You can spend all day telling yourself and trying to convince others that plant diet are the only healthy and sustainable way to go, when in fact it’s not!
You’re never able to change the nature and the fundamental facts about the nutrient content of food or what the human body requires to live healthily and thrive!
If you are vegan, you’re deceiving yourself about your plants being healthy when the opposite is mostly the case. The result is that you lack vital protein and fats.
You’re also living with the wrongful illusion that you’re saving the planet and not killing animals by eating plants, grains, and sugar.
Let me enlighten you about Mono-Crop farming, plants, and its effects on the environment, animals, and you!
• Kills the organic topsoil and nutrients
• Heavy farming equipment kills multiple millions of insects and small animals yearly
• Toxic weedkillers like Roundup and other chemicals are sprayed on the plants by planes or people to kill anything else that may be alive in the crop field
Your corn, soy, salads, and other vegetables have been grown using chemicals, which you are now consuming. Bees, scores of other insects, and small animals have died for you to be convinced you’re eating healthy plants, not harming animals, and saving the environment too!
It’s time vegans stop believing this practice will save the climate and save animals when the reverse is the case.

In addition, much of the world’s corn and soy are fed to livestock, not humans, in Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations, or CAFOs. CAFO-raised cows, pigs, and chickens represent an almost limitless market for these crops.
In other words, mass-production plant farming makes most of its profits by selling its products to the cruel concentrated factory meat production industry, which vegans are therefore indirectly supporting!
Please let that sink in!
Now let’s look at the nutrient differences between plants, meat, and animal products
Animal Protein vs. Plant Protein
- Essential amino acids — Lacking amino acids
- Bio-available nutrients — Hard to access nutrients
- Has essential fats — no or little fats
- No indigestible fiber — Hard-to-digest fiber
- Complete protein — Incomplete protein
Plant-based foods typically provide less complete protein nutrition because of lower digestibility and source-specific deficiencies in essential amino acids, compared with animal proteins. Sciencedirect.com
→ Protein can’t be obtained in sufficient amounts from any plant sources
→ Fat can’t be obtained in sufficient amounts from any plant sources
→ Nutrients can’t be obtained in sufficient amounts from any plant sources
Animal protein is broadly recognised as having vastly higher nutritional quality than plant-based protein. Sciencedirect.com
Humans have evolved by eating meat for millions of years- there’s no denying that fact.
Proteins from animal sources, particularly dairy proteins, are important for providing adequate nutrition for human, particularly infants for their cognitive and physical development. Sciencedirect.com
You may continue thinking and claiming the plant-based diet is adequate and far healthier than the keto-carnivore meat diet.
Science and facts speak louder than a “belief system.”
It’s long since been scientifically (as the latest study by the American Society of Nutrition confirms) proven that red meat is not at all inflammatory. It does not promote heart disease. The opposite, it provides us with all the essential nutrients our body and mind need, boosts our immune system, and makes us strong and healthy!
Your cells are made of protein — without protein, there’s no life — protein is the building block of life.
That sentence is the cornerstone of life and humanity and something everyone should remember.
If you continue starving your body and mind of the vital nutrients animal meat and fats provide, you’ll become frail and sick. If you’re lucky, and it’s not too late to save your metabolic meltdown, you’ll turn back to eating meat.
Fun Fact: An estimated 84% of people who try a vegan or vegetarian diet go back to eating meat.
That’s a massive percentage of folks falling off the vegan wagon and jumping back on the meat train.
What may be the solution to all the plant-based misunderstandings and to produce healthy plants?
1. The massive mono-crop farming could be stopped and reversed into organic vegetable or animal farming.
2. The CAFOs and inhumane treatment of the animals could also be replaced by law with organic only and animal farming.
3. The animals would lead a healthy and happy existence, plus people wouldn’t eat meat from animals fed growth hormones, steroids, and other chemicals.
4. The plants you still want to consume will arrive chemical-free and not damage your body and mind with chemical toxins.

Final Thoughts
I also don’t enjoy the thought of killing animals for our consumption. However, that’s the name of the game, the food chain, and nature.
Humans require animal protein and fats to live a healthy life and thrive.
That’s the way it is, always was, and how it will stay.
I understand if you don’t eat meat for ethical reasons. That is of course your choice and mindset. However, it still means that you’ll be depriving yourself of “essential nutrients” that will keep you healthy and alive much longer.
