What Happened To The Vegan Movement? Rich & Simon Hill On The Rise & Fall Of Plant-Based Eating
"It's very hard, impossible to make the argument based on human health alone. When you look at the nutrition science itself, there are a variety of different dietary patterns that lead to great health outcomes. Mediterranean diet, the Mind diet, the DASH diet, vegetarian, vegan, all done in a healthful way with the focus on unprocessed, minimally processed foods, can all be very healthy."
Simon Hill publicly acknowledges that nutrition science does not support claims that plant-exclusive diets are definitively healthier than other dietary patterns. He states the strongest arguments for veganism are ethical and environmental, not health-based, contradicting years of messaging from the plant-based movement that positioned vegan diets as nutritionally superior.
