On the other hand it presents an interesting puzzle. Thankfully I don't have to eat wheat like I have to avoid coffee.

Wheat is for man, you're just broke. :P (This is a joke)
I look at it like fasting, we are supposed to fast but some, such as diabetics can't just go 24 hours without food, they'll slip into a coma and die. And I truly believe the lord understands and accepts our desire and action to live his law as closely as we can given the physical limits of our mortal (and thus flawed bodies).
Besides, its talking about whole wheat, I imagine a lot of members don't eat any more whole wheat flour than you do (me likes whole wheat personally).

That particular Sunday was my least favorite Sunday of all because I got attacked by everyone for being a vegan .

Being Vegan is not required by the WoW, you can be such if you want but I've run into a those who feel its demanded by it, which it most certainly isn't, don't know if your the type though. For the record eating a 72 oz steak every night for dinner not only isn't demanded is against it, so I do understand where you are coming from. Sparingly is a sticky issue though, most eat meat sparingly compared to a lion, but I don't think that's what the Lord meant.
Also, if you actually do talk about killing animals for food as murder that's gonna get some looks and possibly some fingers, both the law of the land and the lord do not feel killing and eating an animal is murder. Strong stances and emotionally charged language tends to beget the same.
I'm curious, why vegan and not just vegetarian? Unfertilized eggs don't suffer any and are a good source of protein, same with cheese and milk. I imagine it's something about the conditions in which they are produced but you can get them from other sources than the mass produced stuff and in the end that has nothing to do with nutrition.
