>> I’ve never met a vegan who wasn’t crazy.
I knew one — years ago. She was a vegan animal lover but not the least bit “in your face” about it. It was just her principle and she stuck by it.
She had twin daughters when I knew her. She included meat in their diet because she didn’t think a vegan diet was healthy for young children.
One time we were discussing that book about the airplane that crashed in the Andes and some of the survivors ate other dead passengers. She said if she was one of the survivors, she’d do exactly the same thing to stay alive. Now THAT was a surprise!
She was closer to reality than most. Vegans always say they’re animal lovers but usually think the extinction of domestic animals is a good thing.
But when it came down to it, I’m glad she did right by her kids. As this article demonstrates, a vegan diet is harmful to deadly to children.
