Its idiotic, which is no surprise, since PETA people are idiotic fanatics. I have argued a lot about what food fits our biochemistry in the health thread, and gave many links to lectures, interviews, videos, documentaries, studies; and what PETA - and climate-driven Vegans and Vegetarians - want to feed people, will cause hundreds of millions of people becoming metabolically seriously ill, and if they dont stop it, they will die of it sooner than they must by their natural health expectancy. You cannot argue with biochemistry, it accepts ideology not as an argument.
We are meat eaters, and we are meat eaters since millions of years. Live with it. Most of the plants we eat today did not even exist a blink of an eye ago in human evolutionary history, and this also applies to modern wheat and other cereals. Plant seed oils are being eaten since not even 150 years (no, the ancient mediterranean populations did not eat olive oil, they used it as kind of a soap only). And as a result, we are not metabolically adapted to them. Not to the thousands and thousands of chemical warfare agents that plants use to defend themselves against being eaten, not to the specific form in which various nutrients are present in plants and which make them less or not at all bioavailable to us, not to the anti-nutrients that ruin our eating of the few nutrients that plants could actually offer us. The vitamine and minerla and trace element contents of vegetables and fruits are vastly overestimated and have further degraded over the past 100 years as a consequence from eroding farmland soil quality. Using fertilizers excessively comes at a cost, the bill gets presented with a delay of decades.
The physical degeneration of humans began around 12 millennia ago. Humans also became sedentary 12 millennia ago and began farming, until then they were either hunters, hunter-gatherers, or fishermen. Since then, their physique has become smaller, their skeleton, their bone stability, their muscle mass, their skull size, their jaw size (no wonder that orthodontists in the western world are in high demand), their immunological resistence, and the brains of Homo Sapiens Sapiens have shrunk by about 10% in these 12,000 years. No, we are not the most clever and witty humans who ever lived. TV is evidence for it.
There are significant correlations between a vegan diet in children and adolescents and the likelihood of autism and ADHS as well as learning disorders and neurogenerative underdevelopment in adolescents.
Plant-based diets are high in carbohydrates and fiber, and lead to insulin resistance, obesity, chronic inflammation, autoimmune diseases, hormonal disorders, and intestinal problems. Plant-based and seed-oil using diets are not the treatment for such diseases - but too often the cause.
Eat only fatty red meat and fish and there will be no nutrient deficiencies in the body. Eat only plant-based foods, and many nutrient deficiencies remain, which, if not compensated for by artificial means or meat/fish/eggs, make people often ill - and ultimately kill them.
