I mentioned in the previous vegan-themed thread hijack that I respect it, and now I might as well say why.
It takes a lot of discipline and self-control to give up foods that most people would never dream of giving up, and managing it while staying healthy is somewhat of a nutritional victory. It's also the most animal friendly diet in existance, and in my book 'animal-friendly' automatically means 'preferable'.
The only bad thing about veganism is the PETA-like attitude that often accompanies it. I'm in full support of animal welfare, but some people just take it too far...
