Hmmm. Survive, yes. Thrive, that depends on how you define thrive. I didn’t feel good about taking supplements, obsessively reading labels and missing the taste (not the comfort, nostalgia, or whatever was mentioned in the other thread, the actual TASTE) of meat, so I didn’t feel like I was “thriving” on a veggie diet. Also not totally buying the bad for you part. There are studies that show that nearly everything is bad for you and just as many that show that those same things are good for you. I’ll give you that factory farming is bad for the environment, so I’ll keep buying local, grass-fed, small farm type stuff. Animal suffering- a slippery slope and depends on where you get your meat from and how much you care about farm animals. In short, not convinced that eating meat is bad. But I can understand and accept that people make the choice not to do it.
