This is good because it was done through giving people the option, not enforcing it. I'll only ever give up meat if a doctor tells me I need to for health reasons, but I respect vegetarians and vegans.

The problem with that is that sometimes the first sign of a health problem is death.  Look at Kevin Smith (who's now considering going vegan in the wake of his massive heart attack).  It's pretty difficult to course-correct if the first symptom is death.

Other times the first symptom is cancer.  Cholo-rectal cancers are amongst the cancers tightly correlated to eating animal products, but there are many more.

Dietary changes do a better job of preventing disease than they do curing disease.

Serious question(s) if you are indeed 44 have you not noticed that dietary "science" is a constantly changing animal? What is good for you one year "causes cancer and is bad m'kay" 5 years later only to once again be good for you three years after that.

Also how common is fossilized human stool? A search for coprolite returned mostly things of this nature:

not sure how this relates to your statement "A whole food vegan diet is more paleo than the so-called "paleo diet"."

Also, going against my link, is a single recovered stool sample really a good way to come to a conclusion about what "people" let alone A person ate regularly?

A single turd is but a snaphot of part of my diet and does not describe in whole what i normally eat. Yesterday's salad is today's turd like Monday's steak dinner was the turd before that.

 

Not trying to be an ass as I am not well versed in this area so feel free to include links to further my knowledge.
