Debate: Non-vegan foods should be banned worldwide.
Side: No, I reject the resolution.

Lol, Jace I read through all the links. [...] effect would be minimal.Evidently, you still have not read most of my references or arguments. If you had, you would know that my argument is not to just add insects to the menu alongside a hamburger. You would also know that I have advanced the entomophagy argument on multiple fronts - world hunger, health, politics, economy, etc. - and not just the environmental. You have reduced my actual arguments and their references to strawmen, rather than responding to them and their references; hardly surprising, since that is what you have done from the start. It is easy to dismiss an argument you have misrepresented, and easier still when you never bother to prove most of your own claims.It is only after numerous posts challenging you to address my arguments that you have at last deigned to respond to one single reference out of context. Since I finally have something to respond to, I will.This sounds true. Yet, its common knowledge that vegetarians and vegans are in the minority. That many are ethical vegetarians/vegans who don't know that much about nutrition.Not only is there no reason to assume that the average omnivore is more informed about their nutrition than the average vegetarian/vegan, your own references and argumentation already suggest that they are less informed. Additionally, since most vegetarians/vegans also choose their diet deliberately due to ethics they are already being more intentional about what they eat than their average omnivore counterparts. Despite both of these factors, the average vegetarian/vegan still has nutritional deficiencies relative to their average omnivore counterparts which does indicate that the vegan diet is relatively deficient. This underscores what the research referenced by my link already shows to be true: a healthy vegan diet is considerably more difficult to obtain than a balanced omnivore diet, and impossible to obtain at all without supplements (which I have multiple standing arguments against).Now look at the link 17. Vitamin D in the winter. In other words the vegans didn't go outdoors enough to receive enough sunlight and vitamin D in the winter.This is really basic, but seasonal vitamin D deficiency has nothing to do with how much time one spends outdoors; if it did, the deficiency would not be seasonal. The reason there is vitamin D deficiency in winter is because there literally are not enough daylight hours to sustain healthy levels of absorption from the sun alone. We have to consume it, which is obviously a problem for vegans as evidenced by this research.This doesn't mean that they were undernourished. If the omnivores had too much of each, then the vegans would be in the normal range.While some nutrients are mentioned ambiguously in link 10, the reference also explicitly identifies multiple nutritional deficiencies relative to the RNI (recommended nutritional intake). Notably, B12 and iron with resultant haematological concerns.Now B12 is a problem "The vegans all had B12 intakes below the RNI; and 35% of the long-term vegetarians and vegans had serum vitamin B12 concentrations below the reference range." This is why B12 supplements make sense.Except that I have presented multiple arguments with references indicating that supplements are problematic, to which you have never responded. I refer you to my earlier analysis rather than repeating it (again). Also in the same article, the vegans had higher fiber intakes. Fiber is known for its health benefits.The article indicates that fiber intake was higher, not healthier; are you being deliberately inconsistent with your criticism of the reference or just stupid? This is also irrelevant insofar as you have not addressed my standing arguments about your over-generalization of all possible omnivore diets into one single model (esp. the erasure of entomophagy). Now link 18, again with B12 [...]All you did was quote the article indicating lower rates of B12 and higher rates of plasma homocysteine concentration. Did you intend to actually make an argument, or...I could go through every link that your sole links references, but instead I will jump to the conclusion.Yes, why be thorough and actually address arguments and references in their entirety. Such integrity to critical reasoning is inconvenient to dogmatic belief, after all. Much easier to engage the good old confirmation bias and jump to your conclusions, rather than actually prove them.That was also not my sole reference; I provided others on entomophagy which are pertinent to vegan nutrition (as well as further references on other matters that you still have not responded to at all.) In other words Jace your link supports my claim. It proves everything I've been stating. That there are vegans who eat bad diets and are deficient. Yet, its entirely possible to a healthy vegan diet. Thanks for the link btw.Only if you take parts of it completely out of context. The second sentence following the one you quoted: "If fortified foods are absent from the diet, the use of specific supplements for these micronutrients is encouraged." I have multiple standing arguments against fortified foods and supplements, which this article identifies as necessary to a healthy vegan diet. Until you have addressed those points, this link does not support your claim at all.fatsickandnearlydeadApparently, your best counter-reference to the scientifically based summary of the literature i provided is a popular media documentary. Hardly compelling, particularly given that it commits the same generalized omnivorism fallacy I have already criticized you for repeatedly (to which you have, again, not responded).
