"Putting children on strict vegan diets is "unethical" and could harm their development, a US scientist has argued."
This is not shocking. The plain truth is humans are omnivores, and need their meats and animal proteins. Vegans are another example of idiots trying to change what is common sense as proven by thousands of years of habits.
"The Vegan Society dismissed the claims, saying its research showed vegans were often healthier than meat eaters."
I can pick out vegans and vegetarians in no time - they look wan, drawn, pale green w/the look of death, and are invariably skinny overall. Not exactly healthy, I think.
"The society does recommend that vegans supplement their diet with vitamin B-12 pills."
Then their whole premise is a sham.
You haven't meant many 7th Day Adventists, I take it. Or Rastafarians. Or Buddhist monks. The Dalai Lama looks quite healthy by the way. So does Paul McCartney.
