There is nothing wrong with being a vegan, but the default assumption that Veganism is great for all, especially in countries where allergies are rampant isn't always feasible.
The drive by downvoting to suppress a broader perspective and impact of veganism is for everyone is one thing.
If it's lethal for you don't be one. We aren't really to the point where anyone should be legitimately concerned that veganism will be influencial enough to crowd you out of your preferred diet.
Everyone can do what they want, until what they want is for it to be mainstream without considering it's for everyone.
I'm not sure how healthy veganism or vegetarianism are for your entire lifespan, but our diets could and should use much less meat, like 5% the currently consumed amount of meat or less. Such a diet would suitable to the vast majority of people and I'm not really sympathetic nor receptive to arguments centered on the small minority of people for which such a diet would be dangerous or intractible. As a vegetarian in a southern state I get to deal with a culture that thinks everything needs meat. Fucking bacon in milkshakes. It's a little ironic that I now also get to hear complaints that my tiny minority choice is somehow negatively impacting the carnivors.
There are a lot of things that are mainstream but not for everyone. Meat, airplanes, chess, rock climbing, nicotine, football, etc
