How well do dietary guidelines by British Dietetic Association (BDA) align with those by Plant-Based Organizations like ACLM, PCRM, PBHP (UK), Plantrician Project, DFN, and PAN? Do they endorse a vegan or plant-only food system?

(2017) British Dietetic Association confirms well-planned vegan diets can support healthy living in people of all ages Excerpts:

"British Dietetic Association, has affirmed that a well-planned vegan diet can "support healthy living in people of all ages" in an official document signed by its CEO."

"The BDA has renewed its memorandum of understanding with The Vegan Society to state that a balanced vegan diet can be enjoyed by children and adults, including during pregnancy and breastfeeding, if the nutritional intake is well-planned."
