I have yet to see a healthy vegan. A common sense diet with exercise has served mankind for a long time. Beef. It is what is for dinner.
Agree re. the vegans. All those I've seen look absolutely unhealthy and colorless.
Think I'll bbq some ribs this weekend...
Now I'm not sure of cause vs effect, but he was always pale, anemic looking and unhealthy. I, however, a picture of carnal dining, remain overweight but healthy.
Vegans and vegetarians are not the same. Vegans don't eat milk or any dairy products. It's a dangerous diet. A vegetarian with dairy products is a very healthy way to live as long as it's not a junk food diet.
You nailed it.
Interesting note. I recently read that Ben Franklin tried the vegan diet (or a diet quite similar) for awhile but had a hard time mainting.
Check my homepage, you'll see three very healthy vegans. You just have to be smart about it (Oh, and I'm not one of the vegans) :)
You can't be healthy if all you eat is veggies... there are just certain neccessary nutrients that you cannot get from plants. There is a reason we have incisors.
Diet and excercise are the best... I don't care if folks are Vegan/Vegetarian myself... just don't try to push it on the rest of us, and for God's sake recognize your kids NEED FAT AND ANIMAL PRODUCTS WHEN THEY ARE YOUNG!!
Nothing worse than seeing a kid who is lagging behind in motor skills, size, and brain development because their fruitcake parents are denying them essential things that while not great for adults are absolutely essential for children.
My Father was very careful about what he put in his body. Didn't drink, smoke...he didn't each much meat...everything in moderation, really. He died of Colon Cancer, a cancer they told us had been in his body for a very long time. He also had bladder cancer and prostate cancer. Sometimes I just think it's the luck of the draw.
