Not to add fuel to the fire, but most all of the arguments I see against vegans or meat eaters (depending on which side is arguing) take into account or use statistics of the ignorant masses.

Not to point a finger, but this line is a perfect example:
Quote:
To be honest with you, you could say even worse about meat eaters..In america 60% of them are obese.
Assuming that's a correct statistic, assuredly most all of them are ignorant to proper nutrition. The same people could NOT eat meat and still be in the same boat.

If anyone is going to argue against the other side, use the people who eat properly to point out shortcomings. I doubt that either side could develop a compelling argument from a nutritional standpoint, then. Politically speaking is another matter entirely.
