That's true because there may be some vegans who are not primarily interested in optimizing their health. Their main interest may have to do with the humane treatment of animals. They might like to drink lots of soda and eat BIG pancake breakfasts with lots of syrup etc.. The same could be said of carnivores who eat poor diets. This means testing of some sort is needed, just like they are doing at some hospitals to make sure their employees are not smoking. They could also test for weight, cholesterol, blood pressure etc.. A poor diet usually shows up in those numbers.

Age will soon be a primary determining factor, if not the only factor, for very expensive health treatments and procedures though no one will dare admit it right now.

It's already happening to a certain extent. Some hospitals have been known to turn people away because of their age. Big operations get riskier as one gets older and some hospitals don't want to take the risk.
