No society in history has been vegetarian. The reason is
because vegetarian mothers have sickly, brain-damaged
babies. You're leaving in a crackpot fantasy land, and I hope to God you have no children.

There have been many societies that had a plant-based diet. The curious fact is that they were nearly devoid of cardiovascular disease and were long lived, UNTIL the society changed to meat/fat eating. Funny you should bring up "brain damaged" as a result of one's diet. Have you heard of MAD COW DISEASE? BTW I have a child...beautiful, lean and healthy graduate student in environmental studies at Western Washington University. DAMN PROUD of her too. Suggest you try REDI-BURGER, a vegan food available online. With the right preparation, you may be surprised that becoming a vegan can be quite easy and your physician will marvel at the decrease in your blood pressure! Working out daily is a great adjunct to a vegan diet...watch that roll of belly fat disappear!
