Except I don't simply "think vegan is better". I know, due to irrefutable nutritional science, that a vegan diet is just as safe and sustainable as one with animal products. I did provide a link which you seem to have missed. Your second isolated case does not prove anything. Here's a better source to make things clear: http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs178/en/ Key points from the article: " 6.3 million children under the age of five died in 2013. More than half of these early child deaths are due to conditions that could be prevented or treated with access to simple, affordable interventions. Leading causes of death in under-five children are preterm birth complications, pneumonia, birth asphyxia, diarrhoea and malaria. [b]About 45% of all child deaths are linked to malnutrition.[/b]" You should now be able to see that when something makes the headlines, it is [i]not[/i] a common occurrence. We are not carnivores, so your argument about dogs isn't relevant. We have the physiology of an omnivore and can therefore survive perfectly healthily without animal products. I am certainly familiar with Peter Singer and actually have a podcast with him I was planning on listening to later.
