I also have severe malabsorption and can't process most veg at all. I have been told hundreds of times that I am lying, and that I don't need to eat meat. To some of these people it is better for us to suffer than to eat meat, while they claim to subscribe to a philosophy of reducing suffering.

Yeah, it's frustrating to say the least.

If I went vegan I'd probably suffer a very slow, agonizing death from my brain going haywire and seize until I go into psychosis and die. If my body could take it I'd probably be a vegetarian and eat only local eggs and cheese, but it's a bad idea according to my doctor. It sucks.
