Why do people say Veganism is unhealthy?
Sorry, but as a vegan I must disagree. To say that Veganism is a unhealthy is beyond insensitive. And if you're such a natural predator, I dare you to go chase down a chicken, kill it with your bare hands and teeth, and eat it raw. That's what predators do, after all! Let's look at our closest relatives, chimpanzees. They're natural omnivores, but while only about 1 percent of their diet is made of real meat, about 4 percent is made of insects - and the rest is plants. So, evolutionarily, you should eat ants and termites instead of chickens and cattle.
