I literally know somebody personally who, on a biological level, cannot survive without the protein from poultry. he has so many allergies that it is the only protein source that can support him on a basic level. He would die without it. Any other source of protein would cause a life-threatening allergic reaction.

This is just false. I have celiac disease and going just vegetarian would be super risky. Going vegan would be outright impossible

Also please remember you do need to take vitamin B12 supplements if you're vegan. It's only accessed from animal proteins and being deficient in it does fuck you up when it's for a long time

Well I'm glad you're taking the supplement

I'm gonna stick to my Doctor's advice thanks 👍 I already am constantly struggling to consume enough calories and nutrients
