Babies don't want vegan mommies? What a load of... →
I don’t disagree that a vegan diet can be unhealthy, nor do I think that it’s for everyone.

I’m really not supposed to be commenting on the situation, which I think is great advice, because anything I say will extend the story’s life and cause more fans discomfort. But as a guy who blogs or tweets every time he wipes his butt, hugs his cat or hurts his girlfriend, it’s conspicuously…
