his answer is a unique physical circumstance missing important biological equipment others have that leave him needing to eat animal products, or his health will really fail. I didn't know what to say further to him about veganism, so I dropped it.
I'm guessing you didn't feel it appropriate to ask him what the unique physical circumstances are? I'd be interested to know because I had someone comment on my blog that they couldn't be vegan because it caused her to develop a leaky gut.
When I probed just a little bit it turned out she had underlying issues which were much more likely to be the problem. But she was 100% convinced a plant based diet was not compatible with her body and she took great offence to me suggesting she wasn't doing it right.
He did say what it was, but it was a long time ago and I would hesitate to bring it up. It seems to me that it had to do with an issue with insulin from his pancreas.
I did search with relevant words in that medium for his conversation with me. But on this medium, I determined as I could not find that conversation it had been in the chat of a group we were in, which he had left, as all the communication from one who leaves a group is automatically gone when they go, there.
If you're looking for detailed information on the nutrition facts, including nutrients and calorie content, of various vegan foods, you might find the website "Veganalyze" helpful. They have a comprehensive database of nutrition facts for a wide range of vegan foods and beverages.
I've got three links in the about section, one is an embeddable GAS link and the other two are direct html downloads from Google drive, one locked and one unlocked as the most recent version
