I actually tried vegan. I lasted less than 2 weeks. I believe you that a plant based diet can be complete but the issue is you need to invest a lot of time and plan out literally every meal. And you need to do it from day one or you will take damage (e.g. calcium loss). A normal diet with meat, by contrast, you will end up getting enough of what you need almost by accident. No planning needed, no fear of a catastrophic mistake.

If people really want vegan to take off then STFU about morals and all that and make some sort of easy-mode meals. I mean like “monday breakfast, monday snack, monday lunch, etc.” so people to lazy or who don’t have the time literally can’t screw it up.
