Allegedly....
I do think that last part there is very much worth noting.
It’s not saying it can’t work, it’s been proven to work with some but it’s also putting only their angle on a lot of the things in the story of what we were/weren’t built for. And yes I watched it last night.
To the original question, **** no I couldn’t. I’m a believer that we’re designed to run optimally with many of the nutrients we find in meat. Now, present day can we supplement most/all of that via other means? Of course, but it doesn’t mean we should.
That said, vegetarianism and the likes aren’t new things, we know people can survive and even thrive off of it. But theres no way in hell I’d give up meat personally.
Food/diet conversations are always interesting to me. There’s nothing outside of maybe clothing as trendy or fad driven as diets. This one though at least makes more sense than the stupid GMO or Organic debates...which are both ******** but I digress.
Fun fact (at least as I understand it) GMO and Organic are legally "null" terms. The requirements to meet those criteria are either so vague as to be useless, or non-existent. They're marketing terms, and nothing more.
As for the plant-based diet...I think we'll end up there eventually strictly from an environment impact point of view. Mass farming does a lot of damage to the environment and isn't really sustainable. Maybe better farming practices will come along and we can reach an equitable balance (man I hope so. I looooove bacon) but I think we'll see meat consumption drop a lot in our lifetimes.
