The federal government is proposing financial incentives for farmers in lieu of cutting enteric methane emissions that are released in the air when cows burp.

It really is not! Vegan diets require an awareness of nutrition that isn't trivial. It's not hard to do, but it takes a level of planning! It is irresponsible to suggest otherwise.

Every diet requires planning, which is why non-vegans have nutritional deficiencies. It's naive to suggest otherwise.

Agreed, though the odd egg or chunk of meat helps a lot with nutrition. Supplementing with nutritional yeast, flaxseeds, chiaseeds, green leafy vegetables... you have to be more aware about iron, B vitamins, omega fatty acids than you would be with a diet that includes eggs, dairy, and meat.

I advocate people reduce meat, but without a good fundamental knowledge, it's a little risky to go full vegan.
