The problem is right there in your comment. It isn't sustainable....well, it is for the planet because you won't be on its resources draw! Vegan is not a sustainable lifestyle choice because it doesn't sustain the human body and its needs. I can say that firsthand after quitting (and still recovering from, honestly) veganism after 2 years due to feeling and being depleted and exhausted. After testing my hypothesis with 2 exercise episodes - 1 followed with vegan foods and sleep and awakening feeling terrible from a freakin' WALK, and the 2nd followed by a bag of burgers and tacos, sleep, and awakening feeling awesome and pain-free for a week - there was no question in my mind. The vegan regimen is not a diet; it is a long-term, slow starvation program.

Good writing. However, your critique of veganism overlooks the comprehensive research and ethical considerations motivating veganism. Vegan diets, when properly planned, provide all necessary nutrients, including vitamin B12 through supplements or fortified foods.

The assertion that veganism lacks scientific backing ignores numerous studies highlighting the health and environmental benefits of plant-based diets. Contrary to being "untenable nonsense," veganism represents a conscious choice towards a more sustainable, compassionate lifestyle.

Rebuttals to veganism often misrepresent its rationale, reducing a complex decision to simplistic caricature.

Be well!
