Al Jefferson is Vegan!

[MVP]

I worked with few vegan females. At one conference hosts served the most amazing roast beef ever. I went to the buffet twice to repeat it as it was so delicious. Than one of my vegan coworkers sits nearby and asks me - "So I see you enjoying this disgusting piece of carcass". I answered - "absolutely, you want some to try"?... to which she just walked away with sour face... probably deep inside she wanted it so badly...lol.

Certainly not everyone. If you eat wide variety of vegetables, fruits, nuts, fish and dairy you really do not need any supplements. You are missing the point though...We evolved to be omnivirous... the fact that our bodies can't make Vit B12 without animal origin protein is pointing towards right diet for humans. Vegan diet is not the one.

Vegans can drink almond milk or coconut milk. Either has enough Vitamin B12 in one cup for the day based on the RDA.

Yes, if it is fortified with Vit B12. There is no Vit B12 in almonds or coconuts or any other non animal origin food source. They as well eat Vit B12 fortified cereal, granola bars and so on.

84% who abandon vegan diet must find it not that easy huh?

Easy to supplement. It might not be easy to stick to. So is any strict diet. I am sure more people have vowed to give up certain things like alcohol, sugar and lots of other things from their diet and quit. Most people quite 100s of different diets and meal plans.

It still is an invalid argument against it.

The standard diet is very supplemented. It is even more so with athletes that supplement a lot. You can quote b12 as something you need and its the only thing. It is also very easy to get in supplements. A lot of foods are fotified with it from vegan sources. Just like a large chunk of your other foods are fortified with things that are good for you. You eat lots of fortified food because most people dont get enough of many essential food items.

We evolved to eat anything that is what humans are. We can eat lots of things and survive. Being more healthy? That is debatable. Its pretty easy to be very healthy with being someone who eats meat, is vegetarian or vegan. That is fact.

You are still missing main point - Evolution. We did not evolve to eat vegan. It's not healthy.

Most of the vegetarians I know rarely talk about it. Most of them didnt really like to eat meat which made it easy for them to give up.

Loud vegans, vegetarians and meat eaters are all equally obnoxious. I dont really care what you eat or how you eat, nor do I want your opinions on my eating habits.

It is healthy. You can claim evolution but as long as people eat properly they can be very very healthy as a Vegan. Yes they have to monitor what they eat just like everyone else does to be healthy.

You are missing the point in the fact that eating a vegan diet has been scientifically shown to be healthy.

The evolution argument is silly and unfounded.

We can eat lots of things and survive.

Any people forced to survive in wilderness depend on animal sources of protein. Be it in jungle, tundra, or mountains. You can survive few weeks without it but eventually if we talking months or longer your body will not do well.
