> The health benefits of a whole food plant based diet are astonishing No. The health benefits of a balanced diet is astonishing. Vegan diets are just as bad for humans as meatatarian diets. > and the whole missing vitamin mineral thing is trivially taken care of. It isn't. > Becoming vegan will lead to immediate and long term health benefits. No it won't. Having a balanced diet will. That's why all the oldest people are omnivores. Humans are built to be omnivores. A vegan diet is a terrible diet for humans. That's why it has to be augmented so much. The cult of veganism has to be countered just like any other cult.

There is so much to unpack and criticize here, but just for fun, i'll bite on this one: >> and the whole missing vitamin mineral thing is trivially taken care of. >It isn't. I'm dead serious when I say that if you can demonstrate this, you'll be handed a PHd on a platter. Possibly a Nobel prize. Get writing! PS sorry can't resist, you'll get another Nobel for publishing how humans are 'built to be...'. And the typical vegan diet is terrible. A whole food plant based diet is fundamentally different - they only share the fact that they are based on non animal products

  It's so funny that every topic on veganism, you are always to be found. > I'm dead serious when I say that if you can demonstrate this, you'll be handed a PHd on a platter. Possibly a Nobel prize. Are you dead serious? > PS sorry can't resist, you'll get another Nobel for publishing how humans are 'built to be...'. Well considering we aren't obligate carnivores and we aren't obligate herbivores, I wonder what we are? Eating meat, just like eating vegetables, fruits, etc made us who we are. We are actually built by our food consumption evolutionarily speaking. https://www.nature.com/articles/nature16990.epdf https://www.nature.com/articles/nature16990.epdf > And the typical vegan diet is terrible. Yes. Because it's not ones humans are designed for. > A whole food plant based diet is fundamentally different - they only share the fact that they are based on non animal products Yikes. That just sounds like a rebranding of a terrible idea. Kind of like how "neo-nazis" rebranded to alt-right. Balanced diet including meat, veggies, etc > vegan/whole food diet. Human society has proven this to be true. The dominant human society is the balanced diet society. No vegan society nor meat-only society truly exists.
