The great thing about nutrition is that no matter what diet you want to try, you can find a quack willing to endorse it as a healthy option.

The truth about nutrition is that it's incredibly complex, difficult to study, and there are virtually no reliable sources who aren't pushing their own agenda.

If you want to eat vegan, by all means go for it (I'm vegan myself), but you're deluding yourself to think that there's something magical about a "vegan diet"-- which by the way can contain oreos, cracker jacks, hershey's syrup, and any number of other healthy foods.
