then there is the question: do people with mental health issues tend to gravitate towards veganism or is the diet itself is causing the issues.
I would like to see a study with a large number of participants from diverse backgrounds who are meat eaters and then go vegan and see if that affects their mental health. However a meat eater who is then forced to eat soy products/meat substitutes they dislike may be unhappy for that very reason. Its a difficult test condition to say the least.
You could have seven groups with varying levels of choice: group 1 is forced to be vegan, group 4 is the control group, and group 7 is forced to consume meat. Groups 2-3 would be nudged vegan, 5-6 would be nudged to eat meat.
Measure them all and get happiness and health curves after 5, 10, 15 years.
It would be expensive, but probably a better use of money than a lot of other stuff.
