Are you a vegan at all? I appreciate the philosophy but I would not be able to stay with it
I try and abstain from the use of animal products as much as I can.
that is good, I support that type of lifestyle, I just ate too much meat growing up to realistically stop
There are health benefits from being vegan like reducing heart disease and some chronic disease. 
that is true, I wish I had the resolve to, proabably when I am older, but right now I am trying to put on weight
In Germany they don't recommend for children, teenagers, pregnant women or breastfeeding women. 
that is interesting. I do not doubt it is unhealthy, but sometimes we just make poor decisions cause now is more important than later for some
It's interesting because Canadian and British health people believe it's fine.
