It makes a huge difference. How would you feel if someone started a pro-ana thread here?
Vegans spread lies and misinformation through the internet, and amass a huge cult-like following. Some even charge for health "coaching", even though they're unqualified to do so. Due to this misinformation many try it and find out how terrible it is first-hand. All the actual information they use is of poor quality, or no quality for making health recommendations. Like this:

That chart is completely meaningless. All it does is encourage Vegans to be dismissive to others when defending their dogma instead of considering all sides of the argument.
Just as an example, "canine teeth". Do a google search on "human teeth for meat" or similar, and you'll find plenty of Vegan articles like here, here, and here. So to claim otherwise is disingenuous. There is in fact so much misinformation from vegan sources out there it dwarfs the scientific literature which clearly says the opposite: that our teeth and jaws are clearly designed for eating meat.

Well, no. 2.5 million years of evolution separates us from our closest relatives, the chips, and they have much stronger jaws because they eat raw food as a staple. Chimps spend around 6 hours a day chewing their food, we humans spend about 1 hour on that task. But we are both omnivorous and our teeth proves that fact; and we've been omnivores for at least 2.5 million years. The difference between us and chips is they only derive around 5% of their daily energy from meat, and we learned to cook our meat and vegetables. If we hadn't done that then today we'd been much the same as chimps, we wouldn't be human at all.

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
