You gotta make sure any diet you eat is healthy of course, thriving on a plant based diet is easily achievable.

Plenty of people with meat-filled diets experience deficiencies all the time.

Plenty of people with meat-filled diets experience deficiencies all the time so eating meat also may lead to nutritional deficiencies.

Oh, of course, and tbh I kinda agree with a lot of what vegans have to say but I also know that tbh most people are not going to go vegan.

I know you probably think I am sitting here eating a steak now and that I only want to eat meat at this point but not really, I am actively trying to reduce meat in general in my diet and replace it with more veggies both for health and moral reasons. I can also think that (most) farms should absolutely treat animals better before slaughter. I can also agree that there are some animal products that are just unethical imo like veal or any baby animal used for food, or say a Foie gras.

But I also know that I am unlikely to cut ALL meat out of my diet, and I can also find the slaughter of far older animals to be less morally unjust, I mean I am ok with people taking what ever body part from me when I die, it’s why I am an organ donor, I would like to still be useful somehow after death.
