What matters most is your overall way of eating and living.

I didn't grow up vegan or vegetarian. I grew up with junk food!

I think we do need to worry about a food shortage, but we also need to worry about the quality of the food. A lot of the stuff that's marketed to us tastes delicious because it fools our bodies.
