    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.
