The best diet for health is a high fat, high protein, low carb diet. If you're going to be eating grains all day you might as well shoot yourself right now.

It also depends on the quality of meat. Yeah you can have issues eating fatty meat everyday that was made on some production farm. If you have organic veggies and meat, it's superior than veggies alone. Don't know why you guys even would argue against this.

The two veggie foodcarts that take the customers off McD and the Steak House down the street tell an other story. You can practically make everything into a veggie variant right now.
There was an experiment in the BBC where they asked 100 UK Soldiers to tell them which sauce is more spicey (and gave them three to test). But the real test was, that the saussage wasn't pork. It was a bastardization made out of veggie ingredients. Only about 30% of the soldiers called it. 30%.

A lot of vegans have mental health problems, but honestly I think that's because a lot are the type of people that are quite sensitive and impassioned, and once you take the 'red pill' and realise how fucked up animal agriculture is - to the tune of trillions of beings being tortured for taste - it's really difficult to maintain an upbeat respect for the social order.

I think the end goal is to have fewer numbers, yeah. Breed fewer and fewer as demand decreases. I don't see that as a bad thing. Also non-existence would be a blessing for many farm animals. If you want to get woke on this shit watch 'Earthlings'

>Why
Because it is anon. Veganism is trash, you're disallowed to consume complete proteins in a state that's easily consumed by your body. Veganism also requires supplementation like b12, omega 3s, and complete proteins.
>Vegetarians
Depends on what type of vegetarian you are, because you could be a pescetarian/semi- vegetarian with the consumption of both fish and egg and/or milk. Cool, good for you, that's a good diet because you're including meat. If you don't do fish, well you have a deficiency and now you have to supplement up because your diet doesn't allow you to consume something necessary. No eggs, ok, you have to supplement your diet further because you're not allowed to eat things that contain nutrition that is beneficial for you.

Anon, stop being a dum dum. You're making your body inefficient compared to what it could be for going with some fad diet. Sorry faggot, I'm going to eat red meat, white meat, fish, eggs, milk, veggies, nuts, and fruits to my heart content. I don't need to take fish oils or multivitamins.
