The opposition argument, Kris Gunnars (2015) argues that vegetarianism is bad for human’s health in his writing piece “Vegetarian Diets Are Not Healthy”. He begins his questionable argument with the statement, “Here are 5 reasons why I think vegan (as in no animal foods at all) diets are a bad idea” (Gunnars 2015). He automatically focuses on vegan diets which do not describe all vegetarian diets. Additionally, He argues that B12 is an important nutrient that vegans usually lack, and can’t usually be found in plants (Gunnars 2015).While this is true, vegans can use supplements. Vegetarians can find B12 in eggs and dairy products. Gunnars (2015) also claims that there are no controlled trials which show that these diets are better than others.
