> Many 'honest' vegans admit occasionally binge eat animal products - in your case cheese.

Don't call me a vegan. I'm vegetarian. That means choosing no meat, no more, no less.

It does rather look like you are unfamiliar with the difference, both from this response and your previous comment replying specifically to meat.

I'm older than I think you think I am. And both my grandfathers died before I was born.

Partially my fault in the way I phrased my sentence. I was referring to vegans in general. Not you in particular. ( buddy, where's the benefit of doubt, if you assumed I did not know the difference?)

If you occasionally eat animal products you will survive(or even do well), Again my point is lost, my point being that there is more than a little to to be learnt from people who have attempted veganism for decades.

The delivery of my message may not be perfect or even crude, but the bare minimum information is there, including the link I put, where you will end up spending days if you are not familiar with aspects of nutrition. Look past me - and I'm sure if you are skeptical enough of any conventional nutritional wisdom, you will learn a _lot_ .
