both Mexie and Taylor Lorenz gave up being vegans

[http://dummy.us.eu.org/robert (Robert)]

I read that Lorenz gave up being a vegan after being a vegan for 25 years.

It seems like health is the common theme behind turning to a carnivore /
omnivore diet, and was wondering about that.  I found a few sites relevant
to this.

IBS seems to be the most common reason, which sorta makes sense.  Oddly,
there are a number of a vegetables that can and should be eaten with IBS,
according to

This references a couple of interesting studies,

and

Statistically, most people give up being vegan for non-health reasons and
the most common reason is that it is difficult maintaining a vegan diet
(which is obvious).  Lack of community support is a big factor and joining
a group of vegetarians and vegans seems to "keep them in the fold".
Turnover is fantastically high.  10% of the U.S. population has tried
either vegetarianism or veganism, but only 20% of those people keep it up.
I guess the latest backlash against vegans has probably not helped things
in the sense that fewer people will be willing to try it in the first
place.
