This whole statement is ridiculous. I don't even know how to reply to it.

Why miss out on that ? you're healthier this way? and you really thing that vegetables aren't chemically processed...
Veganism isn't even mainly a perspective based on health considerations. Even if it was, no one is going to argue that there aren't other factors negatively impacting health in any possible scenario. Simply acknowledging that some things a person does may be unhealthy doesn't mean more unhealthy acts should be pursued with reckless abandon.

This completely trashy system makes it pretty much impossible to live a perfectly healthy life, so you might as well enjoy everything as much as you can instead of creating arrogant ideas and principles to live by.
I'm pretty sure they enjoy their own principles. I think the basis of their principles are asinine, but I don't think any one of us are in a position to negate their personal choice. What I do think is arrogant is that your entire argument is based on personal perspective and you expect everyone else to adhere to it. Which is pretty much what you're condemning in the first place, which makes you... wait, I'll give you a few seconds for anticipation purposes and theatrical buildup..... A hypocrite.

I'm neither a vegetarian nor a vegan... But I won't sit here and say my ideals are any better than theirs. The most I can do is create a reasonable argument to loosen the perspective of my meat-eating behavior. This does not include demonizing the perspectives of those who don't share my beliefs.
