    there is education that goes along with it to actually manage nutrients/macros than just ‘go vegan’ and leave it at that

    beans are not a protein that every body can digest

      That’s why I said statistically. Yeah you can go vegan on oreos and french fries and drag down the stats, but on the whole vegans do better.

      It know, not a great superpower.

        Personally, I think that stat is going to see some dips soon, with everything being loaded with coconut oil these days.

          I don’t think so. The processed vegan meat substitutes are almost as bad for you as the real deal, but they’re also really expensive. After a year or two of that most of us are forced to learn to cook for ourselves from scratch, and once we do that we learn that you can get way tastier / healthier / cheaper meals that way. At least, that was my trajectory.
