Death by Veganism. "I was once a vegan. But well before I became pregnant, I concluded that a vegan pregnancy was
irresponsible. You cannot create and nourish a robust baby merely on foods from plants.
Indigenous cuisines offer clues about what humans, naturally omnivorous, need to survive, reproduce and grow: traditional vegetarian diets, as in India, invariably include dairy and eggs for complete protein, essential fats and vitamins. There are no vegan societies for a simple reason: a
vegan diet is not adequate in the long run."
