Except you know, all the people I've seen who are vegans. I'd like to believe your tale of perfect health but I hear the same argument from smokers all the time.

Uh yeah, the thing that keeps you from dying, white blood cells and the energy you generally need to maintain it. Including vitamins. I agree with your 'diet high in animal proteins has been shown to leech calcium from the bones' but that's if you like…eat a more meat then veggie diet/eat to much in general.

Also I'd love to agree with your 'FDA says so' statement but…they're the same people who's diet would have made the world obese as it had way to much you were suppose to consume. Also the FDA is usually in someone's pocket or another's so I like to go by the: eat what is healthy that I know by practice, personal history and family health.

Your 'meat is not necessary' could also be seen as utterly ignorant as people still need the damn proteins/vitamins/oils in meat to live. A healthy balanced diet is what is needed, you don't heal a cut on your arm by amputating the whole damn arm.

No, really, I promise you, I'm not a zombie. I'm sure [livejournal.com profile] cypherwulf isn't, either.

On a serious note, I think there can be a degree of classism or city-centrism among vegans, where it doesn't occur to everyone that some people -- usually poorer people -- live in areas that are basically food deserts, and where access to the necessaries for a healthy vegan diet is not always feasible. This is one of the reasons why I don't think judging or shaming people for not being veg is the way forward, and I think it's often disregarded when people try to emphasize how easy it is to be healthy on a vegan diet.

But if you do have access to the resources, and the time/energy to cook your own meals, it's entirely possible, and not that hard. And a blanket statement like the one above is just hilariously wrong.

(Edited b/c I accidentally implied that all vegans were middle-class, and I know that's totally not the case!)
