The page includes strawmanning and fearmongering about vegans.

"Exaggerate the benefits of a vegan diet. Claims include "meat is the biggest cause of all preventable diseases". Whilst there are many benefits to a vegan diet, these exaggerations are dangerous, as they can mislead people into thinking that they can't get ill, so that they end up not getting treatments for said illnesses, opting to treat themselves through diet alone."

That's not what the initial claim is stating.

It's important to be aware that the organization "Center for Organizational Research and Education" has been pushing a smear campaign against Peta. "The organization defends the alcohol, meat, and tobacco industries and has been critical of organizations including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Center for Science in the Public Interest, Mothers Against Drunk Driving, the Humane Society of the United States, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, and the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine."

"If vegans do not eat farmed animal products, farmers (especially in poorer countries) will often use animals for other purposes such as transport (horses, donkeys, etc) or labor/working fields (horses, oxen, wildebeests)."

This is a claim of whatboutism since much less animals would bred in the first if the profit incentive from their flesh is removed. — Unsigned, by: Potatogood / talk / contribs
