/veg/

Becoming vegetarian is far easier than it's made out to be, honestly, you're doing better for the world and yourself. I personally made the change for moral reasons but I know this isn't the place to discuss that.

Yeah studies like this one , right? Where you compare vegans, a group of people who are generally more informed about nutrition and healthy lifestyle obviously since they're very conscious about what they eat, to your everyday people who don't know what macros mean let alone micros, eat mcdonalds for dinner and finish their day with wendys?

Your out of context cherry picking studies just make you seem laughable

and none of those studies have controlled for omnivores that actually pay attention to what they eat and are the same BMI as their vegan participants

of course the fatass who lives on big macs and fries is going to have heart disease while the vegan who painstakingly prepares xyr's own meals isn't

>What'd you Vegs eat today?
Scoops, milk, pancakes, some left over beans, preworkout, and I'll probably be eating pizza and maybe some eggs before bed.

You make a good point there. Truth be told it's hard to make a solid conclusion since we can't really use people like Guinea pigs. But it is hard to deny the link between consuming animals and heart diseases.

And even if we ignore the health implications of eating meat you definitely have to acknowledge the environmental effects of trying to feed a planet of humans with such an unsustainable food source

>But it is hard to deny the link between consuming animals and heart diseases.
It's not, it has been studies that if you eat properly, eating meat doesn't have any effect in that regard at all. It's when you eat shit processed meat (that's majority of people) that it's a problem. I don't have links because I haven't saved them but if you really care and are a vegan and go around telling people what's healthier than what, you should have them so go search them

>have to acknowledge the environmental effects of trying to feed a planet of humans with such an unsustainable food source
I don't give a shit about any of this

I realize these pictures aren't an effective way to display a study but I figured no one would click on links if I presented them. There are many studies that show a link between all sorts of heart related diseases. This disregards how the meat was prepared, organic or gmo infested garbage. Whatever. Consuming large amounts of animal products is not good for your health

Really, the only excuse for not making the change you can't argue with is a matter of taste. But that's a shitty argument anyway and totally subjective

Literally every single time a group goes to climb Everest it's guaranteed at least 1 person won't be making it back.

In this case the person was a vegan and fit collectively lost their shit and blamed it on the diet.

fucking idiot americans in this thread with their black or white way of thought.
Why must you eat HUGE amounts of meat OR huge amount of vegs and cut meat off completely?
Just eat meat once a week,fish once a week and legumes vegetables and cereals on the rest of the days.its more ecologically viable,healthier and easier.
Come to the mediterranean,we'll teach you fatties to eat.
