I swear you shouldn't, it is really unhealthy. It is not my place to say so but being Vegan just isn't a good idea. OOC

Actually, there is nothing unhealthy about it, if you manage it right. Plants are quite diverse and the stuff you need to be healthy can all be found in one kind or another. Calcium and protein and such. I don't think it's any more healthy that a non-vegan diet, but it's not unhealthy. For any animal a truly healthy diet is that which they evolved with. Humans are animals. Humans are omnivores, like bears and pigs. Therefore, to not eat an omnivorous diet is less than optimal.

While it is true that one can be a vegan eat a balanced diet, the planet could not sustain its current population if they all were strict vegans. Herbivores convert grass and other otherwise inedible vegetation into food (milk and meat). Aquatic organisms (fish, crustaceans and shellfish) do the same. Without using animal sources there just isn't enough suitable protein.
