Veganism is anti-human. We are not meant to be vegans. There is not, and never has been a culture that eats a vegan diet. Never. That should tell you something about how important it is to eat animal foods. Dairy, meat, eggs. All good for you. Maybe some people have trouble with milk, but most of us can handle milk and milk products. But that is not enough to promote veganism. It is early death. It is not good. It promotes poor mental health. Don't do it, and especially, don't let your children eat vegan. They need the vitamins and minerals and fats found in animal products. You and not your children, are in charge of the family diet!!
I hear people who cant handle milk can actually handle raw milk. Its the processing that kills the good bacteria that helps us digest it that makes people lactose intolerant. Sometimes. Some people just cant have it period.
I heard that goat milk is good for people that are lactose intolerant.
Can confirm. Bought a couple gallons of raw milk from the amish recently and my digestion has been great with it. Not to mention it tastes great.
Oh nice! One of my next family outtings I plan on taking the fam to a small dairy farm that sells all sorts of unpasteurized goods. Im excited to try it.
anecdotal evidence, but I'm lactose intolerant.
I can drink it, but everyone around me suffers...😂
TECHNICALLY you could eat a vegan diet and be perfectly healthy, BUT it is an extremely difficult thing to do. Which is why most of these vegans all look like sickly ghouls.
There's a reason most herbivorous animals have multiple stomachs, they get far more out of the greens then we do.
You have to eat a shitload of greens and a very diverse variety to get everything your body needs. Whereas animal meat and products are far more nutrient dense because the animal has already done all the work.
No, technically you cannot. Vegans claim that by combining different plant foods, they can get all of the essential amino acids that the human body needs. While it is true that all plant foods are deficient in one or more essential amino acids, and by combining the plant foods, there will be all the essentail amino acids from the variety of foods, it is not true that this is healthy.
The amino acids in plant foods are in the wrong proportions, and are not well-absorbed (bioavailable) by the human body. Therefore, there will still be deficiencies.
Animal foods include all the essential amino acids, in the correct proportions, and in a highly bioavailable form for humans. Plants have none of these characteristics.
Plus, plant foods are deficient in vitamins and minerals, compared to animal foods, and plants also include anti-nutrients which block absorbtion of key micronutrients, while animal foods do not.
Just no comparison, if we are talking about what is best for human health.
Why do you think Bill Gates and the other gouls want everyone to eat plant foods? For their health? Hahahahahaha.
Yes, but most people do not understand HOW it works.
Ruminant animals, such as cattle, have multiple chambers in their stomach (not multiple stomachs). These chambers serve different purposes for digestion.
The first chamber has trillions of bacteria. Bacteria are the ONLY thing on planet Earth that can digest cellulose/fiber. Humans have ZERO bacteria in our stomach. Our digestive bacteria are in our colon -- at the END of the digestive system (to clear out the trash that is not supposed to be there in our diet).
Ruminants have the bacteria in the first chamber so that the bacteria can digest the grass (cellulose). Then, the animal reguritates it back up to the mouth to "chew their cud." Then, it goes back down for more bacteria digestion. This back-and-forth process happens all day long, which is why cattle are always chewing.
They can chew the same grass 200 times, before the liquid that the bacteria leave behind goes on to the next chamber of the stomach. Eventually, this liquid is converted into fatty acids, which is what the animal lives on. Even though cattle eat grass, they do not get their energy from carbohydrates. They get it from fatty acids that are derived from the digestion process.
They also get protein from the various bugs they ingest along with the grass.
Thank you, explained it better than I did, tried to make the same point.
Vegan diet bad, meat good lol
Yes, these points should be emphasized when talking with vegans. Some vegans also think it is a healthier way to eat, so we should be versed on the falsehood of those claims, as well.
Vegan-oriented books and websites LIE to promote their religion, which is why most vegans are ignorant about the counter-points that we are discussing here.
If they became aware, some of them would drop the religion, while others will follow their cult off a cliff. So be it, just don't drag the rest of us, too!
multi-compartment stomachs, but yes.
even then, though, they'll take meat when they can get it...
Ruminants don't eat meat (other than the bugs in the grass), just like cats won't eat salad.
I'm not saying it's a primary part of their diet, but it's not as uncommon as you'd think, lol.

Correct. Veganism started around 100 years ago by a monastery of monks. The leaders noticed that eliminating meat from the diet made the males less interested in sex, which is what they wanted in a monastery. Kellogg would later learn about this, and implement veganism into his religious cult because he thought that all sex was a sin. Kellogg was a really weird mofo.
Milk has a sugar, called lactose. When we are born, we have an enzyme in our body called lactase. Lactase is the enzyme needed to break down the sugar lactose.
Raw milk includes lactase in it, but the pasteurization process kills the lactase.
As adults, some people lose the lactase enzyme, while others retain it. This is why the "lactose intolerant" people have a hard time digesting pasteurized milk in the stores. They don't have the lactase enzyme in their body, and the pasteurization process has killed off the lactase that was in the raw milk.
But they can ususally drink raw milk. They might have to start with a very small amount and work their way up to larger amounts, but they should be able to digest raw milk.
Not saying you're wrong, but we had a different diet before we started killing and eating animals. There was a human "diet" before animals.
The human diet was ALWAYS about eating animals.
There was a time before we ate animals though. That's what I'm talking about.
No, there was never a time when humans (homo sapien sapien) did not eat animals.
God made us vegan….there was no death so therefore no meat. The fall changed that. Downvoters can argue with God about thiis.
Edit: Gen 1:29 God said, “See, I give you every seed-bearing plant that is upon all the earth, and every tree that has seed-bearing fruit; they shall be yours for food. 1:30 And to all the animals on land, to all the birds of the sky, and to everything that creeps on earth, in which there is the breath of life, [I give] all the green grasses for food.” And it was so.
How am I in error exactly?
This is absolutely not supported by the biblical text. In fact God created predator - prey relationships in the very beginning as part of the GOODNESS of creation.
Psalm 104:20-28

Also you need to check your theological hubris on debatable matters. "you can argue with God about this" LOL, well that makes for open discussion doesn't it?
Your problem is that you assume because the Genesis 2-3 text narrows in on consuming the trees of the garden, that therefore that's all that was given to be eaten. Logical fallacy. Clearly the reaon for the focus on vegation is because that is where the specific prohibition was categorized: do not eat of a tree rather than say a species of animal.
Also Adam was given dominion to name the animals under his authority, both livestock and wild animals. As if mankind who by design is an omnivore, with a big brain requiring the nutritional contents of muscle meats, organ meats, fats, etc was intended to only stare at the beauty and song of those fatty meat beasts walking around on all fours. Right.
Gen 1:29 God said, “See, I give you every seed-bearing plant that is upon all the earth, and every tree that has seed-bearing fruit; they shall be yours for food. 1:30 And to all the animals on land, to all the birds of the sky, and to everything that creeps on earth, in which there is the breath of life, [I give] all the green grasses for food.” And it was so.
I don’t see my error.
