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!
