I’m pretty sure we don’t know that. A 400lb person will probably be healthier a year from now if they eat 1500 calories of MacDonald’s a day vs. 4000 cals of “home-cooked plant-based foods”.
- pigeonhole123 4y agoVeganism is also a relatively new trend, the concept apparently didn’t exist until the 60s. I’m sure Beyond Meat etc would love for this to be “common sense” though
- jseban 4y agoYeah plant based diets makes it even more complex and less understood, and they have many obvious big downsides that are not really addressed. Plant based diets are "good" if you are having issues with overeating/overweight and/or a diet lacking vegetables. I guess that's a lot of people, but definitely not everyone.
- lasfallas 4y agoMore complex? Less understood? Many obvious big downsides not really addressed? You have no idea what you're talking about obviously, just spreading fud.
- shafyy 4y agoI think it's clear that even though beyond meat is plant-based, it's not healthy. Note that I said balanced plant-based diet.
- mjburgess 4y agoSomewhat ironically close to my present diet: one fatty meal a day, c. 6pm of c. 1,300 cals -- and a snack c. 9pm of c. 200 cals. I switched to this because my usual post-winter diet wasn't effective, and this is.
- shafyy 4y agoOk yes there is nunance in everything. But I said a balanced plant-based diet. The balanced is key. In my book, if you eat 4000 cals a day of plant-based meal, either you have a huge stomach volume or you're not eating balanced.
