    I mean we are a species have deficiencies without supplements if having a full vegan diet, how can you say we don’t need animal products when not using them causes our body problems?

      The only supplement needed on a plant based diet is B12, which is very easy to get.
      Meat eaters also supplement B12, it’s just that the animals are fed the supplements before you eat them.

      Do you also reject all other modern human inventions?

          may

          You gotta make sure any diet you eat is healthy, of course, thriving on a plant based diet is easily achievable.

          Plenty of people with meat-filled diets experience deficiencies all the time so eating meat also may lead to nutritional deficiencies.

            Oh, of course, and tbh I kinda agree with a lot of what vegans have to say but I also know that tbh most people are not going to go vegan.

            I know you probably think I am sitting here eating a steak now and that I only want to eat meat at this point but not really, I am actively trying to reduce meat in general in my diet and replace it with more veggies both for health and moral reasons. I can also think that (most) farms should absolutely treat animals better before slaughter. I can also agree that there are some animal products that are just unethical imo like veal or any baby animal used for food, or say a Foie gras.

            But I also know that I am unlikely to cut ALL meat out of my diet, and I can also find the slaughter of far older animals to be less morally unjust, I mean I am ok with people taking what ever body part from me when I die, it’s why I am an organ donor, I would like to still be useful somehow after death.
