Just Eat Some Animals
Girl Disgusted by Vegetables
Humans evolved eating both animals and plants. However, we can function in some cases without either.
The Inuit, for example, survived mostly without plants, but they had to compensate by eating lots of organ meats.
In the 21st century, people can survive and function without animal foods if they make sure to supplement with critical nutrients.
Before the era of supplementation, completely removing animal foods would have lead to a slow and painful death due to B12 deficiency.
But even though functioning without either plants or animals is possible… neither is optimal.
In the same way that a meat-based diet is healthier with a little bit of plants, a plant-based diet is healthier with a little bit of animals.
I highly recommend that people who choose to avoid meat for ethical reasons (because there is NO proven health reason) at least include some eggs and fatty fish. A little bit goes a long way and it is possible to choose natural, humanely raised sources.
But to those who really decide to remove all animal foods from their diet… make sure to be very prudent about your diet and supplement, or you may end up very sick with a poorly functioning brain
