Strangely enough for a longer life they have found that protein is critical in promoting proactively the bodies that fight disease in a body and it is difficult to get all of the proteins in a vegan diet.
If it is a philosophy it might need to be fine tuned.

@Pfuzylogic This is so false!! I have been vegan for 18 years and get far more protein than I ever got as a meat/.dead animal/cholesterol eater. There are many body builders and strong athletes who are vegan--in fact it is a growing trend among athletes. The American heart association and other reputable medical groups all agree a vegan diet is by far the healthiest and best for a long life. Non-vegans would be shocked at how much protein is in certain foods.

That is so false!
Proteins provide important amino acids to promote our health and a vegan diet simply does not supply some of the necessary proteins needed as we age.
Our body can tolerate the lack when we are younger but for a longer life you can’t react to diseases as they pop up.
It shortens lifespan!

@Docdon23 You can always take supplements. It is difficult as a vegan to get the proteins that are easy to eat with a non vegan diest.

@Pfuzylogic To be a healthy vegan one must read valid books, talk with doctors and nutritionists, attedn conferences and study what our bodies need. I have done all that and continue. many vegans and naive others think all we do is eat salad and eat apples...not true at all. Every nutrient our bodies needs can be found in non-animal sources. The animals you eat in fact are all vegetable eaters!

I am only saying you do not get all necessary proteins for good health as a vegan as you age. Youth can tolerate missing proteins that elderly can not without protein supplements.
