This fact should be stated more loudly, given how many people believe that plant-based is healthy (as opposed to merely ethical).
- gregoryl 4y agoModern diets are exceptionally clean, to the point that even non-plant based diets can result in B12 deficiency.
- cantaloupe 4y agoAre you implying that a plant based diet is unhealthy? If so, please provide some sources to back up the implication. No diet is perfect, but B12 is relatively easy to address in plant based diets, especially non-vegan diets, but also with supplementation in vegan diets. Of course drinking only plant based soda and eating only plant based butter is not healthy, but people who follow a plant based diet typically don’t just eat processed food with “plant based” on the label. They also eat a lot of… plants.
