I haven't eaten meat in days and I've been feeling lightheaded and weak, even though I've been eating plenty of nuts.
But you're making an argument. Technically you're arguing with him about veganism.
No you aren't.

I don't know many vegans who are vegan for the health benefits. It's usually a morality thing.
On the off-chance that this is more than just bait and you're willing to have a real discussion:Being a vegan isn't about being healthy, necessarily. Even if being a vegan shortened my life by twenty years, I would still be a vegan. It's the ethical implications of meat-eating that I take issue with.Obviously, forcing a pet outside of its naturally-ordained diet is wrong, but it's a silly comparison, because human beings not only can survive on a vegan diet--they also have the self-control and know-how to do so.I'm not arguing just yet, though. Merely elucidating my position on the philosophy further, because you seem to be under the impression that it makes a difference to me whether veganism is healthy or not, and it frankly doesn't.
If being "inhuman" means that I'm ethical, then I'm okay with being inhuman.
Living that way is unethical
