Mixed messages means that you need some experience so as to read between the lines.

Mixed messages, yes, but it shouldn't be that difficult to figure out. There are two possible explanations: 1) When some people try to live the vegan lifestyle, they may become addicted to "high carbs" and meat is often the solution to breaking that addiction. 2) Some people find that they can't sustain a vegan lifestyle because they don't particularly like fruits and non-starchy vegetables. So the solution, for them, is to go back to eating animal protein. (Item 1 & 2 above are closely related....they often become addicted to high carbs because they don't like fruit and vegetables.)
Also, if you want to write a book and have it be a big seller, it had better not be about Veganism. A 2011 Vegetarian Resource Group National Poll stated that only 3% of Americans say they are Vegans.
