There’s is no evidence to suggest ‘many’ humans don’t have these adaptations you’re using the fact that a very very low percentage of the population may have these, so therefore I can use th...

"While very few people are completely unable to convert beta-carotene to retinol, up to 45-60% of the population are considered "low responders" who have a significantly reduced ability to do so."

You can look this up for every plant-nutrient>>>animal-nutrient pair and see for yourself. You can then calculate the amount of people who will realistically live well on a plant based diet. It is less than half of all the people.

You can supplement non-animal derived retinol, and it’s even advised to do so if you are a low converter. Not wanting to take a supplement isn’t a very good moral justifier to torture and kill billions of animals per year. That amount of suffering far outweighs the inconvenience of taking a sup...

You can get all the required nutrition on a well balanced plant-based diet. The fact human meat would be nutritionally complete doesn’t make it morally justifiable to murder humans for nutrition. M...

The genetic aspect is just a data point, that proves that many humans lack the genetic adaptations to thrive on a plant based diet. It catapults plant-based diets to wishful-thinking-land.

I understand your moral virtues and I understand you prefer animal wellbeing over your own wellbeing. It is noble and somewhat suicidal.

Your text contains a straw man, a hasty generalization, false equivalence, a missing causal link and an ethical reductio ad absurdum. That is quite the achievement considering how short your reply is 👸

Give one logical argument for torturing and murdering animals against their will?

Facts:
Animal foods are nutritionally complete.

Many humans lack the genetic adaptations to convert the plant forms of vitamins (betacarotin, k1, d2) to their animal counterparts (retinol, k2, d3).

For humans with growing brains sufficient amounts of EPA&DHA are necessary for cognitive development. Conversion from ALA to EPA&DHA is sometimes very inefficient, depending on genetic factors.

Opinion:
Feeding yourself a diet without animal products without genetic testing and proper care is irresponsible.
Should not be forced onto persons under care.

Destroy a product that is already made, and replace it with a product that needs energy and materials to produce, yet we are supposed to be cutting energy use to save the planet, in Australia we dump perfectly good animal hides into the garbage tip, are our politicians insane, or are we insane.

Purged all my polyester clothes 5 years ago and never looked back. Very important, and easier-than-expected health upgrade everyone should make. [h/t solbrah] https://blossom.primal.net/483941c27e9c...

Good move. I made the mistake of buying an old zeiss lab microscope and started looking at all the dust that appears in various places.
Now I have to giggle sometimes when people worry about microplastics in their facewash and wear ultramicroplastics woven into clothings at the same time
