Is it better to eat a vegan diet or a meat-based diet?

A report by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), after reviewing more than 500 studies, concluded that animal-based food sources provide "essential nutrients".

This source includes protein, fat, and carbohydrates, as well as iron, calcium, and zinc, which are essential for health and development.

A new study has concluded that a vegan diet is "less healthy" than a diet including meat, eggs, and dairy.

However, these macronutrients and micronutrients are difficult to find "in the necessary quality and quantity" if following a vegan diet, according to the FAO, as reported by the Daily Mail.

They noted that meat, eggs, and dairy are "especially important" for children, young people, and the elderly, as well as pregnant and breastfeeding women.

The report indicates that meat, eggs, and dairy provide important nutrients such as high-quality protein, fatty acids, iron, calcium, zinc, selenium, and vitamin B12.
