Why have people abandoned veganism? Why is everyone eating meat again? Is this why beef is so expensive?

I follow a ketogenic diet plan, so proteins are important. Honestly, I don't remember a time when meat wasn't expensive...

It’s all fads. People started doing the vegan thing, now they’re over proteined. Both are not healthy. RFK could be educating people, instead he’s pushing conspiracy theories.

There is nothing unhealthy about a vegan diet when done properly.
I've been following it for 20+ years.
Whatever people eat, they have to make sure they get the nutrients their bodies needs and that they account for their own specific situations.
True for vegans. True for vegetarians. True for carnivores.

There’s no way you’re getting the same amount of nutrients from lentils as you would from beef. Go eat a steak.

Mind your own diet and let others do the same for theirs.

I'm a meat-eater, but I definitely agree about minding your own business. I have no idea why anyone cares that other people don't eat things that you eat.

I don’t care, I’m just saying meat and fish is good for you and has nutritional benefits that you can’t get from veggies

Guys, a quick list of who this gross troll is that the mods refuse to ban indefinitely. They will pm you and harass if you ever call them out. Since I'm not exactly afraid of confrontation around here, I will keep posting the list :) Report them before blocking. Maybe the mods will finally do something if we all report. He's bored asinine, and obsessed with this website, for some strange reason. Do not engage.
Block the following since they are the same person (on going list)

I have some idea. The threat to global climate change. Literally our future depends upon it. I admire all vegans, even Highland Guy. The impact of our burger consumption is huge. Noxious gases, valuable resources such as energy and water usage etc. Beef being the worst offender.
I'm not in a position to judge others, still being a meat-eater myself, but I am definitely trying hard to cut down. Alas, easier said than done, much like my departure from BroadwayWorld.

P.S. I can't help but feel for the poor animals, even as I guzzle them down.

Is this how you treat recovering alcoholics who slip up? Digital detoxes are not easy either.
Again, sue me.

Those recovering from substance abuse disorder have real things to overcome. What's stupid about you is that you keep announcing it. Last January you just disappeared, like everyone else does. You announce (twice) thinking people will actually ask you not to leave and care that you are leaving, it's incredibly humorous. Take some advice from your old self and just leave for 9 months. Clearly, it's not as hard as you are making it out to be. I believe in you, Beyonce' Husband!

You're a known troll. I would never have a personal conversation with you nor would I DM you.

Thanks! The previous one was getting old so I figured I'd better change it for the sake of truth in advertising.
