As long as he can also extend the quality of life.
Probably, im 43 and still have all my own teeth bar one dental veneer at the front. Do you? Because with an attitude like that you might not keep them long. x

That one I will have to disagree with. If you had the teeth of a true carnivore, you would be able to easily rip the fresh flesh off of a carcass, fur and all. I’d like to see you try that!
Our jaws and teeth are technically strong enough to sever our own fingers from our bodies, we simply don't do it out of self preservation.
In other words, we could absolutely be true carnivores and rip the raw flesh from our food. Remember the Miami Zombie Dude? He ate a guy's face off him. It's a twisted point, but makes mine none the less.
Mongolian nomads, since the days of the Mongols (Genghis Khan) live about 98% off meat their entire lives. Live off the land. Ride hard. Work hard. A hard life out there. And even by modern standards their life expectancy isn't much lower than anywhere else.
The even consume the blood of their herd critters. In fact the Mongol's would drink the blood from their horses from horseback while they rode across the continent.

Yeah but you get b Vitamins from animal meat.. what blood type are you? Certain blood types need meat more than others.
In choosing to use fortified foods or B12 supplements, vegans are taking their B12 from the same source as every other animal on the planet - micro-organisms - without causing suffering to any sentient being or causing environmental damage.

My mistake then sir, just seemed like a rather obtuse statement, or possibly that's just me on this occasion.
I only ever got 2 of my wisdom teeth myself, apparently, they can be murder for some.

Body and muscle runs on proteins brain on carbs they won't know their lives stink anyway.

Who funded this research, Danish bacon?
I can see where he is coming from though, most of the vegetarians and vegans I know are underweight and sallow looking. The ones carrying a bit of weight are cheats I'm guessing.

Is mental retardation caused by veganism or is veganism the cause of mental retardation?

Especially steak or pizza or steak and pizza!
I even eat chicken bones.

Doing Vegan correctly is HARD.
Most don't do Vegan correctly.
I totally agree with that. If one does vegan correctly, one can be very healthy.
I have canine teeth -- I am a carnivore.
That one I will have to disagree with. If you had the teeth of a true carnivore, you would be able to easily rip the fresh flesh off of a carcass, fur and all. I’d like to see you try that! Also, carnivores do not need anything but meat to thrive.
I think actually, humans would be considered omnivores, in that we can survive on both meats and vegetables.
