If he becomes a vegan then he better not become one of those annoying vegans who try to talk other people into becoming vegans by saying that meat is bad for you. If not, it's fine and he's fully entitled to do so.

1) There is nothing wrong with vegetarianism. It's a perfectly possible way to have a healthy, balanced diet.
2) Vegans are f*cked up! It is not possible to get all the required nutrients from a vegan diet without taking dietary supplements, and I don't exactly consider pills as part of your dinner healthy. Humans were designed as omnivores - there are limited ways around this, avoiding meat in favour of dairy for instance, but pretending you're a herbivore is just plain unhealthy.

Actually, humans weren't designed as anything. We're the product of millions of years of evolution, conditioned by lots of factors. So, even though it may be right to say that being a vegan prevents you from acquiring the necessary nutrients, it's not crazy to think that after several generations of related vegans, bodies might start adjusting in order to further the existance of the species.
Anyway, good for Brian if he's doing what he wants.
Cheers!

Yep. In people over the age of 60, veganism is actually very, very lethal. Brian probably has about eight months left.
By the time he's done being a vegan, he'll probably look like THIS:
so I'd get the farewell cards together folks. This is a day of mourning.

While humans have evolved to be omnivores, we also possess something that no other organism has: self-realization. Unlike anything else we share the planet with, we have the capacity to have awareness, leading to the ability to make choices that are not only based on mere survival. It is very difficult to live a vegan lifestyle healthily, but it can be done. I myself am not a vegan, but I completely admire anyone who makes the choice to live a life without acting at the expense of animals.

All things in moderation, including moderation.
Which means we're allowed the occasional excess.
My personal opinion is that veganism is an extreme lifestyle choice, but it's everyone's right, just as eating meat, milk, honey and wearing leather is as well. Where it gets too extreme is when it's done for political or social reasons alone, based on the belief that humans are somehow disqualified from consuming or profiting from other lifeforms because we have big brains. I believe that's just silly. More over, it conveniently fails to address why, say, eating meat is wrong but building houses out of trees is acceptable. Trees are just as alive as animals. Vegans I've met live by the rule that if it has a face you can't kill/eat it. I find this incredibly self-serving, especially given the symbiotic relationship between all plant and animal life. My feeling is that veganism in this extreme is a set of arbitrary philosophical lines drawn around practitioners to salve some middle-class guilt complex.
Does any of this apply to Dr. May? I can't begin to guess and would never presume to. Like I said, it's his choice and I respect it.

I think Brian misses Freddie a lot. That is why he is getting into so many things to keep himself occupied.

I agree with the Quinn guy. He's right. You need things like dairy and meat for your health especially later in life...or at least you need dairy.

As a Microbiologist studying metabolism, Darwinist, amateur psychologist, semi-Buddhist and most of al FRIEND.. Please Brian, don't, this will only help deterioration of your brain capacity, leaving you unaware of the eventfull years between 1966 and 1991.
Our canine teeth say it all.

well, Brians a clever guy, lets all hope he makes the right choice and is ok
On a side note, I have stopped eating tuna as they are caught in drift nets which kill lots of dolphin. However, I have started eating dolphins, so it feels like I'm maintaining some sort of karmic balance.
