Why is it ok for omnivores to criticise a vegan diet

But the minute a vegan criticises an omni diet, all hell breaks loose?

Because vegan diets are tricky and vegans often accidentally malnourish themselves if they don't pay enough attention, and vegan critique of omni diets tend to be mostly about trying to shame the person into not eating meat.

@NorthernRoses fair enough. I don't know what diet you follow, but say you were omni and someone presented you with calm, non shaming health based information about veganism, you'd listen?

@Starsandfire Probably! I'd have to take it up with a nutritionist before thinking of committing to it, though. Where would I get enough Omega-3 from? How would I balance the Omega-3 with the probable ton of Omega-6 I'd get? Stuff like that.

But yeah, as long as it's all about health, I'd listen. None of that "those poor animals!" stuff.

@NorthernRoses well, I totally admire your open mindedness :)
