    There is a difference between surviving and thriving and many people are unhealthy believing they are healthy because of the massive amount of misinformation around general health. I can also make a real burger with real meats and veggies for less than the cost of a big mac. I will be healthier for it compared to your “impossible burger”.

    Not only are multivitamins basically worthless, they are also expensive. It is nice to hear you have enough money to spend on a healthy diet as well as enough to waste $25 on placebos.

    There is no replacing a healthy diet and a healthy diet unfortunately involves something else dying. If you don’t like it get on a mass produced cost effective solution to replace meat without losing any of the things we need from it that also doesn’t kill something else.

      We can both agree that a healthy diet gives you all the vitamins and minerals you need. The average American diet (of which I suffer) is not a healthy diet. I’m a sucker for junk food, so I probably don’t get enough vitamins and minerals from my diet all the time. My wife cooks healthy meals, but when I have to cook for myself, I tend to just throw something in the air fryer. I think $4 a month is a reasonable price to make sure I still get vitamins and minerals regardless.

      I don’t know why you put “impossible burger” in quotes. Impossible is the brand name. It’s like saying Oscar Mayer hot dog.

      I hate to break it to you, but burgers aren’t part of a healthy diet. That includes Impossible burgers. If you’re relying on hamburgers to get your necessary vitamins and minerals, you won’t be healthy. You should eat them in moderation, like any junk food.

        Go talk to someone at your education level instead of arguing with me about things you do not understand even when provided some reading material and a clear point.

          Ok, I’m sorry I agreed with you and that you don’t agree that burgers are junk food. I’m assuming you’re a professional nutritionist, since you’re talking with the authority of one.

            I am assuming you are unable to read considering I provided information supporting my point while you ignorantly punch yourself in the face and cry about a point you attempted to make that doesn’t matter and I quickly refuted anyways.

            Fuck off.

              Your point was that a vegan diet is unhealthy and expensive. You haven’t provided any evidence of this.

              The evidence you provided was that multivitamins are unhelpful if you eat a healthy diet. I don’t disagree with that, and I never said otherwise.

              You claimed multivitamins are expensive, and I disagreed. I don’t think that $4 a month is expensive. There are expensive multivitamins, sure, but there are also cheap ones.

              The other tangential point we seem to disagree on is whether hamburgers are a healthy food option. I consider them junk food. You haven’t provided any evidence to the contrary.

              I hope that clears up any confusion.
