"A vegetarian or vegan diet can be suitable for everyone, regardless of their age." - NHS UK

This is definitely false. Newborns not given mother's milk are worse off than those that receive maternal milk. Newborns given milk that is non-dairy substitutes not incorporating dairy are unlikely to living a long time. People in predominantly vegetarian countries like India and those that eat far less animal protein live significantly shorter lives than those in countries that eat more meat.

You've got it backwards :)

Eating a lot of animal protein probably means you’ll have a shorter life

Vegetarian Diets Linked to Lower Mortality

Consuming a diet low in meat, eggs and dairy products may extend one’s life, according to two new studies. While one study was conducted in mice and the other on people, both reached the same conclusion. And both appear in the same March 4 issue of Cell Metabolism

You don't have to eat a lot, but you have to eat some. India is a major counterexapmle to your thesis, it has one of the lowest consumptions of animal protein and yet low life expectancy. Breast milk is animal protein, or you'd have to include dairy too. You can justify it for animal cruelty reasons, but not for health reasons.

> India ... has one of the lowest consumptions of animal protein and yet low life expectancy

False cause fallacy.

> You don't have to eat a lot, but you have to eat some

Because you say so? Or do you have a source for your claims?

> Breast milk is animal protein, or you'd have to include dairy too

Vegans have a saying: "not your mother, not your milk".

It's one fallacy after another. You really should read the article I've linked, it's all there. Read it. At least skim it. It's not that hard.

> You can justify it for animal cruelty reasons, but not for health reasons

You think that adult humans have to drink cow milk to be healthy, do I understand you correctly? Not dog milk, not lion, giraffe, rat, pig milk, but cow milk specifically?

You don't read, so let's try youtube.
