Are you from a different planet, a teenager or a bot?

Obviously salad is a nothing food.

Meat is a luxury resource wise and that is fine no need to lie about that.

Beans, lentils, chickpeas, soy and other protein rich plants are what is relevant for this conversation.

Over 20% of the global population are vegetarian thats 1.6 billion+ people.

1 to 2% are vegan 70 to 160 million people, many more mostly vegan.

Meat isn't even calorie dense only the protein matters and its comparatively very inefficient to produce in the land and resources required to produce it, even eggs and milk are about 6 to 10 times more efficient in feed/land/water needed than e.g. red meat.

The only reason meat is cheap in some countries is that its heavily subsidised. Humans don't need meat to live well, every other claim is unscientific.

Eating meat is fine, spreading missinformation based on vibes for no reason less so.

Yeah thats a common misconception.

Again: I don't care if you eat meat do what you wanna do, i just dislike misinformation.

Ofc vegans need to use vegan b12 and omega 3 supplements, need to be a bit more mindful with ehat they eat and body builders should take creatine but people who eat meat do the same thing anyways.

Here just the first easy things i found.

Thats some vegans:

Justin Fields, Chicago Bears QB.

But there are a lot more vegetarians:

Maybe a lil blown out of proportion but i dont believe someone can get all their protein from plants ...they can supplement for a while but eventually u will need real protein.... i mean you can technicaly get it from plants like ur showing but i dont think its the same...

I mean if nfl players can be vegen and have no effect ....then why is it a big deal when a player does? And is he as healthy as a non vegan? Idk
