    Fear porn. Keep eating meat. It’s far more nutrient rich than any of the overly processed vegan garbage. And I know because I was vegan for more than 8yrs.

      Great an astroturfer…

      You’re lying about ever being vegan as if you were you would’ve known that processed vegan food products are not the only alternatives to eating meat as there are pulses, peas, beans, lentils, nuts, seeds and whole grains you can have instead.

      Plant-based meat is actually healthier than processed meat and red meat.

        Nope, I definitely was vegan. And plant based meat is not healthier. What a cope if you believe that nonsense. I would even make my own vegan “chicken” nuggets using seitan. But nothing compares to the number of vitamins attained through a juicy steak. I’m glad I made the change back from being a vegan. A lot more energy throughout the entire day. Eggs are another great source of nourishment.

              Says the person obviously lying about having lower levels of energy despite the fact studies show that vegans are actually healthier.

              A study published last week in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that dietary protein derived from plant sources built muscle just as well as protein from meat sources. However meat also comes with additional components that are harmful to our health, including antibiotic residue, hormones, saturated fat, trans-fats, endotoxins, cholesterol, Neu5Gc, heterocyclic amines and contaminants such as high levels of metals including copper and arsenic. These undesirable elements increase inflammation and promote various diseases thus making meat a less desirable option when building muscle and long term health are considered.

              A plant-based diet consists of exclusively plant foods, including fruit, vegetables, grains, and legumes, and avoids meat, dairy, and eggs. Plant-based foods are full of fiber, rich in vitamins and minerals, free of cholesterol, and low in calories and saturated fat. Eating a variety of these foods provides all the protein, calcium, and other essential nutrients your body needs. It’s important to include a reliable source of vitamin B12 in your diet. You can easily meet your vitamin B12 needs with a daily supplement or fortified foods, such as vitamin B12-fortified breakfast cereals, plant milks, and nutritional yeast. Those who eat a plant-based diet lower their risk for heart disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity, and other health conditions. Research also shows that a plant-based diet can be less expensive that an omnivorous diet.

        I think you should give them the benefit of the doubt in this instance – they could be dumb as a rock.

      Nothing more nutritious than slop. Keep stuffing your face with hamburger

          Lies again, the vast majority of meat is factory farmed.

          The exceptional rare “local farms” do not stop the exploitation and slaughter.

            You do realize that plants are quite sentient, right? They communicate with one another, they feel pain, and even help one another. Trees will use mycelium to talk to one another if one tree needs help they will. So great work trading one sentient suffering for another. Pat yourself on the back for partaking in groupthink and keep feeding the ego that you’re doing any good for the environment.

              Meat requires more plants than directly eating them. So if you really cared about the plants you would go vegan.

              You’re filling out my Carnist bingo sheet proving once again that you were never vegan.

                this isn’t true. most of what is fed to livestock is crop seconds and industrial waste. I don’t eat corncobs or corn stalks, or soy cake. but if I eat a pig that has been fed those, no more plants have been harmed.

                It’s just so hard for your brain to comprehend maybe someone escaped the fear mongering and ego tickling of veganism. Yes, of course I had the lentils, tofu, seitan everything (because wheat gluten use is endless) and everything else. Had to eat throughout the whole day just to feel sustenance. But as said before, most of the foods targeted to vegans are overly processed. And way to ignore the fact that plants are probably crying as they’re ripped from their roots and start releasing toxins as defense mechanism.

                  Ignores the fact meat requires more plants and that plants do not have a central nervous system to process pain.

      overly processed vegan garbage.

      Am not vegan, but your issue here is eating all these “plant-based” ultra-processed food and thinking that’s the only way. Just eat more veggie and mushroom and bean.
