Sarcastic? Maybe 50%. You do have some good info, however. Thanks! ________________________________

The problem with creating '100%' healthy food is twofold. First, animals love to eat food that, in quantity, is bad for you. Fat, sugar, etc. are all very high-yield sources of calories, so our brains (designed back when food was scarce) just looooooove them. Second, there's no such thing as a food that you can overeat on and not get sick. If it has all the vitamins you need, you'll OD on the fat-soluble ones (like A) eventually. If it has a positive caloric yield, at some point it'll make you fat. If it doesn't, overeating of it may lead to a diet with too few calories (something most Americans wouldn't recognize). Hmm. Can you tell I've spent the last 10 years talking with nutritionists? Oi! And, at the end of this long reply, I realize that you just might have been being sarcastic. :-) --Ben Dawson, Michael wrote: >>I'd be willing to give up meat if there were decent and tasty > > alternatives, but I haven't found many. > > If humans were not meant to eat meat, why were possums created? > > I'm surprised that, in this day and age, that scientists have not yet > created "food substitutes" that are 100% healthy, but still have the > original flavor of a steak, muffins or a possum, for that matter. > > Basically, it would look like a steak and taste like a steak but be made > of some substance that provided all the healthy requirements.
