I’m a vegan who doesn’t care what anyone else eats. But I am in excellent health — I’m 5’10 and 130 pounds, my blood pressure is 90 over 70, my cholesteral is in the low range, my iron is high enough and my blood is good enough for me to donate platelets once a week, and I go on 70 mile backpacking trips. And I haven’t had a cavity since I was in elementary school.

For being a platelet donor, you have my love and admiration. I think platelet donors are the greatest folks in the world. I work in apheresis, so I know how we ask a lot of your time and sometimes put you through some discomfort. I was making a generalization based on what I see at school. I have met several self- righteous vegans. Keep up the good work, I am gonna bite into some steak!
