For some reason, when the topic of veganism comes up, people act like everyone is otherwise incidentally healthy due to their omnivore diet when that's obviously not the case. And that somehow making a conscious decision about what you eat for once puts you at risk for being less healthy.

Meanwhile, our foods are fortified with things like calcium and vitamin D because people otherwise don't get enough. In a nation where we all certainly eat enough. Maybe it's indeed time to drop the idea that we don't have to think about what we eat.
