That's why I said that our cultural eating habits do not yet support being vegetarian (unless one is willing to do a lot of extra work figuring everything out). In India, for instance, it comes as second nature for many people and they do a pretty good job of it. There is still some protein deficiency.

I can't explain that statement, but been wanting to state my ideas. Lots of things are problems with being a vegetarian, Food supply Variety of Food Quality of food Cost of food, if one can find it. I understand it is harder on the environment than not being a non vegetarian. Wild animals are very efficient at harvesting their food supply and require no gas and oil for energy. Plus........ I have said for many years that few people are knowledgeable enough to be a vegetarian. Most have no idea of the protein, fat, carb ratio that they should target. Back in the 50's the ratio was stated to be 40 % fat 40 % protein 20 % carbs I realize that would change somewhat for a pure vegetarian. A huge variety of seeds and nuts can provide enough fats. Some research indicates we need some saturated fat. Not sure how they would get this. I realize there has been lots of different ideas on protein requirement. The average height of the adult male and life expectancy is in proportion to the number of grams consumed per day. Too much is bad also. One great doctor says, to live longer, eat less protein. He does not say eat no protein. Finally comes the issue of complete and incomplete proteins. Amino acids are hard to balance for a vegetarian. The two classes, Essential and Non-Essential are highly misleading. They are all essential. The ones classified as non essential are to be made by the body. Many people have problems whereas they cannot make the non essential amino acids, so .......... they become essential for the diet. Wild animals eat 100 or more plants per day and stay on a food plot an average of 20 minutes. If the missing amino acids in one food are not found in another food within 30 minutes, they will not complement each other to produce a complete protein. Simply stated, this is all too complicated for the average human to cope with. He best eat some meat, eggs, and milk to keep from overloading his mind and blowing a fuse. Yes, I eat little meat, small servings of 1 to 3 ounces at most. I do take amino acid supplements, eat a few eggs, and some milk. Heck, I did not mention B-12 but everyone knows about that. I welcome anyone to disagree with me or disprove anything I said because it is mostly my opinion. Some of if is based on facts. <grin> All the above is a work load that is hard to shoulder. If we get into Biological Transmutation, the whole ball game changes. Wayne ========================== -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
