You need considerable  nutritional expertise to combine the right plant foods at the right times--- and then  get people to eat enough of it-- for it to do any good for health.

There ‘ya go.

I must be Smarter Than The Average Bear!

I suspected it. I’ve been told. I’ve coached others.

I am a Nutritional Expert!

Not, not just some, but considerable nutritional expertise. 

Seriously guys...relax.

It’s just a carrot.

That begs the question as to how and using what to fertilize the soil to grow carrots?

Manure from animals, or chemicals?  Or what?  Enlighten me.

A couple of years ago, @sidsmom , I asked whether you personally take any supplements to enhance your diet.  You said you did.

Do you no longer take any to supply any missing nutrients?

I take B12.

Studies are beginning to show everyone, no matter the type of diet, 

are deficient in B12, unless eating processed foods w/ added B12.

I am not eating a plant diet and no meat. I don't care who does what. I will not be forced into a meatless diet, by bullies. If you wish to eat like that fine, but leave me alone

[novamc1]

Anyone who reads anything about Vitamin B12 knows that the vitamin is easily obtained from meat, fish, milk, eggs and many other foods----so I don't know about  the prevalence of a deficiency in the vitamin, unless all foods containing it are avoided.

But then again, I'm no smarter than the average bear, nor am I a "nutritional expert".

If I were a nutritional expert, I would mention my professional training and credentials to back up the title behind my name---IF I wanted anyone to pay attention to what I say.

We will just import food from other countries like we do now. Many plants can be grown without dirt in a hothouse, so no problems.

I don't plan on eating these plant based burgers.  They are way too processed and full of sodium and other things that are not healthy.  I don't eat many burgers anyway and never fast food, so I won't miss anything.

I like my vegetables crisp and fresh and unprocessed, not squished, and cooked to mush. Vegetables are my favorite food group.  They don't need to be turned into a substitute fake meat product.

i guess if we run out of food, Soylent Green wafers might become reality.

I feel the same way!  If I'm going to eat a burger or chicken I will eat the real thing...not a processed faux burger.  I doubt if it's healthier anyway.  I don't need to eat plants that supposedly taste like meat.  Yuck!  I prefer fresh plants to taste like vegetables.

@novamc1  the meds I take stops me from absorbing  B12 and D, other wise I wouldn't be on them. I eat meat ,and  dairy, and  I am always going to. I like it. It is good for me ,and if someone gave me a carrot in a bun I would throw up if I had to eat such disgusting slop[

A quick Google Search would ‘enlighten’ you.

And there’s nothing wrong with cow manure.

Cows are cool.

@haddon9 

I totally agree!

I wouldn’t eat an Impossible Burger or Beyond Burger.

Staying away from processed foods for health. 

Give me a 20# bag of taters & I’m happy.

Veganism as a way of living is difficult to stick to and has a very high dropout rate.  I know it’s not quite the same as being WFPB but very similar.  I have been friendly with three vegans who due to health issues were told to add salmon to their menu two or three times a week.  Bingo...they all improved and felt better.  End of story.
