Imagine how many people you could feed if we would just eat what we fed the animals!

    You start.

    Let me know how a diet of grass works out for you, your digestive system, your immune system, and overall health.

    Well I've been vegan for a long time and am healthier than many animal abusers, so it's going quite well for me :)

    I don't believe you know enough animal abusers to make such a claim

    Right, the systematic torture of millions of animals is absolutely not animal abuse.

    Can you finish this documentary: https://watchdominion.org/ (YouTube)

    Or will you keep your eyes closed?

    We can't live on hay and corn. Cows need several stomachs to do it.

    Also, getting enough protein and creatine and other vitamins as a vegan is a hell of a lot of work and doesn't taste as good.

    Humans are animals, and the type of animals we are is omnivores. Not herbivores.

    Yup. Mostly better suited more leaning to the carnivore and fruitarian side of omnivore.

    Man cannot live on grass.

    Also, getting enough protein and creatine and other vitamins as a vegan is a hell of a lot of work and doesn’t taste as good.

    I tried hard, for a decade, and never managed to fully do it, even with a lot of hemp kernels (1-4 cups) every day.

    Health bouncing back since going keto-carn. Mostly beef. (Grass fed).

    So simple, so easily healthy.

    Contrast to the complex chemistry juggling jigsaw of trying to have a vegan diet.

    Maybe blood type matters. Maybe other blood types than mine have an easier time of vegan (or at least vegetarian, or just pescetarian). Or other genetic, evolutionary, environmental factors.
