Some people exaggerate the health benefits of a vegan diet; more important than pointing out the particular exaggerations is the question of what motivates the various extremes positions engaged in the debate. Could there be a sort of wish-fulfilling fantasy on the part of some “plant based” advocates that the evidence from the health sciences could be SO OVERWHELMING that we wouldn’t need to have an ethical, ecological and political movement at all? #vegan #vegans #veganism
