Modern Western diet is so disastrous for health (and environment) but no one points that out when saying “a vegan diet is very difficult to make healthy. “

No, rice and beans, staple of billions of people for thousands of years, is less healthy than the current diet most westerners follow, apparently.

The staple diet between the agricultural and industrial revolution is not much healthier, if at all compared to the current western diet. You’re making a reactionary argument that we did it in the past, therefore it is good.

The majority of people living in post-agricultural civilizations suffered some form of malnutrition. It was adequate in terms of calories, but micronutrient deficiency was very widespread.
