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.
