My point is that people who avoid entire food groups, or foods that have one particular nutrient usually have very strange reasons to do so, that border on the metaphysical and are routinely misguided. Like the carnivore diet, or the variou

Will you listen to yourself speak for a moment? What you are saying is completely mad! We are "entirely ill-adapted to digesting plant material"? The majority of the food eaten by every human culture throughout history consisted o

Killing an animal for meat is not cruelty. We eat meat. It comes from animals. The alternative is to eat the meat while the animal is alive, which is how it is normally done in the natural world. That is cruelty. A cruelty that humans do no

> FYI, the definition of suffering is: "to endure death, pain, or distress". So if you kill an animal, it will suffer. Really? According to whom? According to you who came up with it just now, so you can justify moving the goal

I don't understand what you're trying to say because the derision in your comment is taking up all the space that would normally be dedicated to clarity.

If you eat only potatoes you will only ingest the nutrients found in potatoes so you will risk becoming deficient in all other nutrients, not found in potatoes. I don't know what those are, but for example you'd risk running out o

Yeah, maybe. That could be the reason, or an additional reason. I think if I had to eat only one kind of food that I really like (not cheese because there's such a huge variety that it wouldn't really count as "one") I c
