I think it is perfectly okay to chose to eat a vegan diet, but I am NOT a fan of having to label everthing/everyone. Eat vegan, but why go around saying "Im a vegan"? lol We have lived by a very nice Indian couple for years now. Their culture eats a vegan diet, and the husbanfhad a kidney transplant years ago and recently just died of cancer. the wife, has een sick for years too and is down to probably 85lbs. There is something to eating meat!?!
