    Based on scientific evidence, animal products are not necessarily unhealthy for individual humans. As far as I know at least, the coronary deseases you’ve mentioned are mainly caused by red meat and saturated fats.

    Even though an average vegan diet is healthier than an average omnivore diet, you can eat perfectly healthy as an omnivore. Likewise, you can live of only junkfood as a vegan.

    Veganism from my perspective should be about stopping animal abuse and protecting the planet. If humanity keeps going as is, climate change will be what will lead to insane suffering to both animals and humans. Veganism is a key part to lower the impact of what’s ahead of us.

    Despite the importance of the topic, we should stick to the facts. Comparing every non-vegan diet to drinking anti-freeze is absolutely ridiculous.

      There is no healthy amount of meat you can eat. Research “meat all cause mortality” on google scholar or pubmed. You’re effectively saying that there is a threshold of antifreeze consumption that is survivable. It’s never healthy.
