Interesting, this former vegan is now critical of veganism:

Very interesting. She's saying things that are the opposite of what Dr. Klaper said. I'd like to see a debate between the two. I wonder who's the incompetent one.
Lierre Keith - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This reminds me of what happened with 911. There was 1) the official version (bin laden, ha ha), then 2) the people saying the government did it, and 3) the 911 conspiracy debunkers (a few sellout pseudo-scientists from popular mechanics). Then of course 2) were the only ones who were right.
Now it's like this. 1) the official version ("milk does a body good", or "eat a steak for proteins"), 2) go vegan because you'll be healthier and 3) Lierre Keith saying that you won't get the proteins... but I don't believe her, because she's the only one, and she went over the medical details too fast and focused on many other unrelated things. The point is if the diet is healthier or not and she talked about it for less than one minute out of 30 minutes. When people talk as fast as she does, it makes me feel like she wants to prevent the interviewer from asking questions, because she's incompetent. Let's see what this guy has to say about her book, "The Vegetarian Myth":
Reviewing a review of The Vegetarian Myth - YouTube
Yeah, I agree with this guy. He's polite and knowledgeable. He mentions Ginny Messina:
Review of “The Vegetarian Myth” | The Vegan RD
Lierre Keith suffers from numerous chronic health problems. Unable to secure a diagnosis for most of them, she decided that the vegan diet she had followed for twenty years was to blame. But she wasn’t content to add a few animal products back to her diet. Instead, she set out to prove that healthy diets require copious amounts of animal foods and that small-scale animal farming is the answer to sustainability. To prove it, she has cobbled together information from websites (yes, she actually cites Wikipedia!) and a few popular pseudoscientific books.
It’s next to impossible to review this book; it is so packed with misinformation and confusion that refuting the claims could be another book itself. This is a long post, and it doesn't begin to address all of the problems in The Vegetarian Myth.
I read the section on nutrition first. Since it’s my area of expertise, I figured it would give me some idea of the quality of her research and analysis. But quality isn’t at issue here because there is no research or analysis. Keith doesn’t bother with primary sources; she depends almost exclusively on the opinions of her favorite popular authors, which she presents as proof of her theories. For example, when she writes about evolution as it affects dietary needs, and suggests that “the archeological evidence is incontrovertible,” she is actually referencing the book Protein Power, written by two physicians who have no expertise in evolution or anthropology.
I am satisfied with her comment on that incompetent book (it's longer than what i quoted).
Here's another skeptic of veganism:

Yeah, but he's selling his products. Can't trust this guy, due to his conflict of interests.

What's up with this other guy, Zak Martin-Kilgour:
Vegan Goes Paleo and Gets Healthier! #289 - YouTube
He's sincere. "He's not dogmatic", he says. He's got a website, don't know if he sells, but he might, and yet he said he's changed his mind about being vegan... pretty good sincerity.
Very interesting: he says we should be mostly vegan, but also bend it to our ancestrial diet. It could make sense, because even as humans, we're not exactly the same animals.
Hmm, this guy knows his ****:

I do have an extreme tolerance for milk, and can drink one liter per day without any side effects. I am wondering if I should really stop it. In fact, I have stopped it already.
