Most noteworthy for me is the fact that more Americans think that porn (52%) and homosexuality (39%) are wrong than spanking children (23%) and being ultra wealthy (18%).

Plants take less land than animals, because animals are made out of plants. With animals, you have to grow the plants to feed them, and then grow the animals. Veganity is more efficient

We evolved to eat animals because they've done the work of processing the plants, which we're unable to do efficiently. So it's rather the opposite.

Look at the difference in bioavailability of heme iron vs trying to get iron from spinach or some other green leafy vegetables. We don't have to consider further confounders such as antinutrients since it just worsens the comparison.

These days we can just dig iron out of the ground, use it to make pots, and cook our veggies in the pots to get iron. We don't need animals anymore.

I see that you've not looked up what I've said at all. Have a good day.

This is painfully naive and inaccurate.

Following this reasoning, we should all be eating insects because, without them, most plants wouldn’t exist.
