I appreciate your care and comment but just be careful recommending a vegan diet to everyone as the epitome of health. I used to do the exact same.. I was a vegan for around 4 years, eating what I thought was very healthy food and a very healthy amount with enough calories, and I developed multiple ongoing health issues which only stopped once I truly stopped being vegan. I was in denial for a while about it until I finally realised. Many other people experienced the exact same thing. A vegan diet, to me, is kind of like fasting. It can be good temporarily, and how long one should/can stay on it can vary person to person, but just like any kind of fasting or "juice cleanse" etc it shouldn't be adopted long term otherwise our bodies will suffer.
