It's crazy how no one has talked about being better than anyone but your perception of vegans causes you to make up a fake narrative in your head.

So much ignorance in this thread.

Veganism is healthy and the only supplementation required is B12.

Meat consumption is linked with a number of diseases that increase mortality rate. Meat eaters are less healthy and generally dumber as well.


ill just leave that here

Being vegan is one of the best things you can do to reduce your footprint. That's just a fact.




If you have to get 100% of your food imported and shipped cross country so that you don't have to eat meat, you're definitely doing damage to the environment.
I don't know about you but where i live there's nowhere to go to buy local tofu or cashews n shit.

Think people in the tundra shouldn't hunt for food? Go vegan right?

Umm, B12 isn't the only supplement you need on a vegan diet. Iron is another mineral that a vegan diet lacks an abundance of. I know several people who went vegetarian/vegan, and had to quit because they got severely anemic due to an iron deficiency.


"Tofu (1/2 cup): 6.6 mg
Spirulina (1 tsp): 5 mg
Cooked soybeans (1/2 cup): 4.4 mg
Pumpkin seeds (1 ounce): 4.2 mg
Quinoa (4 ounces): 4 mg
Blackstrap molasses (1 tbsp): 4 mg
Tomato paste (4 ounces): 3.9 mg
White beans (1/2 cup) 3.9 mg
Dried apricots (1 cup): 3.5 mg
Cooked spinach (1/2 cup): 3.2 mg
Dried peaches (6 halves): 3.1 mg
Prune juice (8 ounces): 3 mg
Lentils (4 ounces): 3 mg
Peas (1 cup): 2.1 mg

Vegetarian and vegan diets usually contain as much iron as animal-based diets, or more; vegan diets generally contain more iron than vegetarian ones because dairy products contain very little. There are concerns about the bioavailability of iron from plant foods, assumed by some researchers to be around 5–15 percent compared to 18 percent from a nonvegetarian diet.[112] Iron deficiency anaemia is found as often in nonvegetarians as in vegetarians, though studies have shown vegetarians' iron stores to be lower.

Lol what a joke. Being vegan isn't about doing no harm. It's about doing as small amount of harm as you can. Factory farming is by and large one of the hugest contributors to climate change, moreso than every form of transportation combined. By being vegan you do not contribute to that.
So your argument is "you can't completely save the planet so you might as well do absolutely nothing"? Do you understand how illogical that is? Sorry but turning the lights off when you leave a room or turning the faucet off while you're lathering your handsoap doesn't cut it.
