agreed... but we seem to live in a world that is obsessed with food fads and eating disorders abound. Balance and moderation is not eating a supersized meal and drinking a super size diet soft drink... yet I see it all the time.

All my training as a biologist, ecologist and cultural anthropologist... hence the "sciencegeek"... tells me that "vegan" is not "the answer" to anything other than a personal choice that needs to be carefully thought out.

There has been a small bandwagon claiming that everyone going vegan will save the planet... speaking as a professional in the environmental field, I find that simplist attitude alarming. Hence my posts. Don't worry, I even speak out when folks try to turn "organic" into more than it is.
