    TF would you have them eating for protein? Hummus? Gruel? Peanut butter and beans are some of the best proteins on earth pound for pound. I say this as a meat eater.

      I think plant proteins are lacking in something. I’m sympathetic to vegitarianism, but their brains shrink like 7% or something after a number of years it’s been reported.

        I’m gonna need to see some sources on that one. I seriously doubt that any credible studies have shown anything of the sort.

          I’ll save the nonsense response you would’ve gotten from the person who says “something like 7%” without a source.

          The credible studies say that simply cutting meat can cause some deficiencies like iron and b12 that you have to be mindful of. If not, there are negative reproductions on things like cognitive ability.

          People who can’t fathom vegetarianism read that and think “vegetarians brains shrink” instead of “vegetarians know this and adjust their diet to maximize the missing stuff (or take supplements)”

          It was reported in the newspapers maybe 15 years back. Believe the study, or no, I don’t give a fuck.
