Neither of us are doctors, and I feel very for this man and his family, but I suspect there was something else going on with him to have this
disasterous effect on his health. I'm vegan most of the time, and I will admit to falling off the vegan truck in favour of cheese occasionally,
simply cos I like the taste. I also eat eggs, from the free range chickens on the next farm. However, I know for a fact that I'm at my healthiest
when I'm strictly vegan. All my stomach problems clear up, I drop the excess weight, and I feel much more energetic. My partner is the same.
There is no one simple solution here. What suits one person won't suit the next. We cannot say that a vegan diet is detrimental, as there is so much
evidence to the contrary. It is well documented however, that a diet rich in red meat is bad for our health.
It's also important, from a vegan point of view to acknowledge the importance of animal welfare issues. These are usually the main motivator for a
vegan to drop all animal products from their diet. Whatever your diet, it's really important to be aware of how the food you consume is produced.
