Vegans who aren't careful are likely to have health problems, but 
diabeties ?

I'm also O+. I guess as I don't eat meat (and haven't for nearly 15

disappoint you, but I don't feel like doing that.

meat in the same way that a smoker is addicted to smoking. Certainly I 
went through a phase of craving meat when I gave up.
