I disagree, and I’m worried that this view will prevent adequate nutrition for children more and more frequently (meatless Monday etc). The next step is then preventing adequate nutrition for myself from special taxes or regulations on meat.

Your children will survive not eating meat one day of the week - in fact it's probably beneficial to only eat meat every other day or less (not by eating processed food like beyond/impossible etc just eating "normal" vegetarian meals).
I know a lot of people who eat meat twice a week. That seems like a very good balance.
They would also survive a beating one day per week. I would prefer that their life is optimized for the good.
If you believe that a vegan or vegetarian diet can't supply adequate nutrition, then your information is outdated.

A balanced non meat diet is at the very least as healthy as a balanced meat diet.
This site is such bullshit. I constructively participate in the debate and my opinions are constantly downvoted because you bugmen can't handle real discussion.

fuck off.
