curious how do you get some essential vitamins and minerals that are only found in meat,eggs and dairy. Specifically ...
Choline an essential mineral really only found in egg yolk
Direct vitamin A found in eggs and meats which is different than beta carotine
b12 which is only found in animal sources
zinc from food since its usually in high quantities in seafood and meat.
Don't eat any eggs.
One great source for Vitamin A Sweet Potatoes, and another, well, most dark leafy greens. Carrots are great too.
The B12 from meat isn't really absorbed that well into the body. So even meat eaters are technically B12 deficient too, just not as severely deficient as vegans. Our ape ancestors got their B12 from eating bugs, and food/water with fecal contamination.
The best way to get B12 for both vegans and meat eats is from a pill.
With Zinc, you can get plenty of zinc from Cocoa, Spinach, Nuts, Beans...

Mike, casein is made from animals?

Also, what are these guys eating that might be interacting with the Choline? Maybe it's that interaction that causes cancer. Maybe Choline is found wear muscles anything that grows in the body happen. Can we really make the jump to say that Choline is the cause of cancer?
Is it naive to just single out one element of a diet without taking into consideration the other parts?

The potency of phytoestrogens in soy isolate is very low. It only affects people with estrogen deficiency, which is what happens in menopause. It’s extremely low in soy concentrate (due to the way it is treated and extracted). If your testosterone is dropping because you ingested soy, the problem is not the soy, but your overall health. Fix your sleep, fix your diet, lift weights, and worrying about soy is like worrying you had one hair fall out.

Every other time I read my Twitter feed, some prominent blogger from the manosphere will tweet something about how veganism is unmanly, or associate veganism with feminist hipster culture. They reinforce this with the notion that "meat is for men!" But is that truly so? Does this sentiment hold water on empirical level?
I haven't found any conclusive evidence that it's necessary to eat any meat whatsoever to maintain or increase testosterone levels, the opposite seems to be true (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2374537/).
Eating too much saturated fat from animal sources can lead to erectile dysfunction (which isn't very masculine). See: http://www.nature.com/ijir/journal/v18/n...1438a.html
Trying to build muscle? You don't need to eat any meat.

As a man that describes himself as a vegan, I'm confused by the anti-vegan sentiment. Veganism is just a blanket term that many people use to quickly identify themselves as a person that eats an exclusively plant based diet, in other words, a person that abstains from consuming anything derived from an animal source. This is why I call myself a vegan, and personally eating this way was a health related choice; I don't vibe with the kumbaya PETA crowd, far from it. I'm a gun loving libertarian guy that reads manosphere blogs daily.
I am well aware that the slightest utterance of the word "vegan" conjures up images of scrawny hipsters, new age hippies, and head-shaved pansexual feminists. It's apparent that veganism has an image problem, but I'd rather not let these disgusting losers co-opt the term veganism as part of their collective, anti-hetero identity.
Whether women like it or not, they follow our lead as men. We have to set a good example for women to follow. If more men ate a plant based diet, I think women would feel more pressure to check their dietary habits. They'd stand out eating garbage. You would see fewer instances of obesity in men, which would be followed by fewer instances of obesity in women.

If we look at our anatomy, we can clearly see that we aren't build to digest lots of meat. Eating lots of meat is - quite frankly - bad for you. If we look at our closest cousins the chimpanzees, we see that their diet consists of merely 7% meat, most of which is actually bugs, not real animal meat.

Look, I'm not going to give you a whole biology lesson on our digestive system here, Google for some scientific articles if you want to know the fine details. But anyone who knows biology 101 knows that carnivores and true omnivores have short and smooth digestive tracts, with high levels of hydrochloric acid, build to digest low-fiber foods like meat, while herbivores on the other hand have incredibly long digestive tracts build to digest high-fiber foods, like vegetables and fruits.
Guess what kind of digestive system humans have?
Edit: As for Eskimos, they mostly eat fish, not real meat, big difference.

This is 100% true. But lets be fair here, the vast majority of people are either unaware of this fact, or can't afford real grass-fed biological meat. 99% of us eat sick animals, not healthy ones.
Luckily I can afford grass-fed biological meat, and so when I do eat meat (usually 3 to 4 times a week), I'll make sure to get proper meat from an healthy animal raised on a local farm and butchered by a local butcher.

OT, but this thread is really engaging:
How do animals who have exclusively plant based diets get so muscular?
Bulls, hippopotami, elephants, rhino, and if i remember right, gorillas, are all enormously strong despite subsisting on plants. Even if you compare with vegans/veggies in really good health, they seem unusually powerful animals.
Do their digestive systems give them access to amino acids humans can't use?

Its totally affordable.... it is just how you approach it... First off if you can't afford the steaks, buy the ground beef... secondly buy directly from the farmer... I think at this point it would be impossible to not find a grass fed farm outside out of any major city in north america.... Also learn how to make pate's and shit like that using the organs... It is delicious and has way more nutrients that a steak... Also splitting a half cow with a friend or 2 will save you tremendous money... Same goes for the eggs... I get them directly from the farmer.... I buy 12-15 dozen at a time... In Vancouver I am currently paying around $3 bucks for a dozen... Also save the bones so you can make your own broths... No need for Ali's collagen supplements when you make your own bone broth
