I don't think Ginny's missing that at all. In fact, I think that's her main point, that Tasha's entire post is a post-facto attempt to rationalize a decision made for non-rational reasons.
- jacquesm 16y agoYes, but my point is that Ginny was not going after her when she was still rooting for 'her' team, probably for all the wrong reasons as well. Ginny's post comes off as a very effective smear job against a 'former believer'.
- autarch 16y agoGinny is pretty consistent about promoting good science and criticizing the bad. For example, in a blog post on "7 Ways to Encourage and Support New Vegans" (http://www.theveganrd.com/2010/08/7-ways-to-encourage-and-support-new-vegans.html http://www.theveganrd.com/2010/08/7-ways-to-encourage-and-su...), she says: Be honest about nutrition. It’s pretty unlikely that a vegan diet is the only healthy way to eat and we will always get backed into a corner if we say that it is. Likewise, some nutrients are harder to come by on a vegan diet. If we dismiss nutrition issues, we run the risk that some vegans won’t thrive, which is bad for them and bad for veganism I don't think she has time to address every blog post by every uninformed person (vegan or anti-vegan) on the web, unfortunately.
