Food claims cause indigestion

There he goes again! How many times, dear readers, have I pointed out that the highest levels of chemicals are found in meat, not plant food? Yet Robin Grant just won't give up.

How many times have letter-writers noted that, while meat and dairy have important nutrients, we can get those nutrients from a vegan diet without having to face the health hazards associated with eating meat?
People like him always say we don’t tell vegetarians what to eat, so why don’t they leave us alone? The answer is that my diet doesn’t cause world starvation, global warming, the overuse of antibiotics, and unspeakable suffering to billions of animals. And how come this hypocrite doesn’t complain when the meat and dairy industry – not to mention the fast-food chains – tell vegetarians what to eat? Everyone has a right to give an opinion except vegetarians! Give me a break!
