Require? How do you explain why all vegans haven’t died of malnutrition? There are benefits to having animal proteins, sure, and yes the human body is intended to be omnivorous, but to say that humans REQUIRE animal proteins is a stretch.

You won’t “die” of malnutrition if your a vegan, but you will definitely be less capable physically than your peers with a more balanced diet.

If it were up to me, I wouldn’t allow vegetarians in the army.
