"One of the things that I’ve just noticed, with my own eyeballs, is that a lot of long-term vegans actually don’t look healthy. They look kind of emaciated, their skin is kind of yellow, they’ve got bags under their eyes, their hair’s not good — it’s splitting, their fingernails aren’t good. So just looking at long-term vegans, like if you go to a vegan’s organization’s meeting and look at the people and you’ll realize that they actually don’t even look healthy, especially when you look at the people that have been on it for longer than 10 years. So then you start finding out that they’re having really major health problems related to certain nutritional deficiencies. I want to emphasize that I was a vegan. I was a radical vegan. I was in favor of the philosophy, and I still think it’s a beautiful philosophy. I still think it’s fine for a person, in spite of all that I’ve said — to just knowingly become a vegan. But what they shouldn’t be under is the false illusion that they’re following a diet that’s healthier than other diets, which is what they thought."
