My friend's brother became a monk a few years back and apparently the current monastery drama is that the hippie monks want all the food to be vegan but the gaybro monks demand more protein for the gainz.

I'm not sure what I expected monastic life to be like in the 2020s, but it wasn't that.
@dan @forestine I'm not sure why this doesn't surprise me.

@dan am curious what monastic order now..

I’ve considered becoming a monk because I want like…fewer problems, but I think humans just have to have problems and will make them if they don’t occur naturally.
@rk this seems accurate

@dan I'm interested to know what other lifestyle choices facilitate the gainz. Our gym specially bans open-toed footwear.

@dan loose fitting brown robes hiding six packs and iron hard glutes sounds very Dan Brown

You think that's crazy? Look up how monasteries worked in the 1520s.

@dan
lol what? are they at least justifying it with the hard work they need to do or are they committing a deadly sin? -

@dan I once spent a summer at a Franciscan monastery and yeah that all sounds pretty consistent with my experience
(they were great guys and I actually seriously considered entering holy orders as an option once my kids were out of the house, but then I met my husband)

@dan vegan protein exists T-T
-
@noodlemaz @dan Recommendations for protein intake have gone up a lot in health-focused circles, to the point that it’s honestly challenging to get from a regular vegan diet especially if you don’t digest beans well. And pea protein powder is IMO less tasty than whey.

@thinkling @dan recommendations from whom, though*. 'Wellness influencers'. Doesn't make it actual good health advice! Most Americans get many times more daily protein than they need, for example.
Nobody needs meat every meal.
There are vegan bodybuilders and they don't scoff a bunch of animal products to get there obviously.*Ok I've seen this less sugar more protein BS from RFK, if that's what you mean. Just like his dangerous an unscientific vaccine rollback, this makes no sense.
