Sorry to disappoint you.
Sickly vegan children

The only person I defended was Carla. Anyone can answer any post. I was just curious whether you feel the same sense of indignation at the people who said it was ok for "everyone" to keep eating hamburgers, as you did at yossarian for expressing his enthusiasm for his new diet at the time.
Since you seem to have so much indignation towards the vegan diet, I'm also curious whether you are involved in any activism to educate people about the many hundreds (thousands?) of fad diets out there, many of which 'could' be dangerous for 'some' people.
As for defending others, sorry, but no I don't like to see people getting singled out. Yossarian bared his soul and shared with us how difficult it's been for him. I feel immense respect and admiration for him for coming forward like that.
I think it's confrontational, what you said to him. What you said to me too, for that matter, but I can let it slide off me. I don't like seeing it done to others, especially right after they bared their soul.
It's just mean.
