I don't think so. We are omnivores, we are supposed to eat balanced food. While being pure vegan can work, it is... work? You more than likely will need to take supplements anyway, and have to spend additional time and care for getting and preparing food, which could be used for something else instead.
And if you do that to a child, you should be punished for it by law. Same goes to the absolute retards trying to feed their cats only plant foods then wondering why they get sick.
Healthy for the Earth, and can be healthy for the body. Only if you're well off though.
I don't know how healthy it is, but it is healthier for sure than eating meat too, and it also contributes a lot to really nature-friendly lifestyle.
In the end they die just like the rest of us.
Fuck it. Eat a burger.
All right, gentleperchildren, let's review. The year is 2024 - that's two-zero-two-four, as in the 21st Century's perfect vision - and I am sorry to say the world has become a pussy-whipped, Brady Bunch version of itself, run by a bunch of still-masked clots ridden infertile senile sissies who want the Last Ukrainian to die so they can get on with the War on China, with some middle-eastern genocide on the side
I doubt so. You cannot replace all vitamins and therefore it is not entirely healthy.
Eating everything is the only healthy option when you are an omnivore animal.
Yeah, I know! And in fact there is evidence that trees talk to each other and have a communal society. Look it up.
If it isn't another human, I'll eat it. Or at least taste it. Unless my fellow humans have identified it as poisonous or toxic, in which case I'll defer to their wisdom.

Yes, exactly. My father, for example, is getting old, and can't properly digest beef. So, he doesn't eat it. My aunt can't properly digest dairy, so she doesn't eat it. That's perfectly fine.
I only have a problem with people who put arbitrary restrictions on their diets.
Eggs, done correctly, are one of the best proteins you can have. I get them from responsible farmers because of my contacts in the food business, so I can't advocate it for everyone.
Fish, also. However, sustainable fishing is something we must consider. Squid is one of the best options for cheap and sustainable seafood.
....I Could go on with this all day.
I have thought about veganism but my big concern is sufficient protein. I run and weight train several times a week. I'm lactose intolerant (not really an issue with veganism) and I also can't tolerate soy in large amounts. Not sure about wheat gluten (what seitan is made out of). My doctor thinks I should try a gluten-free diet because of some ongoing fatigue issues, but everyone here acts like going gluten free cures everything from acne to cancer so I'm skeptical that cutting it out will do anything. I don't eat a lot of foods with gluten to begin with.
There are some vegan protein powders that might be OK, but most of them are pea-based and taste kindof gross.
Yea, Seitan is 75% protein is insane. I don't get what you mean by protein quality however, do you mean it doesn't have all of the essential amino acids? If so that's true for every plant-based protein source, you absolutely need to vary your protein sources regardless. Other than that, amino acids are amino acids, there arent "high quality" amino acids, you need all the essential ones that your body cannot produce and enough amino acids overall to produce your own.
Calling is junk food though, i can't say I agree. I don't think anyone has ever refered to high protein meals as junk food... That said if all you eat in a meal is a load of seitan, you're doing it wrong, just like someone eating only meat is, you gotta eat your veggies, and more importantly, vary your food as much as you can.
No. It's a great way to get nutritional deficiencies and give your unborn children neurological disorders, though

It isn't healthier/unhealthier than any other diet. Vegan is a rather broad concept. Perhaps it is slightly more complicated to live a healthy vegan life than a "normal" life.

Gluten-free typically isn't necessary unless you're celiac or have a measurable wheat sensitivity. Refined grains like white flour usually aren't health promoting, so maybe the benefits people see are due to eliminating those foods from their diet.
You can get sufficient protein from whole plant foods like beans and legumes. I don't want to assume gender, but there are several vegan athletes you can look up depending on your goals. Rich Roll is a popular one who does Ironman competitions.

You either trolling or you are tremendously under educated....So a sabertooth was more carnivorous than a mountain lion because of larger canines?
"The simple answer is humans are omnivores - physiologically - as we have the capability to digest both plant and animal matter. Many humans are behavioural omnivores as well, consuming both as part of their diet, although many people can and do live while consuming only plant products.
Most if not all humans can or could digest animal products in some form - a brief search doesn't bring up any counterexamples of people who cannot physiologically do this (in the same way that many people cannot digest milk well in adulthood as they are lactose intolerant). Even if some people do not have this capability, they would be exceptional and broadly speaking you could describe humans as omnivorous, at least physiologically."
