Oster1 There was an article I read that vegan diets are adding to the malnutrition in wealthier countries. Veggies get their nutrients from the soil but the nutrients are more and more depleted as nutrients are depleted from the soil.
So in the future, vegan diets will become more and more deficient as our veggies no longer have the vitamins they once had.
To be fair, they go on to say that can easily be mitigated against, for instance supplementation and that yes, one can still be vegan. I'm just adding to the conversation.

Then I can compliment that with veggies, fruit, nuts and squashes.
Can I say the same for a carrot farmed in poor soil and then wondering if it has enough Beta to turn into the usable form of vitamin A?
I have no way of telling where my produce is farmed and how they measure nutrients in the soil. Veggies are still worth eating but as for "only eating veggies" I'll take my changes with animal foods.
