Why do meat eaters season their food with plants if meat is so great?

I know you neurotypical people have a hard time picking up on my sarcasm. So let me explain, this is me making fun of people who make fun of me for eating meat replacements.

Now before anyone says anything further, I loved eating meat. It’s just that I don’t love it enough to support the death of animals. I don’t care what you eat but I’ve dealt with a lot of people giving me a hard time and asking me stupid questions in the 16 years I’ve been vegetarian.

My diet is mostly plants with some meat.

Meat is the only source for vitamin B12, complete proteins, Carnosine, Heme iron, Taurine. There are supplements but they are not utilized by the body anywhere near as well as the natural thing.

When a person gets older meat in the diet becomes more important to health.

@badminton as I recall, algae has b12. I don’t take supplements and I’ve been vegetarian for 16 years with no deficiencies. My grandfathers brother passed away at 86 and was a vegetarian since his 20’s. Dairy also provides complete proteins. Mind you, I am not vegan. Eggs also have B12.

Now go tell this to a good portion of the Indian population. Vegetarians have been around for centuries.
