I very much don't want to have to kill animals for food but meat is such an unreplaceable source of easily digestible nutrients. I've been looking at communities like /r/exvegans and /r/stopeatingseedoils and... They're pretty convincing...

And I'm hungry all the time and my poops are never solid and I get tired sooner than I think I should... But I also never get sick...

I'm tempted to just listen to the drugs on this one, like I didn't choose to be a carnivorous monkey. Hmmmm. I've been craving a steak so badly. Ugh. Urgh.

    Are you being serious right now? This isn't true, like, at all.

    On the off chance this is true and not just an antivegan bait post, I'll give you two pieces of advice: if you're hungry all the time, eat more. If your poops aren't solid, eat more fiber. Beans, tofu, whole grains, they're all your friends.

    Oh, and take B12 if you're not already. It's the one nutrient that's harder to get as a vegan than a carnist, because the animals carnists eat have been supplemented with B12, and some of it is still present in their dead flesh

      Well the amount of fiber is the issue. It gives me stomach pain and makes me sleepy and stupid. I've been eating a good vegetarian diet with plenty of beans etc but it just doesn't work for me.
