        Practically everyone - omni, vegan, or anyone else - needs to substitute B12 fyi as even meat does not contain enough of it. Take a supplement a day and you’re golden

        You gotta be dumb as fuck to get B12 deficiency, no matter your dietary choices. Your mind is stuck in the past, try to live in today’s world.

      Do you have any sources for that? Especially about meat causing limper dick than veganism?

        I found a couple - not sure how credible they are:

        https://www.diabetes.co.uk/news/2024/feb/vegan-lifestyle-associated-with-reduced-risk-of-erectile-dysfunction.html

        https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34979217/

        Additionally, rather anecdotal evidence, a lot of vegan reddit users also claimed to have better erections iirc. From personal experience, I can support that claim too.

        It would make sense, though, since vegan diets have a positive effect on your cardiovascular system, directly leading to less clogged arteries and better blood flow.

          But that would point to a less fatty diet being the cause, not specifically the not eating meat part

          Sorry, I don’t take hearsay as evidence.

          Truth is, there is little evidence suggesting benefits of veganism beyond being good for the environment. The “benefits” people are seeing is simply a result of an overlapping Venn diagram between vegans and people who exercise well and take care of themselves. Correlation is not causation.

          While veganism has been shown to decrease the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic syndrome, it also carries the potential for micro- and macronutrient deficits. It should be noted that vegans often have better socioeconomic levels, live a healthier lifestyle with more physical exercise, and tend to smoke less compared to non-vegetarians, making it difficult to isolate the effects of veganism in observational research. Existing research is often skewed by selection bias, which is when the study sample is chosen based on prior eating patterns and such studies are often recruited in environments with a high level of health awareness.
