What science says about plant-based diets (Vegan)

[Minimalist]

My sister in law is a vegan.  She constantly has anemia and skeletal and connective tissue problems.  My wife, who thinks she is a fanatic, says that her doctors have told her that she needs to eat a more balanced diet but she can't shake loose of the vegan bullshit.

I eat both. In equal portions.
And wash it down with diet coke.
I will live forever! No afterlife necessary.

I wash my dinner down with tea.

I'm British, after all!

I like tea, sometimes, but I prefer coffee xD

Hope she stops that vegan crap eventually. For her own good.

Delicious!

That's why my wife calls her a fanatic.  She thinks the sicker she gets the healthier she is.

My wife was the sane one in that family.

Min, why can't she eat a Fillet O Fish?

That thing isn't meat? In fact, I don't even think it belongs in the animal kingdom!

Apparently, its against the rules.

When she came to visit a few years ago I asked my wife (I do the cooking) what am I supposed to feed her?  A bowl of dirt?  This is Arizona.  Grass clippings are hard to come by.

The dirt and various fungi would have been fine, it seems.
