Humans don't need meat

Yes, some of us do. Not everyone’s body is made to thrive on a vegan diet. Many of us are medically unable to not eat meat.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Interesting. What sort of medical conditions require eating meat?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

I have IBS, GERD, anemia, & food allergies. I’ve seen medical professionals over the years and their recommendation is to eat anything & everything I can that won’t make me sick. I pretty much eat the same thing nearly everyday & most vegan protein sources make me sick.

That sucks and is a pretty common "gotcha" to justify the continued mistreatment and murder of animals. Lucky for you you were born the right kind of animal whose comfort and life in general somehow out weighs your dinner's.

You think they are using their medical condition to “gotcha” you?

That’s just sad dude.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

It is sad, and vegan haters do it all the time.

[-] [email protected] -2 points 1 week ago

Probably ones that need protein

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

From a nutrients stand point you can get all that from non meat sources.

What has protein in it, other than nuts and beans?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Why are nuts and beans disqualified from being protein sources?

[-] [email protected] -1 points 6 days ago

Holy strawman Batman!

I didn't say they were. I'm asking what else is a source of it.

Nut allergies are a real thing that can kill people though

[-] [email protected] -1 points 1 week ago

Nut allergies can indeed kill people. It's just so weird that whenever meat eating comes up it's always met with these same "arguments". You can eat whatever you want. I can't change someone's mind with facts or answers to questions or anything when that person doesn't want facts or answers. If you can know how animals are mistreated for you to have a burger or eggs and live with yourself, your diet is the least of your problems.

So... Nothing then? Jesus, i was just curious. If you want to argue about nothing, go do it somewhere else.

Why are you being an asshole about such a simple thing?

[-] [email protected] -1 points 1 week ago

Because of the other thousand times I've had this discussion in good faith.

[-] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

So because people other than you don't know something you argue with them? The fuck?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

This makes an excellent argument for pursuing lab-grown meat. I do just fine on plant-based meat alternatives and traditional plant-based proteins (e.g. beans). But some people have allergies or other conditions that make this more difficult.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

I’m all for lab grown meat as well and hope it’s affordable & safe within my lifetime.
