Well there are some that say that minerals on vegetables are not bio-available for the human digestive system, so in the end doesn't make a lot of difference.
This is nonsense. Perhaps you mean something like “less bio-available compared to...”
I phrased it incorrectly, you are spot on "much less bio-available when compared with animal products"
We feed plant products to our animal products. If the plants are not nutritious, animal products become more expensive. I don't think animal products will prevent wealthier people from being priced out of their necessary nutrition.
It's better to think of the long-term cycle. Ruminants in regenerative management, for instance, increase the richness of the soil over time. Whereas it's very hard to do that with crops.
Minerals in meat come from bioaccumulation of minerals in feed, though, so the problem works its way up the food chain.
> some that say
who?
For example people following the Carnivore diet.
And that must make it true than lol People following the latest diet fad must have all the knowledge in the world that hundreds of millions of people before them missed.
Soups and other slow cooking methods release minerals from veggies.
