First things first this isn't a thread to bash Veganism nor preach it! I don't want people insulting each other over lifestyle choices, the thread is to discuss Veganism in a civil manner...
So we know a number of people become Vegan for ethical reasons BUT is it really better for your health than Vegetarianism and Meat-Eating?

Is Veganism really a healthy lifestyle?

Got to watch your vitamin levels, D & B12 especially. Also a lot of vegan options are really high in fat (oil) and salt.
It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shakes, the shakes become a warning.

No. It's a great way to get nutritional deficiencies and give your unborn children neurological disorders, though.

We're not carnivores. We're omnivores.

Recall them needing supplements if they don't eat proper... so generally speaking, can't imagine it is.

If anyone knew what was healthy for everyone, they would be a billionaire. Which billionaire is the one that has answered this for everyone? Originally Posted by adam86shadow

It has it's issues but is probably healthier than the average fast food diet.

Pescetarianism is better. But there's really no need to distinguish a diet on the basis of avoiding meat. You can eat a terrible vegetarian or vegan diet - just eat oreos all the time and you'll be good to go. A better way to define a diet would be by the consumption of whole, unprocessed foods in moderate quantities. It's hard to go wrong with those two principles. Originally Posted by Elba

I don't think such a diet exists. There will always be someone who is allergic to something, or who cannot metabolize certain macronutrients as effectively as others. Originally Posted by Tota

Then why ask if a diet is healthy or not if you already know the answer? Originally Posted by adam86shadow

Not an accurate rebuttal. Meat does not rot in the digestive tracts of humans. Of course, it's also not true that humans are carnivores. Originally Posted by Elba

There's some amino acids and stuff you need to watch for, too, IIRC. Originally Posted by Kujako

A decent, lean omnivorous diet is going to be "healthier" than a vegan one, just in that it doesn't need the same level of micromanagement for basic nutrients.

For me definitely not - I'm intolerant or allergic to too many of the substitutes.
For anyone under 21 - absolutely not.
As you get older, and you don't have any other issues - then it does become very healthy indeed.
Challenge Mode : Play WoW like my disability has me play:
You will need two people, Brian MUST use the mouse for movement/looking and John MUST use the keyboard for casting, attacking, healing etc.
Briand and John share the same goal, same intentions - but they can't talk to each other, however they can react to each other's in game activities.
Now see how far Brian and John get in WoW.
