vegan food is not deficient...however since vegans do not usualy consume enough fats most of those nutrients are not fully assimilated by the body and this is the reason why most look like they are in the early stages of Aids on their faces ..yes they can be strong and fit but since they loose (especialy males) a small layer of tissue fat ..their faces look unnaturaly skinny similar to the faces of people who are really sick and people observing them can notice it and asociate with malnutrition

@thatfruitarianchick You really don't need enlightening in order to grasp the essential nutrients in meat (assume grass fed, organic). You think I'm stupid. You're going to presume all meat has mercury, then ask me that dumb question? Anyway I'll wait while you go show me the people on this earth, traditional peoples not mad Americans, who ate only fruit. I'll wait.

@DRu9 HA! lol, please enlighten me: what essential nutrients are there in animal products? Since when are mercury, hormones, saturated fats and cholesterol nutrients?

They arent. When you drop the junk and fill up on the nutritious stuff, like fruit (fruit is the most nutritionally dense food for human beings) you realise this. You have been bullshitted big time.

i´m vegan and i feel great, have less anxiety, sleep better. You can live on meats alone...hell, you can live on Big Macs alone, but the quality of your health will be very defficient. You people say that you felt terrible on a raw diet, I think you went about it the wrong way. Besides you can be as raw as you want. I'm only about 50% raw. Just adding alll this raw food has been a major improvement in my health. If you eat some meat and have your veggies raw, you are helping your health big time

I don't eat meat because I don't want uric acid and don't have the uricase enzyme to remove it.

Look, at this point hopefully you look into the eyes of this madman, hear his words, and use your intuition to conclude he is full of shit. Yes, raw food vegan diet is totally deficient. Its a denial of the reality that is our fossil record. His use of what meat is says it all - one extreme to the next . Strangely we find that organic, grass-fed beef to be superior to a Whopper and providing superior essential nutrients than raw veggies (granted, you should eat your veggies).
