    It is clearly possible to have healthy vegan diet, you do have to plan what you eat to have necessary nutrition. If you do not do that, then there is a rather high chance of malnutrition, especially in children. This chance is much less if you are not vegan. This is why people express concern.

      Sure, but why is it socially acceptable to be “concerned” about vegans in general and not meat-eaters who eat like shit? It’s fake concern 99% of the time. Just people pretending to be better than others because they don’t agree with the life choices that don’t affect them in any way.

      The #1 reason for not going vegan isn’t the health concerns, it’s because you were raised eating meat and can’t imagine not having it. I will fully admit that’s why I haven’t made the change but I’m not here spouting bullshit to vegans

        Why do you say it is not socially acceptable to ask this question to meat eaters? I am on keto diet for many years and regularly receive questions about it. I would just object to the classification that “I eat like shit”, but other than that everything goes.

          Bad phrasing, honestly. You just don’t really see other diets getting “concerned citizens” chiming in every time

          literally this thread we’re talking in wtf dude

          My replies started because of a commenter “concerned” that vegans were malnourished.

            Literally this thread has multiple people correcting OP for falsely stating vegans are singled out for diet based criticism wtf dude

            If you think keto diets arent criticized, you arent living in the real world. This thread is a strawman.

      Nah, I don’t plan shit. I just listen to my body and it tells me if I’m missing something. It’s been evolving to keep me alive for billions of years, it knows what’s up. I just have to know how to listen.
