144 - while you are correct healthy people should have a balance between all meat and vegatarianism if they are going to get what they need from food, any one who has a heart or neurological problem increases their health significantly by eating all meat. People with severe neurological problems aren't just put on high meat diets - they are specifically forbidden from all fruit (because it prevents the channels in their brain from functioning correctly), and many vegetables - most commonly carrots, broccoli, peas, all soy (because of the estrogen in it which destroys the myelin sheath on your brain cells - something they have little to none of in the first place). Before it was known that these people shouldn't eat fruits and most vegetables, the treatment for them was periods of starvation. Now its known they can get the same benefits as starvation periods, without the drawbacks, by having the bulk of their food come from the most fatty meats. Over 90 percent of people with neurological problems who eat strictly adhere to eating this way can reduce or eliminate the need for medication and have normal life expectancy. Cardiovascular disease and stroke has a 50-70 percent reduction when eating a diet high in red meats and fatty oils (the healthy ones like olive). No one in the high fat test groups has yet to die from a repeat heart attack - though several have died in the more vegatarian and US food pyramid test groups since they've been studying this over the past 10 years

fail for bring a vegetarian fail for eating soy

Although I'm not a vegetarian, I do feel for you. I hope you can find a substitute for the soy! Good Luck!

AnaDoll Sorry, but you are indeed ignorant. I have no problem with vegitarians. i mean thats now how we are genetically. We are clearly omnivores. Bears eat mostly vegetables and the likes, mostly because meat is difficult to attain in the wild. It isnt for us. Therefor one can conclude its only natural for us to eat it. Though i agree we eat far to much red meat

Proud liberal is a pompous ass. Proud liberal's logic is that everyone who thinks slightly different from him is a republican. GTFO the internet.

26(ccyto) - Carnivore ;) I can understand vegitarianism for non meat likers, but cannot stand the ones who do it to "save animals"

eat a freakin' stake! good lord...

Save a cow, eat a vegetarian

I know I already commented but this point needs to be stressed: you jerks keep your ignorant comments to yourself. Vegetarianism is NOT wrong. It is wrong to judge a person on what they eat or don't eat. Now, go eat twice the daily recommended amount of meat like most other Americans do. While you do that, here are some things to check out: http://www.vernoncoleman.com/eatingfor.htm http://www.emagazine.com/view/?142 http://why-vegetarian.blogspot.com/2007/07/why-eating-meat-is-bad-for-you.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIjanhKqVC4 Have fun.
