Is it true?

Only if it isn't done right.

Of course veganism is not healthy in the long run. It's an (not well grounded) ethical choice not a health choice.

How long is long run?

21, 6'1, 155 pounds, no health issues, in school.

Oh by 50 ill have problems? Like the rest of adults that age?

Care to actually substantiate your opinion, especially on the first point?

>>7588842
More like, why-the-hell-would-I-eat-this kind of choice

At most it can be as healthy as a normal diet. But not as efficient. Pretty retarded tbh.

Efficiency is only good if you give it to needy or intelligent people
Half the world if obese because of bacon

Vegans are evolutionary luddites.

Not just not healthy but in fact comes with numerous health benefits assuming you avoid processed foods and supplement B12. Some of the longest living and healthiest populations in the world, like those following the traditional Okinawan diet, have under 8% of their calories coming from animal source foods.

I agree, obesity is far more important today. But both sides are stupid. It is just that the kind of people who are vegan are insufferable cunts.

>not eating delicious meat
Vegans are stupid.

>Vegans not contributing to killing of animals and enormous production of greenhouse gasses.

tbh fam if we found out definitively today that eating meat took 10 years off your life, i'd probs still do it. i'd rather enjoy delicious meat for 70 years than be deprived of it for 80.
