(X - Z) is not necessarily < (Y - Z) for a given individual's choice of X vs Y though. If a vegan is judicious about picking nutritious food, (X - Z) > a lazy junk food-eating person who doesn't understand nutrition, only what tastes good's (Y - Z).
- __MatrixMan__ 3y agoI might be missing something, but the healthy-vs-unhealthy choices axis seems orthogonal here. Vegans and meat eaters both have their fair share of healthy and unhealthy people. The matter at hand is the necessary acreage that they have to dedicate to farming.
- zamnos 3y ago> Vegans and meat eaters both have their fair share of healthy and unhealthy people. I don't take that as a given. Of course there are vegans who are unhealthy, but eating vegan is not straightforwards. You do actually have to do some amount of research to not develop problems eating vegan (B12 deficiency is a common side-effect of yolo eating vegan) and have some idea about nutrition. There is no such requirement to eating whatever. Unless you eat one thing exclusively (like an all-beef-and-only-beef diet), as an omnivore you'll get all the nutrients you need.
