Going veg/an as a 21 year old actually made me focus on nutrition in a way I might have never otherwise done. You become an expert at reading labels, and there is a lot of people going veg/an for health reasons (even though that wasn't my motivation) so books/magazines/cookbooks had a lot of nutritional info. The best thing for me was instantly cutting off all the junk I used to live on: 7-11 hotdogs, Lil' Debbie's, McDonalds, etc. I don't even see that shit anymore. It's completely invisible to me.
as a non vegan this really opened my eyes
Bro no way this guy got a degree in does eat meat, they must be so smart
I highly doubt cheetos and Mcdonald's is all they eat though. No matter what your diet is, nutrition matters. But once you've got that covered, you deserve a damn snack once in a while.
It does matter, though. Meat, dairy, and eggs supply a lot of vital vitamins and nutrients, so you can't just cut those without having a viable replacement plan. You can kill yourself by going vegan if you don't supplement your vitamin D and B12, as well as your calcium, iron, and protein intake. By all means, go vegan, just think about what your body needs and what you need to do to replace that in a vegan diet.
