Everyone can figure it out for themselves. What is known is that humans evolved as meat eaters. We weren't cow herders and grain eaters from day one, go back a few thousand years and such is only done in specific places and is not the norm. It's no surprise allergies to dairy and grains are the most heard of allergies. Hardly anyone is allergic to meat, fish, eggs, or berries. Diets that don't include meat or fish are very young on the time scale of human history.
It's about what is necessary for good health. Sure, everyone could live as a vegan but it would be far from optimal.
By the way, if you eat fish and eggs than you're hardly in a place to make a case for veganism being optimal for health. You still speak from a place of eating animal foods and getting the benefit of B12 and D vitamins and cholesterol. Let me tell you one thing I learned: having sympathy for vegans whilst not being one yourself means you are still their enemy.
