Spouting vegan philosophy and being a strict vegan are two different
things. Ask any ex-vegan for the truth of their situation.

No it wouldn't. If that hypothetical vegan was sickly and/or unable to
reproduce it would support the contention. I still have yet to meet a
vegan-from-birth ever.

Hmmm...your sticking to "millions of vegans" (after hedging to "mostly
vegetarian with a vegan base" whatever that is supposed to mean) and
talking about exact facts?

Amadeus, it seems you have internalized a lot of ethical vegan hooey and it
may be altering the way you can see reality. If it is all so lovely why do
you consume animal foods in any amount? Why don't you go full monty and
become a raw vegan--they are so veeerry veeeerrrryy pure and ethical you
know?

Sometimes it seems that the "arguments" you have with this list are almost
internal dialogues with yourself. Who are you trying to convince? Yourself?
If so, then spend a year as a raw vegan, then a year low carb paleo, then
compare your results, but spare us the "millions of vegans proving humans
have no need of animal foods" hocus pocus, eh?

Cheers.
