I have first hand experience with someone in my immediate family who was unable to sustain a vegan diet. She became anemic and was ill 6 to 10 times a year. Iron supplements did help, but only enough to bring levels up to the lower bounds of normal. This went on for years. After reintroducing some amount of animal protein, her health and iron levels improved dramatically.
If you want to change someone's mind you could be less condescending. Right now, you are acting like the arrogant vegan stereotype. Do better.
- uxcolumbo 4y agoSorry, I didn’t mean to be condescending. Just sharing my sources. I merely replied to your statement that a plant based is not healthy and pointing to PCRM. How is that condescending? Of course there are edge cases, ie if someone has medical issues and can’t survive without meat and nothing else works then that’s a different matter.

Which bits were condescending to you? So I can adjust my wording and not come across condescending. Could it be that you have a strong bias against folks who are vegan because some have a holier than though attitude? And you apply that bias towards me? Curious to know your answers to my other questions, why you regard other sentient beings as tools and property and what gives us the right to enslave and kill those beings if our survival doesn’t depend on it.
