As I have said before, Vegetarianism isn't for everyone vegan even less so. Don't care about your supposed statistics, am watching closely how imediate family are dealing with various "Fad Diets" the outcomes so far are not in favour of "Fad Diets"
Also you haven't addressed the land use of areas that are not suitable to "cropping"
This argument against supplementation really does not make sense. Adding meat to a diet is merely supplementing a plant based diet with meat, therefore meat could be considered a "supplement". The only reason why you are against vitamin supplements and not meat supplements is because of an appeal to natural which says that because vitamin supplements are made by humans they are additional to the "natural" diet. Its just nonsense.
You might not like statistics, but they are always going to be more reliable than anecdotes. If your daughter is having problems with her diet I would suggest talking to a nutritionist.
