People say that like forever. And those "vegan cultists" we told that 3 decades ago (and we were waiting for them to die of malnutrition) are still healthy and happy while the average supermarket-joe got fat and unhappy or is long dead by now.

I'm no vegan btw. but why would i argue with science? Just because we evolved to be able to eat nearly everything doesn't mean we should. We could probably survive a good while on just eating hoofs or tree bark. Doesn't mean we should include it in our diet.

Science says meat contains proteins and nutrients that are incredibly difficult to get and get enough of in plants to live well.

In case you were unaware, it was the fact that we became meat-eating omnivores that is the REASON we evolved to become the intelligent creatures we are. Do vegans want to de-evolve into basic, stupid creatures? Seems that way.

I swear, people like you do nothing but spread misinformation and I'm fucking sick of it. Veganism is a laughable, horrible, unsafe, dangerous cult and you actually defend it.

Science doesn't say we need meat. Also very specially not the crappy processed toxic waste the majority consumes as "meat".

But ever tried a diet only existing of plants/fruits OR meat? Guess on which you'd live longer? Exactly.

And again, no vegan here. Just also sick of this super old "but science says we need meat".

WE.

NEED.

BOTH.

YOU.

UNEDUCATED.

TWATWAFFLE.

"Lasting longer" on plants means we get the nutrition we need to barely continuously function on plants. That's like pushing around a car and claiming it still works. Our cognitive abilities and our core strength both rely on animal meat to run at their full capacity. And even with just plants, our health slowly deteriorates to the point where even that isn't enough any more. Look up the vast number of people online who have recanted their vegan vows because of severe health issues. People who say they're pure vegan and don't have issues are either vegetarian (which an added strong diet of eggs is a vast improvement over a pure vegan diet though not perfect) and/or cheat on their diet (which is much more likely).

You can't argue against science. It's pathetic. You're like the fucking flat earthers and god-lovers. Still clinging to an obsolete, bullshit, laughable belief in fucking 2024 when we should all be together in understanding how the world fucking works.

Get over yourself.

Who needs to get over whom? Probably the ad-hominem hero. Talking about science but behaving like an agitated chimp. Go work less and chill more 😁

I prefer civilized discussion, so... Have a nice life.
