Hi guys!
I'm sure this would have been discussed at some point before but yesterday a discussion with some vegetarian friends featured the titled gem of a statement.
Apparently being vegan was 'not sustainable for long term health, for pregnant women or children, which is why there are none and have never been any documented vegan societies ' .
I assumed the answer would be something akin to 'Well, we they didn't always have b12 supplements or fortified foods' or ' Well, nutritional knowledge about balanced diets is reaching new heights' or ' Well , we're more aware of the environmental and ethical effects of what we do now/here and have choices about it ' or a combo of the three.
What are your thoughts on this?
NB. I'm currently vegan but actually thinking about including eggs , so I'm coming at this from a fairly impartial standpoint
Just curious.
