The most bioavailable foods are animal foods. Plant form iron is not even remotely comparable to heme iron.
Heme iron is found only in meat, poultry, seafood, and fish.
Take a iron deficient person and give them plant iron and it will be weeks to never before their iron returns. Feed them a liver and see it spike up in a day.
The same can be said of vitamin A and many other vitamins. A No indigenous society on earth has ever been vegan. Even horses who eat grass sometimes eat birds.
Hong Kong has one of the highest life expectancies on earth and one of the highest meat consumption rates on earth.
Every “Vegan” body builder got their start on whey protein. And are in their 20’s usually. There is no good 50+ year old long term vegan body builders who aren’t on massive amount of steroids and who didn’t get their start on animal protein.
Vegan farming is unsustainable. Animals naturally help the soil become more nutritious.
Vegan foods are terrible for the environment. Mass produced mono crops destroy the soil.
Being a vegan is OK if you want to destroy your body. Pushing it on children is evil because it will limit their growth.
I disagree entirely with all your claims including your original. People don’t eat vegan because it’s healthier, they do it because we treat animals like shit and are killing the planet.

I won’t get into how inhumane the slaughter of animals is but the vast majority of meat bought at your grocery store or chain restaurant was killed in a cruel way. I used to live smack dab in the middle of 3 slaughterhouses and that shit was like a david cronenberg film.
Not to mention the water pollution from the slaughterhouses. Slaughterhouses and animal processing facilities that produce beef, chicken, turkey and other animal products are major water polluters.

I eat certain types of meat but let’s not kid ourselves into thinking any of it is ethical. Propaganda, all of it.
Yeah, lots of vegan propaganda there. Blogs are not peer reviewed sources by the way.
Edit: I see your new sources and they are all bull shit.

They are calculating it wrong. I can pull up many more sources but it’s not like you are going to read them.
Did you just say:
and then try to debunk with a medium post?
