Default The 'vegan' shuffle

That's bad advice.

Some of their efforts have merit, for example a well designed vegan diet can
be healthy, and for the most part causes a relatively low environmental
impact. Where their efforts fail, massively and laughably, is in convincing
any well-informed person that following a vegan lifestyle is a moral
imperative, or that is critical for good health. Vegans typically overshoot
badly. Vegan efforts are also worthless in a lot of small ways, such as in
the silly aversion to micrograms of animal parts in sauces.
