digestive tract altogether. We call this intravenous feeding.
I had to be on IV feeding for a month last year and it felt like I was starving because I wasn't getting any calories. I lost 20 kg in 2 weeks, despite the fact I was confined to a bed 24 hours.
What were you in for? Sounds to me like someone was pinching pennies on you, since there's nothing stopping them from including the sugars and aminos your body needs.
Or maybe they thought you were overweight or something, but I'd think that'd be malpractice.
Gallstones turned into sepsis and pancreatitis
Yikes, didn't know gallstones could do that. Glad you made it, sepsis is life threatening.
I went to the ER and the doctor said "You are dying," which I took as a bad sign.
Yes, that would not be good news.
I wonder if that's why you lost so much weight. Sepsis is bacteria in your bloodstream, and I can see pumping sugars into someone's bloodstream when it has bacteria present as being a bad idea. 2 weeks to eliminate the infection sounds like a long time though, unless they ran into issues with unexpected antibiotic resistance.
