[quote=Anonymous]I think being vegan messes up people's brain chemistry, and so it's not surprising that they don't think straight. Vegan sources of protein don't contain all of the essential amino acids the way that meat and eggs do, so it's harder to be properly nourished. Vegan diets also tend to be heavy on anti-nutrients (found in grains) that bind to minerals and stop them being absorbed by the body. So they burn through their body stores of various vitamins and minerals without them really being properly replaced from the food they're eating, and eventually hit a wall. That's why most vegans will, at least after a while, eventually acknowledge that their body doesn't seem to do so well on that diet, even if it felt okay in the beginning, no matter how preachy they start out. I do also think that being vegan is sometimes a way to try to cover up an eating disorder like anorexia.[/quote]
