Not only that, but also vegan diet is literally making people crazy (or crazy people are more often on vegan diet, dealer's choice).

The majority of studies, and especially the higher quality studies, showed that those who avoided meat consumption had significantly higher rates or risk of depression, anxiety, and/or self-harm behaviors. There was mixed evidence for temporal relations, but study designs and a lack of rigor precluded inferences of causal relations. Our study does not support meat avoidance as a strategy to benefit psychological health.

    This study was funded in part via an unrestricted research grant from the Beef Checkoff, through the National Cattlemen's Beef Association.

    This is a metastudy not an original study though?

    It means this metastudy is less of a study and more of an advertisement. The outcome of a metastudy depends even more on who does it, especially if they make up the criteria for which research is "good" enough to include.

    I think people on the left as whole would be more prone to depression and anxiety too. People who care about the world are generally more concious, more self-aware and critical, which turn into more worrying and at the extreme, anxiety.

    I mean, the part you cited already mentioned it but later in the study it's stated even more clearly:

    Across all studies, there was no evidence to support a causal relation between the consumption or avoidance of meat and any psychological outcomes.

    A sentence later it says

    These authors posited that mental disorders may lead to the adoption of a meat-less diet. The authors stated that individuals with mental disorders may “choose a vegetarian diet as a form of safety or self-protective behavior”

    And I wrote

    or crazy people are more often on vegan diet, dealer’s choice

    You wrote

    You were wrong about that, just walk it back dude, it's not a big deal, it's okay to be wrong about things.

    Also, people with anxiety and depression aren't widely considered to be "crazy".

    Reading comprehension my dude. I wrote A or B, study says A or B.

    I am honestly and genuinely trying to help you out here. I used to struggle to accept when I was wrong about something because it made me feel stupid, but in reality, people actually respect you a lot more when you demonstrate that you can admit when you're wrong about things.

    You don't need to concede the whole argument, just a simple "oh yeah, you're right, the first part was definitely wrong, but I stand by the second part" would be a solid step in the right direction.

    Anyways, feel free to take my advice or not, I don't really care about the thing you're arguing about, I just saw someone who I thought I could maybe help avoid some of the problems I had in life.

    All the best!

    Wrong.

    (or crazy people are more often on vegan diet, dealer’s choice).

    Mmm, no, there is a right answer and it's this one. Well, it's this one with more inclusive language. Like "People who have experienced more hardship with psychological consequences are more likely to avoid consumption of animal products".

    People who have experienced more hardship

    Doesn't match the data. Study and raw data say nothing about the hardships.
