NO BIASED ANSWERS PLEASE - is it factually healthier to be vegan or to eat animal products?

Assuming a mostly whole foods based diet is followed either way

You can be healthy or unhealthy eating a vegan diet or an omnivore diet. There are pros and cons to both. I would say it’s harder to eat an “optimal” diet as a vegan since you’re cutting out a food group that has a lot of good nutrients that it can be difficult to get elsewhere, so you need to pay more attention to make sure you’re eating a balanced diet, and supplementation is probably necessary.
On the flip side, most people probably eat too much red meat, processed meat, and dairy, and would be better off cutting back. It’s probably also harder to overeat on a vegan diet given the number of foods that are off limits.

I'm a chef who eats meat. I love coming up with vegan dishes though. Part of it is that I like making sure my menus have options for everyone (and "one bean burger and two salads" doesn't constitute significant options in my opinion). Vegan food can be just as delicious as nonvegan, and I'm always happy to find new ways to work with it to the delight to vegans.
I also don't mind having polite discussions with vegans where they explain why they think veganism is the right choice. I'm comfortable enough in myself and also not stubborn enough to think that my mind can't be changed when presented with new information. I eat animal products for a lot of reasons, but that doesn't mean I always will.
