“Alternative” nutrition takes the life of a baby
I don’t have a problem with vegans, although I tend to view veganism as more cultish than anything else. Certainly it’s possible for an adult to remain reasonably healthy on a strictly vegan diet, but it’s difficult (and, for me, it would be quite unsatisfying). Other than for strictly religious or moral reasons, I could never understand why vegans will not eat dairy products, which will more easily supply certain needed proteins and fats, or even eggs, which, because they are unfertilized, are not the same as killing animals for food. However, live and let live, I usually say. The only people harmed or helped by vegan diets are those who follow them. Given that, such diets are usually personal choices and none of my business.
