7.1 per cent of Canadians were vegetarian
Huh. That’s higher than I would’ve guessed. I’ve gone ovo-lacto vegetarian myself, not strictly but habitually. It’s pretty good. Disappointed to learn that it will not mean that I live for three hundred years.
Living longer is not the flex I care about. Focus on quality of life and better health.
Eating plant-based wont affect your quality of life as there are many great recipes for you to try out.
There’s scientific evidence that shows eating plant-based decrease your risk for chronic diseases. So its not just living 6-10 years longer.
Being allergic to many many vegetal protein source makes it hard to get good vegan meals.
Sesame seeds and tahini is used as seasoning in all the good Eastern meals i know, and nuts/peanuts consist of most of the “long lasting” snacks i know of.
Focusing on the limited remaining vegan proteins makes for a very homogeneous diet that turns out is bad for the gut biome.
I’ll support anyone who wants to eat vegan, but I won’t do it myself… I do reduce meat as much as my health allows.
Exactly what I was thinking.
The comment above is not accurate at all.
@lazylion_ca@lemmy.ca expressed an opinion and I have the same opinion. The authors should focus the article on quality of life; longevity is secondary. Are you telling people what personal preferences to have?
If you’re talking about Aqua’s comment I’m only seeing it right now. (Look for yourself at who’s replying to who.)
You do not have to have animal products to have great food. There no reduction in quality of life. That’s not mention the horrible quality of life of the animals abused and slaughtered for your selfish wants.
That title is ideological indoctrination pushing fanaticism.
