I noticed that in all your "facts" you didnt mention that vegans have bad breath and their food is boring and nasty. Meat tastes good and we have bodies DESIGNED to eat it. We have teeth for tearing it and we produce enzymes to digest it.
We are OMNIVORES not herbivores like a damn rabbit!!
Also my people and all those from regions around mine have herded and farmed cattle and goat for thousands of years. WE EAT MEAT.
This vegan nonsense is some fad that isnt anything to do with my part of Africa... I think it belongs in the west, no in the USA, no In California, no in Hollywood.... Lets leave it there where it belongs with all the other charlatans and gurus...
Health my arse!

I always thought that monkeys were vegan by nature, even drunk ones. As far as bad breath, that's a result of indigestion and constipation. A thorough detox along with a natural diet will curb that. Myrrh is an excellent herb for those unfortunate folks that suffer from halitosis. Out of all animals, theprimate has the closest digestive system to humans. Guess what, most are vegan, muscular, and strong! As a monkey you should know that. Animals that are non-carnivorous have the longest life spans and have more strength and endurance than carnivores. Among vegan animals are the gorilla, elephant, rhino, horse, and ox. The carnivore is just more vicious and violent, something that humanity doesn't need anymore of.

Just because you can digest animals does not mean you are supposed to. You can digest cardboard. That does not mean you should eat it. And it also does not mean that you digest it well.

intestinal tract only 3 times body length, so rapidly decaying meat can pass out of body quickly
intestinal tract several times body length (plant foods decay slowly so can take their time to pass through the body)
intestinal tract several times body length
in the table above. The human digestive system, tooth and jaw structure, and bodily functions are completely different from carnivorous animals. As in the case of the anthropoid ape, the human digestive system is twelve times the length of the body; our skin has millions of tiny pores to evaporate water and cool the body by sweating; we drink water by suction like all other vegetarian animals; our tooth and jaw structure is vegetarian; and our saliva is alkaline and contains ptyalin for predigestion of grains. Human beings clearly are not carnivores by physiology -- our anatomy and digestive system show that we must have evolved for millions of years living on fruits, nuts, grains, and vegetables.
Furthermore, it is obvious that our natural instincts are non-carnivorous. Most people have other people kill their meat for them and would be sickened if they had to do the killing themselves. Instead of eating raw meat as all flesh-eating animals do, humans boil, bake, or fry it and disguise it with all kinds of sauces and spices so that it bears no resemblance to its raw state. One scientist explains it this way: "A cat will salivate with hungry desire at the smell of a piece of raw flesh but not at all at the smell of fruit. If man could delight in pouncing upon a bird, tear its still-living limbs apart with his teeth, and suck the warm blood, one might conclude that nature provided him with meat-eating instinct. On the other hand, a bunch of luscious grapes makes his mouth water, and even in the absence of hunger he will eat fruit because it tastes so good."
Scientists and naturalists, including the great Charles Darwin who gave the theory of evolution, agree that early humans were fruit and vegetable eaters and that throughout history our anatomy has not changed. The great Swedish scientist von Linné states: "Man's structure, external and internal, compared with that of the other animals, shows that fruit and succulent vegetables constitute his natural food."
