No, I eat mainly, what is said, in a vegetarian way, that is, I include products such as cheese and other dairy products and eggs in my diet. I also eat from time to time meat products and fish (1-2 times a week). In the latter I prefer quality over quantity, that is, I do not spend money on meat and fish offered by massive livestock, but farm animals. But yes, I do believe that I eat reasonably sustainably with a diet that can be considered traditional in the sense of the word.

We are biologically omnivorous and our intestine is too short to be able to extract all the nutrients from purely vegetable foods, which must be supplied in the long run in the vegan diet with vitamin and mineral supplements, not contained in sufficient quantities or directly not present in vegetables. . . For example, some supplements, such as yeast, are not essentially vegan, since they are bacteria. Even in the wild our closest relatives, the chimpanzees, feed mainly on vegetables and fruits, but do supplement it from time to time with insects, invertebrates and even hunt small mammals. Really important is meat and animal products in children and young people in development, not so much in adults and less so in older people. In the future perhaps it will be put more into use to use insects for the contribution of proteins, since they offer proteins of high nutritional value and of course it would be sustainable and ecological in the broadest sense. Things of customs, in the end there is not so much difference between a shrimp and a grasshopper, the latter being even a plague.

Anyway, everyone has their preferences and everything is valid, as long as it doesn’t lead to abuse, it is at this point where it fails too many times. Fanaticism is never healthy in food, neither for some and not for others
