I just saw a piece in the NY Times about a vegan couple convicted of manslaughter because their 6 week old baby died of malnutrition...yes, malnutrition. These idiots fed their baby soy milk and apple juice INSTEAD OF BREASTMILK! A six week old! I can't get over that.
The author went on to point out that a vegan diet is not an adequate diet (especially for pregnant and nursing moms), which I certainly won't argue with, cause I ain't got the credentials and there are plenty of people that will, but I find it interesting that I stumbled upon it after my post earlier today. Balanced nutrition aside, I know it wasn't a good diet for me, because I spent more time and energy wondering where my next protein fix was coming from; more energy than the stupid beans could provide in the first place!
But, I'm still not convinced that it's an inadequate diet for adults... Lord knows, if you spit in this town, you'd hit at least two vegans, and they seem to be quite sprightly.

I agree that vegans suck. Most of the people I know who went vegan because they wanted to save the environment (how so??? Humans have been eating meat and milk since forever and only in recent history has the environment suffered so much damage) or be "healthier" have since gone back to eating meat and drinking milk. There's no way they could keep up their lifestyles. And it's not just the food but also no leather, no silk, no wool (????), nothing made of gelatin, none of that. There's actually a biological reason why humans depend on animal products for food/energy. I don't know all of that technical stuff, but what I do know is that vegans suck.
