Ask HN: How to become a vegan?
In a totally neuter tone. Why do you identify vegan + pills with &quot;healthy diet&quot; and omnivorous with &quot;unhealthy diet&quot;? A diet that leads to nerve damage unless you add suplements to avoid it, do not sounds to me as &quot;healthy&quot; by definition.<p>Lets say that &quot;vegans live longer&quot;. This is our null hypothesis. Is the percentage of pure vegans among the longest living people in the world significatively higher?<p>Jeanne Calment: Smoker. Some alcohol. Active. Diet rich in olive oil and lots of chocolate. 122 Yo.<p>Susannah Mushatt Jones. Sleeping a lot and eating bacon each day. 116 Yo<p>Jiroemon Kimura. Favourite food, pickled mackerels. 116 Yo<p>Christian Mortensen. Moderated smoker, not alcohol, active, diet with a lot of potatoes and vegetables. Some meat. 115 Yo.<p>Emiliano Mercado: Eating corn and codfish each day. 115 Yo.<p>...<p>As a footnote, I&#x27;ll only buy a book titled &quot;I will show you how to live forever&quot; or so, if it was written by an author 100 years old at least.
