[QUOTE="Safi, post: 1919717, member: 162276"] I think that for a long time it was just 'accepted wisdom' that vegetarianism (& to a lesser extent veganism) was the healthiest choice. The vegan lobby are now facing stiff, scientifically sound competition from other nutritional quarters. Feeling threatened they've come out swinging. There is also a great deal of infighting within the vegan community as to what veganism really is about - plant based for health VS stopping the exploitation of animals. Unfortunately for the vegan lobby, omnivores & even carnivores also care about animal welfare as much as they care about improving their own/others health & they have a lot of science on their side. Add to this the fact that for many omnivory is just a more pleasant way to nourish yourself & I think the vegan lobby are having to lobby harder to try & maintain their position. [/QUOTE]
