I agree that it's wrong to attack Vegan/Vegetarianism purely on the basis of belief. While most Vs simply choose to eat their own way without bother to others, there is a large minority who feel the need to convince the rest of society to choose this lifestyle. PCRM takes this to the level of zealotry by using scare tactics and attacking other dietary lifestyles. This article presents a new twist by marketing the V dietary lifestyle to 14 year-olds by making it seem cool.

Just as there many reasons to choose Low Carb (overweight, prediabetic, high tryglycerides, etc.), there are many reasons to choose Veg (animal rights beliefs, allergies, etc.). But I am appaled that anyone would wish a 14 year-old follow a Low Carb or V diet simply because it was cool.
