    I’m not vegan, I’m vegetarian, but I don’t need any supplements to be just fine. I know plenty of vegans who are happy and healthy without supplements. It isn’t that hard to find sources elsewhere in your diet. I’ve never understood the malnutrition argument, when we’ve known that you can be perfectly healthy (and statistically healthier than otherwise) when eating vegan. You can’t just eat salads and expect to be okay, but doesn’t that sound like such a bland diet anyways? I prefer making stir fries, burritos, stews, and other mixed dishes where I can hit all the macro and micro nutrients my body needs. I’m very healthy and haven’t eaten meat or animal products outside of humanely sourced eggs (my friend has chickens) for years.

        What are you on about? There are plenty of great sources of protein that aren’t meat, and I have friends that have been vegan for decades and are healthy, some of which are in incredibly good shape. Also, you’re not even right about the “recover from a single steak” thing, because our bodies stop processing meat properly after enough time having not eaten it, and too much too soon can make you sick. Additionally, I never claimed to be vegan! Weird takes all around.

        They appear to have deleted their comment, this is what it said:

        And the common trend of vegans becoming really sickly only to recover after a single steak means nothing to you?

        Then agian, you are eating eggs so you aren’t REALLY going Vegan, there’s still plenty of protein in there.
