Like it or not, humans are made of meat. We dont have ruminant bellies like gorillas or cows that can convert vegis into protein.
Can they combine food to get the protein they need, sure. But that takes WAAAAY more knowledge and consistency than even what BBers do. Hence the HIV-addled look most have. On the other hand, Bill Pearl did it, supposedly.
Ive dealt with this recently. My sister was pregnant at 35 and a long time Vegan, she just doesnt like meat, not political. She got preggo and with support from her asshole hippie friends, kept it vegan. And lost the baby.
She had some bloodwork done and it was terrible, hormones all out of whack, Thyroid was nil etcetera.
Sedond try now, she's in her 8th month and eating meat by the plateload. She feels better, the fetus is healthy, all appears to be going well! My fingers are crossed.
We are made of it, that simple.
Bill Pearl was vegetarian, not strict vegan. He ate eggs and milk... maybe even fish. Big difference between vegetarian and vegan.
