I hope we can get back on topic once you two are done abusing mathematic signs.
That said, as a meat eater, Crandar's sources do appear a bit shifty in some cases. I don't have time to read and analyze them all in detail though.
One is by a doctor Mercola, who is also trying to sell things in his shop (including vegan protein bags, why would he sell to vegans if he thinks veganism is unhealthy? hypocrite?), that has about the same credibility level as Alex Jones for starters.
Some others only talk about the benefits of this or that, but I couldn't find them explicitly saying they're unavailable to vegans. At best I saw them conclude that vegans are less healthy. That study from Graz does say it corrected for lifestyle choices, but it doesn't say whether they're just doing veganism wrong and I'm not sure whether they also corrected their data for the possibility that they found so many sick vegans becuase sick people try veganism in an attempt to cure themselves rather than becoming sick from being a vegan.
The study that talks about the benefits and drawbacks of red meat seems to say that only certain preparation styles might make the benefits outweigh the drawbacks, without checking that more thoroughly. Of course eating it raw will likely get you a toxoplasma gondii infection:

So on the meat eater issue, I guess things are still vague.
