Why do you believe that almost every vegan is malnourished? How do you know who is vegan, and how do you know who is malnourished? Are you basing this off of anecdotes you've read of people eating plant-based and then feeling unhealthy? If so, that's not very reliable info.
On the other hand, here is every large nutrition institute around the world agreeing that veganism can be totally healthy for all stages of life: https://youaretheirvoice.com/pages/the-clear-consensus https://youaretheirvoice.com/pages/the-clear-consensus
- wyager 5y ago> How do you know who is vegan They’ll usually tell you pretty quickly. > here is every large nutrition institute around the world Why would you ever trust a “large nutrition institute”? Who is the kind of person who would come to power at a place like that? Certainly not someone who is dispassionately interested in promoting human health. It’s mostly vegans, seventh day adventists, and other dietary-religious groups. When has a “large nutrition institute” ever released dietary advice that stood the test of time?
- ElijahLynn 5y agoMost vegans I know do not tell anyone. The number of closet, covert vegans is significantly higher than the overt, "preachy" vegans.
- sweetheart 5y agoIf you're saying they are unreliable as source, the onus is on you to say why. You just posed some questions without actually stating anything, made an assumption with no evidence ("Certainly not someone who is dispassionately interested in promoting human health", "It’s mostly vegans, seventh day adventists, and other dietary-religious groups.") So, do you actually have any sources on why we shouldn't trust them?
- wyager 5y agoThis is an HN comment thread, not a scientific paper. There’s no “onus” on me to do anything, and if there were, it certainly wouldn’t be up to you who got to make comments without fulfilling some evidentiary ritual.
