How long do you suppose vegans could go before they die from lack of protein? A month? A year? 10 years?

  They will not literally die but they will not be healthy at all, many of them will likely live less than non-vegans. It is a dangerous lifestyle motivated by poor reasoning.

    Have you ever met a vegan?
    • Kaveren 7y ago
      Judging by your reply I think I have now.

        I'm not a vegan, if that's what you're asking: I'm vegetarian. But I assure you that vegans are not sickly due to protein deficiencies; they simply get it from other places.

    Okay, so not death. But other health issues? Can you point me to a relevant meta-analysis on PubMed or something? Because all I'm seeing from national dietetic organizations is support for the diet. > A healthy vegan diet can meet all your nutrient needs at any stage of life including when you are pregnant, breastfeeding or for older adults. https://www.dietitians.ca/Downloads/Factsheets/Guidlines-for-Vegans.aspx https://www.dietitians.ca/Downloads/Factsheets/Guidlines-for...
