I think what they're trying to say is that most people who just run headlong into different diets don't always do proper research or they just rely on word of mouth for their food. For example, there was this local news story a few years ago about this guy who made his vegetarian daughter sick because all he would feed her was basically lettuce, baby carrots, tomatoes, mushrooms, french fries and apple juice or water. To him, that was vegetarian. Thankfully her mom was smarter and got her on a healthier diet but still.

Plus, you make a point of saying you and your family ate varied meals, whereas most people who try new diets don't do that and they wind up eating the same meals over and over and getting sick as a result. Like, you hear all these horror stories about people trying to go full vegan and because they don't do the research but instead rely simply on what they 'know' about being a vegan, they wind up with malnutrition from eating nothing but boiled pasta or toast for almost a month because all the foods they're used to eating have some form of animal product in them.

Heck, just google 'vegan parents kill child' and you'll get a whole host of horror stories but the most famous one is the case of Louise Le Moaligue, an 11-month old baby whose death can be linked directly to her parents' strict vegan diet (though granted their equally strict adherence to practicing alternative medicine had a big hand in it too).
