It's great your fiancé and mom are supporting you, Switch! Sounds like they really care .

I agree with a lot of the comments here. I suppose some people actually believe that vegetarian and vegan diets are really harmful? And they're really interested in helping you? Nah, now that I think about it, some people like to prove themselves smart when they see someone doing something they consider "dumb." It makes them feel good. However, what they don't realize is that vegetarian and vegan diets are often just as healthy as diets with meat if done properly. Of course, it will be unhealthy if someone doesn't eat carefully, just like every diet.

I also think some people are just "jealous." By jealous, I mean they feel threatened by that point of view. If the whole world turns vegan, they'll look bad for eating meat! Oh no!

I agree with your diet choice. The most vibrant, healthy elderly people I've met are ones who have also been vegetarian or vegans most of their life. They are often very active too, so it shows they care about their physical health.

Well, if you continue with your diet in future years and still don't die from nutrient deficiency, then you will have proved them wrong.

By the way, I'm sorry if this post sounds a little negative. I'm feeling humorous today, which can contain some dark humor too.
