Vegan. Never met one that didn’t have serious medical issues they didn’t dismiss as having nothing to do with being idiots. They are usually in very poor health.

While it's hard to be healthy as a vegan, it can be done as a vegetarian who also eats egg and milk products. A friend of one of my kids is that kind of vegetarian, and she's a healthy athlete.

Sure, because you are introducing the proteins needed. I know a number of non-meat eating people that use dairy products just fine.

While it's hard to be healthy as a vegan,

I dont know why people here keep repeating this nonsense. It is not hard to be healthy as a vegan. I've been doing it for years and feel great. I believe the alternative is what leads to long term health issues.
