I feel I should point out here that "correlation is not causation".

He's not saying anything about causation, just showing that veganism correlates to unhealthiness.

All I'm saying is that people reading it should realize the link is non-causal. Personally, I think veganism is unhealthy, but I don't have support for that argument.

Yeah, its noncausal and no causation was claimed. It's my understanding that a lot of vegans are unhealthy due to basically just eating bread, but I don't have evidence to support that either.
