I disagree entirely with all your claims including your original. People don't eat vegan because it's healthier, they do it because we treat animals like shit and are killing the planet.

I won't get into how inhumane the slaughter of animals is but the vast majority of meat bought at your grocery store or chain restaurant was killed in a cruel way. I used to live smack dab in the middle of 3 slaughterhouses and that shit was like a david cronenberg film.
Not to mention the water pollution from the slaughterhouses. Slaughterhouses and animal processing facilities that produce beef, chicken, turkey and other animal products are major water polluters.

I eat certain types of meat but let's not kid ourselves into thinking any of it is ethical. Propaganda, all of it.
Yeah, lots of vegan propaganda there. Blogs are not peer reviewed sources by the way.
Edit: I see your new sources and they are all bull shit.

They are calculating it wrong. I can pull up many more sources but it's not like you are going to read them.
Did you just say:
and then try to debunk with a medium post?
