Judging by the vernacular this is not from 1970.

Not sure what happened there; perhaps the submitter got confused with a different article. We've taken 1970 out of the title.

Umm, “July 30, 2018” is right there at the top, in case the URL wasn’t a give-away.

And I don't think "vegan" was in common use in 1970 either.
