I believe I just saw a headline today that Vegans and others who do not eat meat, are more likely than meat eaters to suffer fractured bones.
Yeah, bring me some soyburger and see it there ain’t some broken bones. LOL!

One of the quickest ways to become malnourished it to become a vegan. Most vegans only make it 5-7 years before their health issues are so serious & they feel so bad that they start adding back some form of meat. There are a very few vegans whose bodies can handle it (& they are super careful to supplement, etc.). One doctor, out of 900 patients, had 2-3 vegans who were doing ok. An OB’s worst nightmare is a pregnant vegan - they are not eating the foods that help their babies brains develop.
If you’re interested, here is an interview with a vegan who made it 20 years, much to the detriment of her health (spine is degenerating, among other issues):

On this episode of the Sustainable Dish podcast I speak with Lierre Keith, author of the Vegetarian Myth, about her experience being a vegan for almost two decades and her eventual transition back into eating meat.

My comment: what pisses me off to no end is that if someone wants to be vegan, go for it ... I have no problem with it; however, vegans want to IMPOSE their eway of eating on everyone else. They can’t persuade people because their way of eating is superior for good health so they try to do it using climate change, the environment, being kind to animals, etc. To be completely above board, I am almost totally carnivore - I patronize local farms that use regenerative farming methods & ethical/humane raising/harvesting of animals. If you want further into on this, you can check out the movie “Sacred Cow” - you can view it for free between now and Nov. 30 (I’ve seen it & it’s excellent):
A different side of the story
“At our grocery stores and dinner tables, even the most thoughtful consumers are overwhelmed by the number of considerations to weigh when choosing what to eat—especially when it comes to meat. Guided by the noble principle of least harm, many responsible citizens resolve the ethical, environmental and nutritional conundrum by quitting meat entirely. But can a healthy, sustainable and conscientious food system exist without animals?
Sacred Cow probes the fundamental moral, environmental and nutritional quandaries we face in raising and eating animals. In this film project, we focus our lens on the largest and perhaps most maligned of farmed animals, the cow.”
