Explain to her that she is advocating for dramatically increased risk of dementia, if you are older. If you are raising children it is worse than that. Imo of course. I'm sure its possible to have proper brain health if you have the wallet and discipline?

don't listen to hhm. you can be perfectly healthy with a vegan diet, tho it probably takes more effort than you are used to spending on food.
but only reason to go vegan is for ecological reasons (animal farming is basically destroying the planet) or for some sense of compassion for animals or something.
its not really necessary to do it for health. if you just want the health benefits, just stop eating processed food, make sure your diet is varied, eat lots of fiber, limit dairy, and try to shift meat to a side rather then center of every meal.

I’m a vegetarian at home (definitely not so outside the house)by default since I’m the cook and the other family members living under my roof are vegetarian. So I’ve learned to cook vegetarian. Not a problem in terms of sourcing product since I have a very large garden year-round. The challenge is in all the prepping and cooking, veggie meals do require more effort and time.
Vegan is next-level, not planning on tackling that one.

My wife recently went vegetarian. Has been doing it a few months and I agree. I cook most of the meals and the prep time can be a *****. We've had some good stuff and also some really bad stuff. Tofu tacos are horrible, FYI. I could never do it full time, but it hasn't bothered me one bit eating less meat.

Did a challenge a couple of months ago and went vegan for a month. It was rough at first, but then once I found some good meat substitutes, it wasn't that bad. Vegan diet is not necessarily healthier. Some of those vegan burgers have a shit ton of sodium. I'm back to eating meat, but now I eat less meat than usual and substitute in some Beyond Meat every once in awhile. One of my buddies in North Carolina has also been growing meat in a lab from cells and has been sending it to me. It's not bad either.
