Do angry vegans turn you against going vegan?

Agreed. there's nothing wrong with eating raw meat. all carnivores do it. and it's still common in many parts of the world.
 
There's nothing wrong with eating raw meat (I do it, too). There is something wrong with making your child eat only raw meat, though!

Unless you have to, why would you? It seems like she’s trying to make some silly point. That said, I guess there are plenty of vegans who force their lifestyles on their kids so is she any worse than them?

Why?

All parents make their children eat certain food and restrict others, that's how parenting works.

lifestyle and diet aren't entirely synonymous. It's a problem when vegans do it because a plant only diet isn't nutritonally complete.

Both ae wong when they result in a child not getting the nutrients they need.
 
A meat only diet isn't nutritionally complete either.
The argument made is that the amount of nutrients actually needed are sufficient when sourced from meat. For example, vitamin c isn't needed in the amounts the NHS lists if you're not eating carbs (essentially speaking) because it competes in the body for the same biological pathways. Since meat eaters on this diet aren't enduring scurvy, it doesn't seem to be a factor.
 
One thing I've noticed is that it common for healthy people to take up vegetarianism or veganism with health in mind as one of the benefits, but when they go back to eating meat it is not to 'become healthier' but is because they have actually become ill.

Hard to say how common this is, taken across all veg*ns, of course.
