I am quite well aware of the nutritional balance involved and have absolutely no fear that my own free will dietary choices - that my own body asks me for - is actually part of some kind of conspiracy. I am not telling anyone what is right for their body and am not asking anyone to do the same for me.

In this case I failed to bite my tongue because potatoes and bananas are two of the most nutrient deficient cheap supermaket carb fillers that people eat.
And potatoes are nightshades which cause severe problems (arthritis) in about 10% of people. Although this is well researched it is kept quiet.
Most high yield modern breeds of potato are arguably not even a real food anyway, and certainly not a nutritious one.
Kumera (sweet potatoes) are much better, but they cost about 10x the price of modern potatoes so most people buy the cheap crap.
I'm saying this because you are popular, and maybe someone with arthritis will read this and go and check out nightshades for themselves.

If certain foods are problematic for some people then it is appropriate to mention it and for them to find out and use alternatives. However, if I stop the use of every plant that people could theoretically have a problem with, including the various allergy forms and beyond - I would be quite significantly reducing my options. Do you walk into restaurants and ridicule them for serving potato or banana?

There are not many restaurants I go to but when I do I have checked out the menu fully.
I stopped eating potatoes in 98, but then did a lot of research into heritage potato breeds in 2006 and started eating essentially the worlds best organic herratige potatoes. After a year I was unable to bend my arms. When I stopped all nightshades the problem went away in 48 hours.
With vegans, I am interested in the dental health of people who have had a vegan diet for longer than seven years. The reason I talk to you about this even though I know you strongly disagree is because you are the only one I've found whose teeth aren't messed up, and we are getting customers asking for our foods every day because their teeth are a mess from eating a vegan diet...

It is true that heirloom varieties are significantly better options in general. The fact that humans are so reckless and out of tune with the biology of our world does not mean that veganism should be avoided. Being in balance means largely disposing of our 'advanced technological' approach to food production.
I can show you many vegans who do not have dental problems who have been vegan for much loner than me. My teeth are not perfect by any means but then they never have been, both before and after becoming vegan. Without restorative dentistry my mouth would be a bit of a mess. I put this down, in part, to living in Britain where it is literally impossible for me to get enough sunlight to ensure the correct functioning of some of the processes in my body. Again, living naturally - out doors - would go a long way to helping this, but in Britain and perhaps in New Zealand (I'm not sure) it still wouldn't be enough. Our planet is hugely out of balance (including it's axial tilt) and so we have a lot working against us.

NZ is famous for sun - it's pretty strong - but even 8 hours a day in summer wouldn't be enough to provide real nutrient (Vit D) levels. Good for some sun burn though!
I was hot when I took this photo (Napier). The one above was near Queenstown - awesome place.
