Though, you can see right there on the graph, that comparison relies on lacto-ovo vegetarians eating a heck of a lot of dairy. Also: > However, a newly converted vegetarian who replaces every 50g of beef she usually eats with 100g of kale would soon be famished. C'mon. The only world in which the idea of someone doing that is anything but absurd and/or tragic is one of motivated hypotheticals. Replacing your primary source of protein and fat with a pile of leaves is not vegetarian eating; it's disordered eating. They do it again right at the end, with the well-poisoning phrase, "die-hard leaf-eaters." Allow me to suggest that, if that's what you think eating vegan is about, you won't last long on the 2/3 vegan diet, either. For goodness sake, at least throw some beans or a potato or something in so you're not spending four days a week being hangry all the time. Maybe even treat yourself to a burrito; at Chipotle the meat and dairy free ones are still something like 1000 calories apiece. And they'll put some leaves in it, if you like, free of charge. Multiple kinds of leaves.
