This is just cracking me up.....as if the majority of ominvores on their cancer inducing artery busting western diet of processed gunk sit down and plan their meals, lol. |
No they don't plan their meals. And they're hideously unhealthy for it. Do you really want the same for new vegans?
Say someone on your "cancer-inducing artery-busting omnivorous diet of processed gunk" becomes vegan without planning what they're going to eat.
Odds are they just end up eating a cancer-inducing artery-busting
vegan diet of processed gunk instead. Then they get just as sick from a fat-rich and sugar-rich diet as the average westerner.
And despite your ridicule, the average omnivore
does obtain some vitamins and minerals almost exclusively from meat, fish, eggs and dairy (B12 is a big one).
If they become vegan, and don't figure out how to meet those needs in a vegan context, they risk malnourishment (B12 is, again, particularly insidious because it takes a long time to show).
It is irresponsible and dangerous to mocking the importance of nutrition in a vegan diet (or any other). I find it disturbing that you're more interested in scoring cheap points than in people's health.
P.S. I added back in the important bit of text that you conveniently forgot when you quoted me (in bold).
