Omnivores in western countries tend to eat too little fiber and have their own nutrition deficits.
I’m not even arguing whether a vegan diet is healthier or not, but omnivores shouldn’t assume they’re on easy mode for micronutrients. Everyone should get their blood regularly tested, because waiting for the effects of a vitamin or mineral deficiency to become obvious is not only super unpleasant, but makes the treatment take longer.
Pretending that it is some kind of hard thing to get your friggin b12 has to be a joke.
The “hardest” part ist getting your blood checked (every year), which should be a no brainer for every one. But i bet my ass in america this is some kind of super expensive service.
But that is the mistake. Having a “normal” diet you should also “worry” about your nutrition because malnutrition is more common that people think. Getting your blood checked once in a while is important. Making sure you get enough fruits and vegetables is important. Sure you might not worry about those things, just like a vegan might not worry and simply take a b12 pill every once in a while. It is simply a lazy ass and potentially dangerous move to not care at all about your nutrition.
That said, nobody can or will force you to do any changes to your diet and going vegan for health is the last thing i would recommend. It is an ethical stance, not a diet. Also, eat more veggies, it is good for you.

I didn’t say it was hard, I said it was harder than never worrying about it at all.

Lmfao, wasn’t me saying “yeah hit me” homie.
I’m blind. Nonetheless, they asked before, and they weren’t wrong.
How are your accessibility options for Lemmy now compared to a year ago? Just curious.
Metaphorically blind.
