I was a vegan for two years and realized that it's a stupid philosophy. It's based on distorted science and misunderstanding.
Just because you don't like capitalism does not mean you have to be a vegan. Just because animals were exploited didn't mean you can't eat meat.
Vegan is primiarly motivated by belief in animal rights which is based on poor misunderstanding of nature.
Vegan diet is NOT an optimal diet - we need some animal products in our diet but not much. B12 deficiency can occur unless you take supplements.
A lot of vegans aren't healthy because they were not interested in nutrition but rather they believe that animals have the right to live.
