    when someone says “I know a vegan diet is healthier

    a lot of times, it’s not healthier

    , better for the planet and better for the animals,

    being vegan does nothing for the planet or animals.

      Hahaha very wrong. A vegan diet decreases the risk of cardiometabolic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, obesity, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

      It also sometimes has health benefits if done incorrectly, but that’s true of any diet.

      How is not killing and eating animals not better for the animals.

      Come on use that little noggin of yours to actually look up the data instead of going “it doesn’t”. You can do it little buddy!

        that can be true while, at the same time, it has nutrient deficiency risks and is known to be a precursor to mental illness.

        almost no one kills animals and eats them. if you just stop eating them, that doesn’t help the ones that are already dead, or stop more from being killed.
