Do you really think any diet plan where you need to pop pills not to become deficient is natural?

Natural? Arsenic, absinthe, ricin, and amotoxin are natural. Do you consider hormones in your meat and dairy products natural?

You can either take a B-12 supplement or sprinkle nutritional yeast (not brewers, that stuff reeks) on your food.

It's funny to me how people decry the unhealthiness of veganism, to which I say I dare you to walk into any stroke, cancer, heart disease, diabetes, etc. unit in a hospital and find me a single vegan.

My mother is a vegetarian and she’s 90 years old with no known health issues and had a check-up last week. I doubt if I live to her age (and not sure I want to).

You’re saying things that are often repeated, but are not factual.

The human body needs amino acids that are hard to attain on a vegan diet, pure and simple fact. Many vegans (that truly follow through with it) end up anemic (not genetic, environmental, but dietary caused) and with other issues because of this diet.

Your argument does not even make sense. Even the vegan eats a diet that has industrial food, i.e. herbicides, pesticides, fungicides, irradiation, homogenization, pasteurization, additives for color, stabilizers, preservatives, use of fertilizers... Even so called “organic” foods are fake. Unless you buy from a farmer direct, you’re getting industrial food.
