I don't think veganism is a societal problem.. but I do think it's a personal problem. The vegans I've known that have done it for a long period have had all sorts of weird health issues that could be attributed to malnutrition (if they actually had labs done, which they generally don't). To be a healthy vegan you generally have to take a lot of vitamins or eat an impractically high volume, which to me suggests it's a bad diet (health wise. Ethically, great!).
What kind of weird health issues? in my experience most vitamin deficiencies can be managed with slight effort and a single daily multivitamin. IMO it beats the pants off of being part of the American obesity epidemic that creates problems for 40% of the population.
