"Man cannot live on bread, or salad, alone."

I have a lot of vegans in my life and like most of you - I am intimidated by them. It is not just how they eat - it goes much deeper than that. Here are some tips that you can use to combat their power over you:
"I have a more refined palate, requiring flavors that go beyond the scope of a vegan diet."
"I have a mental issue that requires me to eat foods outside of a vegan diet." - Hint: You can use this response, even if you haven't been diagnosed.
"My parents sexually assaulted me with a carrot when I was younger. My PTSD will flair when I am exposed to a vegan diet."
"I have specific enzymes in my system that require animal flesh. That is as much detail as I would like to share."
"My body works at a higher level than yours and can handle foods outside of a vegan diet."
"All of the science that you think you know about the benefits of veganism is just propaganda created and disseminated by the big veg cabal."
