Ummm these people DO realise that chimpanzees gain alot of satisfaction from slaughtering each other or any other mammal they can get to with their crude weapons to "bring home the meat"
Ummm Look I may be stupid but as Bad Wolf has stated above is the definition of omnivorous diet
You see, that is where you fail with your "natural vegetarian/ vegan diet" you HAVE to take dietary supplements derived form animals in-part, and fungi to live on you food to be healthy where omnivores do not have to support this pseudo-health industry just to live.
Sure supplements in the form of B12 and group iron and minerals are needed when illness strikes but it appears that you need these medications continually just to make it through the day which is why your "lifestyle" is unattractive to omnivores.

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.
