This is common sense:
Killing animals is not a nice thing - most people don't enjoy it. But humans have done it for the 200,000 years that there have been humans - despite it not being a particularly nice thing to have to do. So common sense says that we did it because we felt we had to do it for our health.
There is no way to eat a healthy vegan diet without processed foods and supplements, and we're only just learning about the effects of long-term vegan diets. We don't fully understand how a diet that eliminates two of the five major food groups affects us long term - but we do know it's extreme and we do know that there are a number of people who have done the experiment for 20 years or longer and it caused them severe health problems.

"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
