> I don't get why people say you need meat and dairy for a "balanced diet" when it's already balanced without it

Because the meat and dairy industry spends billions of dollars trying to promote that thinking.

When was the last time you heard anything from the "corn and soy industry" ?

>Does anyone with experience have tips/recommendations/recipes/products for ditching dairy and eggs from my diet?

What worked for me is just simply not eating them. After I stopped eating meat, milk, cheese, eggs, etc, eventually I just didn't even want them anymore. They don't register as "food" to me now, which is also what happened when I gave up processed foods. Your brain adapts to what you give it, so if you stop giving it that stuff, it'll eventually say "fuck it, let's just focus on those other things then."

But I gotta say, I hate when people think veganism just about the cruel treatment of animals. In all the research I've done, I've come to the conclusion that animal products are not good for humans to eat, and it's scary how much money gets spent to try to make you think it is. Most studies about the benefits of dairy are funded and overseen by the dairy industry themselves. The meat industry spends billions of dollars a year on advertisemen. As meat consumption goes up around the world, so does heart disease, diabetes, obesity, arteriosclerosis, osteoperosis, etc. Best thing to do is just jump out of that trap, eat healthy plant-based foods, and hope other people follow along. You'll see on this board most people will just get mad about it though

>that feel when the world is full of corruption

Why would you need more than one in this sample? If someone exists who eats entirely plants (in this case almost entirely fruit) and gets all the vitamins and minerals he needs in the perfect levels, that's proof that a plant-based diet can be completely balanced on its own. This is like you're telling me elephants don't exist, and then when I show you an elephant you say "they still don't exist, you have to show me more elephants!"

The fact remains that a plant-based can already be a "balanced diet" all its own. Meat is unneccessary and in many ways harmful. If you want to eat it, go ahead and eat it, but don't pretend we're SUPPOSED to be eating it and that proper human diets are weird and unnatural. Stop letting the meat industry brainwash you into thinking you have to eat meat or else you'll die of malnutrition

You're right, athletes require BETTER nutrition because they actually use their bodies. You can eat your protein and fat diet and sit on your ass all day posting on /ck/ but to be a healthy, fit human being you need carbohydrates. You can't say a marathon and endurance athlete has short bursts of energy either. Nobody runs a marathon after eating a bunch of fat

So now you've brought your argument down to "fuck you, I don't care if you're right, I like meat." I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on this matter

>Vegans are a minority. One that doesn't shut the fuck up, but a minority nonetheless.

You types need to stop with this "vegans make too much noise" nonsense. If someone even makes you aware that they're a vegan, you consider it obnoxious and get deeply offended for some reason. You're right that vegans are a minority, and one reason they are is because the meat industry won't shut the fuck up and pressing their views on the general population from birth til death

>people shouldn't know other diets exist, they should just do what I like! When vegans/vegetarians make you aware of their existence in any way, they're being PREACHY and FORCING THEIR VIEWS ON YOU! When the meat industy spends billions of dollars to tell me what to eat, that's totally fine because I'm used to it already!

Jesus, man. You people have a victim complex.
