I have been vegan for over 20 years, went vegetarian over 30 years ago. I am healthy, look younger than my years, am vibrant and have a strong and flexible body. The family you mention is not what I see in my vegetarian and vegan friends. Needing meat or not needing meat are belief systems. Please don’t impose your belief system on the rest of us.

and lack certain vitamins and protiens…..I didnt say alot of meat, but some meat is necessary….red meat….I know this family who eat nothing with eyes like fish fowl or animal and the children lack nurishment , no salt. sugar , pepper, eggs etc. thats ok for the adults if thats what they want but not for the girls….this is a crime to me….but mind my own business….and yes, the girls are ill all the time.
