      You didn’t just say be mindful, you said that you could kill yourself by going vegan. That’s an extreme claim that your interlocutor met with an above average rebuttal.

      B12 is important for vegans, but you will not kill yourself. Any of the deficiencies other than B12 that show up in vegans also show up in omnivores and carnivores, so it’s just as possible for some people, depending on their circumstances, to kill themselves out of a poor diet.

      Why make it seem like vegans are the only ones who need to be mindful of the nutritional value of their food

        I didn’t? I just said that if you cut animal products, making sure you’re getting vital nutrients is important. Clearly I wandered into a hive of American vegans, so I’m just going to block this community, everyone in it, and move on with my life.

          Yeah you did,

          “become vegan, just be mindful of vitamins and proteins your body needs,”

          You’re implying vegans need to be careful of the nutritional value of their food in a way meat eaters don’t.

          Great stuff at the end there, love to see it. You should also go vegan it’s good for your health, the planet and animals :)
