You dismiss veganism because friends and family disapprove and think you are a killing the joy of their meal of corpses. Do you let friends and family dictate every other one of your stances in life? You claim you can't afford the salad at the fast food joint so you order the burger instead.

ALL committed herbivores have one of three things- the ability to regurgitate to remasticate and redigest, a large cecum, or a multi chambered stomach. We have none of those, and therefore, unlike committed herbivores, cannot digest cellulose. Further we have heme iron receptors where committed herbivores do not.
