It's so funny that every topic on veganism, you are always to be found.

> I'm dead serious when I say that if you can demonstrate this, you'll be handed a PHd on a platter. Possibly a Nobel prize.

Are you dead serious?

> PS sorry can't resist, you'll get another Nobel for publishing how humans are 'built to be...'.

Well considering we aren't obligate carnivores and we aren't obligate herbivores, I wonder what we are?

Eating meat, just like eating vegetables, fruits, etc made us who we are. We are actually built by our food consumption evolutionarily speaking.

> And the typical vegan diet is terrible.

Yes. Because it's not ones humans are designed for.

> A whole food plant based diet is fundamentally different - they only share the fact that they are based on non animal products

Yikes. That just sounds like a rebranding of a terrible idea. Kind of like how "neo-nazis" rebranded to alt-right.

Balanced diet including meat, veggies, etc > vegan/whole food diet. Human society has proven this to be true. The dominant human society is the balanced diet society. No vegan society nor meat-only society truly exists.
