If you eat plant based you are getting more vitamins and minerals than a standard diet, I'm far healthier than my meat and diary eating peers who are nutrient deprived. Whilst they are eating flesh and fat with little nutrional value im eating the rainbow filled with anti oxidants, anti inflamintary foods. My peers get sick and I don't. There is a different between vegan and plant based vegan. Plants have everything we need especially when eating in combination with each other we get more protein calcium and iron from beans but must be eaten with vitamin c for full absorption. U can look at my recipes and get an idea of how nutrient dense my good is.
