It wasn't horrible or anti-vegetarian, but it was painfully out-of-date and misrepresented things - espcially about the need to combine proteins. I was discouraged.
It wasn't so bad, but I think he didn't clarify enough. His "strict vegetarian diets" example was macrobiotic. It would have been nice if he explained what that was for the viewers and clarified that a regular vegan diet really only has the B12 issue (which is what I think I might have picked up). BTW - that was a very short interview for NPR. You would think with the recent headlines that would have been a 15 minute interview, at least.
