Do you know anyone who only eats meat? (your cat doesn’t count).

“I have seen pictures and videos of these men, and they look extremely fit healthy, and vital, especially compared to their age-group peers.”

So did that Atkins guy…until he dropped dead, that is.

Every vegetarian I have seen has had bad, flaky, grey skin, and just clearly didn’t look healthy. (Something to do with the fact that there is at least one essential amino acid that is only animal-derived).

I was vegetarian for a few years and didn’t have bad, flaky gray skin. There is no essential amino acid exclusive to animal foods. There is a vitamin, B12, which is easy to obtain from animal foods but extremely difficult to get in sufficient quantities from plant foods, unless you want to eat like our ancestors and not wash and cook your veggies before eating them. B12 can be stored in the body for up to 7 years and symptoms of deficiency don’t show up for two to three years. The correct term for one who eats exclusively plant foods is vegan. Vegetarians may consume animal fats and proteins from dairy and/or eggs. Dr. Dean Ornish, Dr. T. Colin Campbell, and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn are three doctors who have published nationally best-selling books promoting vegan diets for long-term health. I have seen pictures and videos of these men, and they look extremely fit healthy, and vital, especially compared to their age-group peers. Avoiding animal foods alone is no guarantee of a healthy, balanced diet. Whether one is an omnivore or herbivore, one must take care to eat a varied diet that provides enough nutrients and avoid unhealthful foodstuffs. Not everything bad for you has a face or a mother.
