Just a general comment - having spent a weekend with a group of (mainly young) people who've decided that they've all got "special food requirements" for either ethical or self-diagnosed health reasons. I've never heard so much unscientific BS in my life. I've been told that honey is really very healthy okay but sugar is poison/white death, had to deal with people who believe that dairy products will kill you - to the extent that a trace of milk left on a steaming wand on an espresso machine will cause them dire health effects. That processed food is very very bad for you, but they never read the label on their soy or so-called "almond milk". The vegans were all obese - every single one of them. I quite liked some of the food - they made some stuff actually taste like food, caused extreme flatulence, but they're right - my farts didn't stink. I presume they were all obese for a couple of reasons, one is that they're so fixated on the idea of "healthy food" that they think that's the single answer to everything - so they don't bother with exercise, the other being that they eat tonnes of sugar (even if it's "natural" sugar - whatever than means) and masses of carbs - even if that's from pea flour or beans or whatever.
I did manage to escape to visit an old friend - who's 75, eats what she wants, is fit, extremely healthy, still works full time as a health professional. We ducked out to a restaurant for lunch, ate gourmet burgers full of meat, put a teaspoon of sugar in our coffees. It was extremely refreshing to be able to enjoy a meal without hearing comment about how it was either going to kill us dead on the spot or make us live forever. Food discussion was limited to "how's your burger" - "really nice".
