Likewise. But the article reminded me that low-fiber diets are sometimes

indicated for serious gastrointestinal disease. In such cases, MDs recommend no

whole grains, and limited intake of fruits and vegetables. Maybe tofu, nut

betters, and seitan are ok for such diets, and maybe veg*ns have low incidence

of such diseases compared to omnivores. But I would like to hear from someone in

the know before I would say that to someone, or to the public.

 

Two omnivorous people I know have such a medical condition, and they are likely

vectors for various anti-veg*n talking points.
