Veganism & vegetarianism

[AFTT47]

Oh I'm sorry, have you studied health and nutrition? No? Then you're the one full of shit AFTT47.

I haven't studied it formally. Yet I still know that carnivores have an intestine length to body length ratio of 5-1 while we have a ratio of 12-1. This means when we eat meat, we absorb many more toxins than a carnivore would. I know that a carnivore's renal system can handle the toxins associated with eating meat far better than our's can. Even so, carnivores must sleep many more hours each day and have much shorter lifespans. I also know that while our intestines don't have the 20-1 length ratio true herbivores do, we are capable of getting nearly everything we need from complex vegetables. Protein is not an issue because our body builds it from amino acids - all easily available from vegetable sources. Nearly all nutrients are available too - the exceptions being B12 and D3. Both are available as supplements. You know this so why are you neglecting to mention it?

Vegans do indeed need to carefully monitor their intake to make sure they are not deficient in certain areas and I'm sure most of them know that. Dairy-consuming vegetarians would have a hard time avoiding getting what they need if they wanted to - I suspect you damn-well know that. Contrast that with the carcinogenic-rich diet of a meat eater and it's ridiculous to say they have an unhealthy diet.
