    Not only that, but also vegan diet is literally making people crazy (or crazy people are more often on vegan diet, dealer’s choice).

    Source: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/10408398.2020.1741505#abstract

    The majority of studies, and especially the higher quality studies, showed that those who avoided meat consumption had significantly higher rates or risk of depression, anxiety, and/or self-harm behaviors. There was mixed evidence for temporal relations, but study designs and a lack of rigor precluded inferences of causal relations. Our study does not support meat avoidance as a strategy to benefit psychological health.

      I think people on the left as whole would be more prone to depression and anxiety too. People who care about the world are generally more concious, more self-aware and critical, which turn into more worrying and at the extreme, anxiety.

      I mean, the part you cited already mentioned it but later in the study it’s stated even more clearly:

      Across all studies, there was no evidence to support a causal relation between the consumption or avoidance of meat and any psychological outcomes.

        A sentence later it says

        These authors posited that mental disorders may lead to the adoption of a meat-less diet. The authors stated that individuals with mental disorders may “choose a vegetarian diet as a form of safety or self-protective behavior”

        And I wrote

        or crazy people are more often on vegan diet, dealer’s choice

          You wrote

          You were wrong about that, just walk it back dude, it’s not a big deal, it’s okay to be wrong about things.

          Also, people with anxiety and depression aren’t widely considered to be “crazy”.

              I am honestly and genuinely trying to help you out here. I used to struggle to accept when I was wrong about something because it made me feel stupid, but in reality, people actually respect you a lot more when you demonstrate that you can admit when you’re wrong about things.

              You don’t need to concede the whole argument, just a simple “oh yeah, you’re right, the first part was definitely wrong, but I stand by the second part” would be a solid step in the right direction.

              Anyways, feel free to take my advice or not, I don’t really care about the thing you’re arguing about, I just saw someone who I thought I could maybe help avoid some of the problems I had in life.

              All the best!

                what they said is true.

                I used to struggle to accept when I was wrong about something
