It really is not! Vegan diets require an awareness of nutrition that isn't trivial. It's not hard to do, but it takes a level of planning! It is irresponsible to suggest otherwise.

Every diet requires planning, which is why non-vegans have nutritional deficiencies. It's naive to suggest otherwise.

Agreed, though the odd egg or chunk of meat helps a lot with nutrition. Supplementing with nutritional yeast, flaxseeds, chiaseeds, green leafy vegetables... you have to be more aware about iron, B vitamins, omega fatty acids than you would be with a diet that includes eggs, dairy, and meat.

I advocate people reduce meat, but without a good fundamental knowledge, it's a little risky to go full vegan.
