You don't need any meat. There's no health benefit from meat you can't get from plants, and plenty of things in meat that are horrible for your health.

- ajanuary 10y agoI know this isn't the point you were making, but I wanted to take the opportunity to do a PSA. While it's true you don't need any meat, it's not true you can get everything you need from an unsupplimented vegan diet (more accurately, it's incredibly hard). If you're looking at a vegan diet, consider researching supplements such as for B12. If you're lazy and in the UK, Holland and Barret sell a single tablet supplement designed for a vegan diet (just ignore all of the other bollocks they sell in there)
- isaac_is_goat 10y agoEveryone should be conscious of B12 and be supplementing. It's dirt cheap, and crucial to proper brain function. Last time I checked something like 40% of Americans are deficient or borderline deficient but less than 3% are vegan. Humans don't get B12 from dirty water and trace amounts of dirt on vegetables like we used to thousands of years ago and a lot of people aren't getting enough from the meat they are eating. B12 from meat is usually coming by proxy through the animal because farmers typically supplement the animals with it too. B12 is an issue for everyone.
