Amen. Bet my ass that most people dying of heart attack are in fact not vegan. On the other hand i would like to know how many vegans are suffering from malnutrition. Some morons will.

Nebelneik was a German youtuber who revealed he was vegan fir 2 years and didn't know how to cook and also didn't have time.

Well, all he eat was beans in a can. The most british thing I have ever heard. He did suffer from malnutrition.

But I feel like too many people suffer partly from malnutrition in some way even tho they eat meat.

Omg, thanks. I don't know why I am forgetting much about language rules.

The price to pay for learning constant new programming languages

That's incredibly sad.

This is exactly the kind of attitude that nullifies a potential reduction in ischemic heart disease with dietary deficiencies like B12. From what I could find, there are many potential health benefits from a vegan diet (lacto-ovo-vegetarian diets even more so) and yet I found a study that seems to show no significant difference in mortality rates between vegetarians and non-vegetarians.

Look, of course getting the right nutrition is an important part of your diet. Where or when do you learn this? I do not remember this being a big part of my education. Instead it was part of becoming a vegan because everyone was like "NOO! It is dangerous!!!", so i guess thanks to that i now know much more and get my blood checked regularly. My point is: People are already hurting themselves by eating junk, eating not enough vegetables and fruits and too much highly prpcessed meats. Are they warned (like vegans are)? Not really, but why?

wait being vegan doesnt make you immortal????

its possible.

and you can do a technically vegan diet of potato chips and onion rings. or only bread and oil. can get pretty heavy on that.

but like... way harder.

the only way meat stops malnutrition is in a traditional diet that includes organ meats. nobody eats those on purpose nowadays.

Very few people do, that's certainly true.

I hunt for a large percentage of the meat I consume, and I use every part of the animal I can. Can't eat hide, horns, hooves, or feathers, and nuero tissue is inadvisable. But nearly everything else gets used in my house, including organs and bones.

I know that always pisses me off. knew this guy once who ate a very unhealthily meat centric diet, but be only are grocery store ground and prime cuts, so he kept having nutritional deficiencies and it was really frustrating to help him, because, like, yes, just eat a god damn vegetableand you can stay out of the ER, but you dont even need to do that if you just eat more parts of the fucking cow!

and he wouldn't.
