General conclusion seems to be that one can remain healthy on a vegan diet, if you supplement with vitamin B12. However, chances are that, unless you watch carefully what you eat, you are going to end up with deficiencies.

With growing children it is particularly problematic. Can't really be done, I suspect, unless the parent is an expert in nutrition.

Haven't watched the video yet (I'm listening to music, and the video will interfere), but I seem to remember reading somewhere that the ability to cook food, and particularly a meaty diet, enabled us to get more nutrients out of food, which in turn enabled the energy-hungry large brain to evolve. If this is so, perhaps veganism makes you stupid, which makes you less likely to eat meat, which makes you even stupider, etc.
