You've been downvoted, though not by me, because you introduced a petty insult about an unrelated topic. You then doubled down with an even pettier edit. It's not rocket science mate.

What's unrelated? Many vegans claim that veganism is the natural human diet. That humans originally were vegan but became meat eaters. I've come across crazy vegans here who spout that nonsense.

My guess is only silly vegans would take truth as a petty insult.

Also, I really don't care about the downvotes. I know why I was downvoted by silly vegans. My edit was a lure more than anything. So I can get a big laugh at their expense.

Maybe many vegans claim that, but you can find many of any group that claims something because there are many people. Most vegans will probably warn you that the diet is likely to be nutritionally incomplete and require B12 supplementation, for example.

I think you're getting down-voted because instead of adding to the conversation, you took a swipe at an off-topic straw man.
