I would sneak bacon fat into all vegan dishes if I didn't have morals.
It sucks having morals.

My retinas started disintegrating because I stopped eatting eggs. Good luck being a vegan.

Indeed, it takes much more vegetables to get 5000 calories.
I do eat vegetables, they provide nutrition. But so does meat.
Some amino acids a human requires for good health are available from vegetables, but the rest are only found in meat.

I lived on rice and beans for years due to food allergies. I rarely even ate fish.
One of my relatives looked up various documents, and informed me such a diet lacked 3 essential amino acids.
Both my retinas were failing. I have had laser surgery on both to put them back together. I noticed my vision lessening. I had pro=blems seeing at night or dusk. I started eating eggs again, and my eyesight improved.
It did take over 20 years, but my eyes did start failing. From around 5 years of opthamologist's retina exams, my retinas are now fine. I can see at night and at dusk.
The only difference is I gave up a vegetable only diet.
edit:
I'm not trying to dictate to anyone... I am just talking about my personal experience and how I almost went blind due to a vegetable only diet.

The majority of the world lives on beans, rice and vegetables. Variety of bean type is often key to getting complete complimentary proteins. Most vegans need soy in their diet.

Also, there are other micronutrients that need managing. Phosphatidylcholines, vitamin B12, folate, n-3 and n-6 fatty acids, and various other essential nutrients are more easily obtained from animal sources. Some individuals also have a need for ordinarily nonessential nutrients such as taurine because of congenital defects in biosynthesis pathways.Rasty wrote:

I'm adding eggs to my cheeseburgers from now on.
I was actually thinking of the possiblilty that it was taurine. If native activity of cysteine sulfinic acid decarboxylase is low, the body can't make taurine. In dogs and cats, at least, taurine deficiency leads specifically to retinopathy.TrafficJam wrote:
Lutein. Eggs are a good source and the body absorbs it best through the egg yolk.
