      Go ahead, enlightened white man. Condescend the experts with your uninformed opinion.

        Meat = nutrients easy mode

        We generally only think it necessary to track stuff when easy mode is deactivated.

          If a dog was sleeping in the driveway behind your car and you were running late for work, would you take the extra time and effort to make sure they get out of the way, or just run them over?

          If not funding the worst atrocities against animals means I need to pay a little extra attention to my diet (something most omnivores should be doing as well), that’s a perfectly fine tradeoff to me.

            “If you eat meat you are a DOG MURDERER”

            People like you are why lots of people hate vegans.

              That’s a pretty wild interpretation of what I said lol.

              The person I replied to was making a case for eating meat out of convenience, and I used an analogy to show that people generally wouldn’t put their convenience over an animal’s welfare.

              People hate vegans because vegans are proof that you don’t need to support industries that profit off of harming animals.

          Vegetables are some of the most nutritionally complete things you can eat.

          You really pulled up into the comment section of a vegan community post, announced you were non vegan, and then meatsplained? Mf’ing hilarious. You did the stereotype of vegans, to vegans.

            Wtf does “yeah hit me” mean then? You invited them to explain, and they’re not wrong. I was a vegan for some time, and being able to eat whatever absolutely is nutrition on easy mode. You can’t get by as a vegan without deliberately subsidizing the nutrients omnivores get casually from hamburgers and stuff without really putting special thought into it.

            Obviously just eating whatever isn’t the most healthy lifestyle, but omnivores typically don’t have to worry about life-threatening nutritional deficiencies.

              Pretending that it is some kind of hard thing to get your friggin b12 has to be a joke. The “hardest” part ist getting your blood checked (every year), which should be a no brainer for every one. But i bet my ass in america this is some kind of super expensive service.

              Omnivores in western countries tend to eat too little fiber and have their own nutrition deficits.

              I’m not even arguing whether a vegan diet is healthier or not, but omnivores shouldn’t assume they’re on easy mode for micronutrients. Everyone should get their blood regularly tested, because waiting for the effects of a vitamin or mineral deficiency to become obvious is not only super unpleasant, but makes the treatment take longer.

          Honestly, I was joking, but you have a good attitude and also a fair point worth engaging with

          But the spirit of the meme is not so much about whether omnivores get the nutrients, but the shared lived experiences of vegans and vegetarians who generally have put a great deal of thought into their diet and then get lectured about it constantly. Lectures often delivered from people who have no idea what they’re talking about, because they simply assume the pepperoni on their pizza offers them a completely optimal nutritional profile
