Meat Eating v Plant-Based (video, balanced spiritual take in my opinion)

[Patrick]

Oh I agree Diana. The whole thing about B12 pills not being a requirement is exactly a good example of why I say they need to inform themselves properly.

It's not just a change in diet, it's a change of the whole way of life.

Far from me the idea of scaring people. It is simply because I have seen too many people watching documentary on factory farming and, understandably, switching directly from the SAD to vegan for a couple years to just revert back and then bad mouth veganism and start advocating that you can only be healthy with vegetarianism or even meat eating.

If they had taken the time to educate themselves properly they would not have faced those issues.

The issue is not with stopping the consumption of any animal products, the issue is trying to continue the same way of life as they had on the SAD but without any animal products. In my opinion, the health issues they encounter is not even related to B12, because so many meat replacement products out there already have added B12 and these people will normally consume a lot of that stuff.

I think it might be related to focusing too much on proteins. We need so much less than people think (another good reason to properly educate oneself).
