That's what I meant with pretend. What's best boils down to my beliefs, there is no objective criteria.
No, there are simply no risks in not eating meat. There are risks in eating only potatos, but there's just as much in eating only bacon. The potential risks in vegetarian and carnivore diet come from not enough diversity. But take a "normal Western" diverse diet, strip out the meat, and you're perfectly fine in all macro- and micronutrients.
I'm not OP of this subthread btw. Nobody ever came at me for my children's diet. Which they honestly should, as we eat way to much pasta, but that's what's always accepted π
That! Noone ever gets side eyed for taking their kids to McDonald's, which is the acme of malnutrition. But as soon as you don't serve meat to your kid every day, you get hassled by strangers. There are 35 million malnourished, mostly meat eating kids in the US, just by looking at the number of overweight children. But somehow the 1β° of those who are vegan seem to be the issue.
Btw. I'm also not the OP of this thread, I'm not even vegan myself. But I get annoyed with these militant carnivores that pop up every time someone mentions veganism, just to spread FUD.
