How can vegans claim they are on a healthy or natural diet while taking synthetic supplements to survive and having to eat 200 different kinds of seeds, fruits and vegetables that aren't found in nature to avoid even more deficiencies? Also explain how 4 out of the 5 countries with lowest heart disease rates also have relatively high consumption of meat.
The only reason vegans or vegetarians can claim any health benefits, is that both in studies and people's personal anecdotes, the alternative (before they became vegans/vegetarians) had absolutely ZERO discerning about what to eat. The majority of dumb people don't track what they eat, at all, or think about what they eat. If they're hungry, they eat something, might be ramen, might be burger, might be taco bell. Whereas if a vegan gets hungry, they have to eat something specific that they've had to think about, plan out, buy in advance, etc. The majority of stupid people with shit diets literally don't think about what they eat either, they just either buy something convenient, easy and quick, don't prepare meals, eat out often etc.
That's why vegans can claim that the subscribers to veganism are healthier. This phenomenon allows you to make the same claims with almost any niche "health" food. >make online survey >question 1: how many times have you eaten carrots in the last week? >question 2: how prepared and capable do you feel to run long distances? >compiling results >Headline: Survey shows people who eat carrots are more capable of running long distances. >here's our resident dietician: blah blah blah eating carrots equals marathon level physical fitness >dispersed out to advertisers and third-rate news and internet forums: "Eating carrots makes you better at running long distances" >local morons and yokels: "yea buddeh juss been eaten dem carrots, figure it'll get me in better shape" >10 years later; cult of carrot-obsessed retards: "oh you broke your ankle? Well if you eat carrots your ankle will heal back better than before! just try it! my friend's cousin broke her leg, doctors told her she'd be in the hospital for 3 weeks, she ate nothing but carrots for the next 4 days. didn't need a cast and on the day she was released from the hospital she ran a 10k."
Before the agricultural revolution, humans ate almost no meat. Meat is almost entirely a produce of the agricultural age. This has been PROVEN. This is why
Lions can eat other Lions, and be healthy Sharks can eat other Sharks, and be healthy Bears can eat other bears, and be healthy
But if a human eats another human he will get Kuru, a severe prion disease.
In fact, a 2011 study by the Vegan Mayo Clinic showed that the following constituted the average, 3400 calorie diet of pre agricultural man
I should explain the correlation of the second example better.
The survey's first question asks a benign question "how many times have you eaten carrots in the last week". Sounds simple enough, but it's not just an objective numerical tracking of how many times you've eaten carrots over the last 7 days, it's really tracking if people KNOW that they've eaten [insert "superfood" here] in the last week. There's nothing super special about carrots, or acai berries, or broccoli, it's just that people who KNOW that they've eaten those foods in the last week are generally better at tracking their diet and care about their nutrition. That would lead to being in better physical shape for the average person, hence a heightened feeling of confidence for engaging in strenuous physical activity, like running long distances.
This is important because the "super foods" you see on daytime TV programs are NOT convenient or easy, therefore not what normies select to consume. If said survey was asking how often you ate panda express, or some other fast food bullshit, you would not see a correlation for health and fitness. Only because it is inconvenient, expensive, and unpopular, do you see that there is a "super food". It's just more bullshit marketing and that's what veganism is, albeit pretty convincing.
The animals you listed resort to cannibalism only if the are starving or for social reasons, eg; lions will kill and eat cubs that are from a different male to show dominance.

>insects aren't animals How is it any different from meat you fucking asstard.
Leo Ortiz
Kuru is hella fucking rare, and there are certainly diseases which are similar which effect animals other than humans (google "mad cow disease"). The idea that kuru proves that humans are unsuitable for cannibalism is moronic, and the idea that because people are unsuitable for cannibalism that they are unsuitable for meat eating is even more so

>ice age europeans and northern asians ate bananas and melons wow and here I thought they hunted elk and mammoths

Why does it even matter what pre-agricultural man ate? It feels like a pretty big assumption (with no good evidence) to say that what we used to eat necessarily has any resemblance to what is optimal. Why do some stupid reconstruction of what the past might have been like when we can look at people alive today and see what works best? The soundest evidence I've seen for restricted diets improving health has come from pescatarians.
We know what pre-agricultural man ate. Hint: pretty much all meat.
Sebastian Hernandez
One of the main differences between chimps and 'modern man' starting with Australopithecus is that we can digest starches. We literally grew our brains, which use glucose as a primary energy source, from carbohydrates. What carnivores have bigger brains than us?

that's it goy, eating fish contaminated with parasites, heavy metals like fluoride mercury lead and arsenic are definitely a good idea
I dont think it's worth living 7 years longer with no gains
Andrew Cox
>calling someone goy >links cnn, theguardian, and yahoo
Holy shit user... First off, the fact you listed parasites as a concern shows how brain dead you are. And mercury poisoning is the biggest non-issue in the world. Just don't eat processed garbage shit like canned tuna.
The health benefits of fish outway the non-risks 10 fold.
>independent.co.uk, abc, dailymail user, stop! this is getting too funny
Sushi is actually my favorite food. Despite common belief, sushi grade fish is actually flash frozen to kill parasites.
Xavier Reed
>sushi
your bad taste knows no ends. im sure this is due to all the mercury poisoning your already small brain is getting. enjoy your alzheimers/dementia in 20 years
Matthew Hill
What did user mean by this. I hope you don't actually think fish is at all related to alzheimers/dementia.
And it took all fucking day to gather and eat that stuff leaving no fucking time for anything.
There is a direct correlation between when we started eating meet and the growth of human society and brain size.
Easton Adams
They could eat no meat, but there still are eggs and cheese.
Kayden Perez
So it's not that eating brains is dangerous by itself, it's eating sick people what's dangerous. That's why you generally don't eat dead animals if you don't know how they died.
