While it's entirely possible to replenish and provide all the essential proteins and fatty acids in a healthy, balanced diet without the consumption of meat, there's a lot more science involved. So if someone really wants to be a healthy vegan, it means Science Diet. Supplements, vitamins, carefully planned meals, etc. which is a lot more trouble and a lot more expensive than the alternative, which is simply consuming less meat or minimal meat, sourced from natural, clean, non feed lot/animal factory sources, preferably wild. But, I know it's an ethical/religious thing, so people are free to do what they want, just as there are plenty of people who live off unhealthy diets consisting primarily of processed foods, processed meats, sickly animals full of artificial hormones, etc. with minimal nutritional value that cause more harm to the human body than benefit. After experimenting with a vegetarian diet for a year, I found myself eventually resorting to eating textured vegetable protein (fake meat) which is worse than eating real meat from clean, non-processed sources. Experiment ended. On the upside, I averaged about 5 lbs less than I did on my normal diet and it was a healthy weight loss, not a sickly one. Better solution: eat less meat and only quality meat from good, clean sources. |
I live off that processed food diet... unfortunatly thats how it is for a college student with no money or time. :(
