Comment on Vegan dies from starvation
masterofballs@exploding-heads.com 1 year agoPlease tell me which of these you wouldn’t feasibly get through a well balanced plant based diet?
See, the onus is on you. You want to come up with a diet that has never in the history of the human race been used to create and maintain a society. You need to come up with a diet plan that includes all of the nutrients I mentioned in ample amounts. Present it to us so we can laugh at it and point out it’s flaws. We know diets that include meat work. Because those diets are the reason you are here.
fortified foods
Like dog food?
vitamin C greatly enhances absorption of non-heme iron
Iron is one of the biggest issues with plant based diets in women. Especially those giving birth. My wife’s own nurse told us a story after my wife gave birth. How they were trying to get the iron levels to rize in a woman who lost lots of blood but would not take a blood transfusion (for religious reasons). They tried supplements, spinach. Didn’t work. Hours after eating liver her iron levels went right up where they needed to be.
Iron absorption is trash in plants. A few people do have the ability to absort more iron or vitamin A from plants but many can’t at all. Thats why you see vegan children all having those huge glasses. Their eyes went to shit from no nutrition.

I’m not coming up with anything. I saw that the majority of dieticians agree that with proper planning, a plant based diet is healthy, so I put the time into planning a diet that works for me. There’s nothing on your list that I’m not getting from non-animal sources.
Here’s a debunk of the list with sources: youtu.be/xhEstYpyhvc.
Dog food? Lol. Breakfast cereals, plant milks and breads are examples of fortified foods.
Here’s a study to back up what I said about iron absorption. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/6940487/
Feel free to link a study attributing vegan diets and glasses if you would like to back up your anecdotal claim.

That was not a debunking in the least. That was a 19 minute youtube advertisement for vegan supplements. It completely ignores the countless vegans who tried for years and ended up with severe health problems because abortion rate Varies from person to person. ESPECIALLY VITAMIN A
You can eat dog food and stuff you mouth with supplements all you want i’m gonna enjoy, steak fix eggs and enjoy being healthy strong, fertile and happy.
Feel free to show me a society that produces healthy fertile offspring on a strict vegan diet. There aren’t enough long term fertile vegans to study because like 80% of vegans give up. There are almost no multi generational vegans

You can get plenty of beta-carotine as well as preformed vitamin A on a plant based diet: www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/vitamin-a/.
Your 80% statistic has also been debunked. The number includes vegetarians, and the number one motivation cited was health. Saying people quit diets is not exactly groundbreaking news.
Anyway, I’ll also enjoy being healthy, strong, fertile and happy while also being vegan.

Not true for all people period end of story as peer reviewed papers show. I don’t get why you npc’s keep repeating yourself without resolving points.
