is a nutritionist who is suffering from diabetes. Note that the article is "why go vegetarian". This is VASTLY different from a vegan lifestyle, as being a vegetarian merely means the abscence of MEAT in ones diet. thus vegetarians can eat eggs, milk, cheese, etc. She is not a vegetarian for social or moral reasons, but purely for individual health reasons to fight her disease.
You don't need to tell me, reverend. I'm well-aware of the differences between a vegan and a vegetarian.

Actually, the trouble that vegans have with egg and milk products is what animals have to go through to provide these things. Chickens are kept in small cages their whole lives and when they can't lay anymore eggs, they're killed. That's the case with free-range chickens as well. And contrary to popular belief, cows, like other mammals, are only able to provide milk after they give birth. Not "because they're cows." So, they're constantly impregnated. And if the calf is male, it's turned to veal (because, obviously, male cows can't provide milk).
I would go vegan, but where I live, it's completely impossible. The only brand of vegan cheese I've ever tried sucks ass and I've never tried almond milk so there's no telling if I would like that. I could do without eggs, though, real or fake. I just plain don't like them.
Don’t ask.
