From "LiveStrong": "The findings, published in PLoS One in 2014, reported that vegetarians consumed less alcohol and had lower body mass indexes, but showed an elevated risk of cancer, allergies and mental health disorders, such as anxiety and depression."
Plus, when one becomes a vegetarian, you can eliminate from your life what little joy you had left.
So vegetables contain anti-nutrients according to studies. Are we not designed to eat vegetables or are they getting cancer from pesticides on the vegetables?
Dietician here. Probably cancer from being malnourished and a weakened immune system. Veggies do have anti nutrients like phytates, lectins, oxalates, tannins, etc. Humans evolved to be meat heavy omnivores.
Well, couldn't find stats for bug eaters, but I did for cancers in vegans/vetarians vs. meateaters: https://www.livestrong.com/article/481795-the-statistics-of-vegetarians-vs-meat-eaters/

Are there any veggies that don't have anti-nutrients?
Im not sure entirely. I think the ones I consume are generally okay since I researched them before.
Avocados, berries, peppers, celery, lettuce, broccoli (has some, but also has DIMM/I3C so I think its okay).
I eat low carb so that has an influence as well.
I've never met a healthy vegetarian, they're always scrawny soy bitches.
And they all seem to be so SMUG in their lack of masculinity, except for the women, they are manly as hell.
