Thanks for your remarks Brooks, As always entirely reasonable and informative. I might say, that I have a good deal of respect for those who make a philosophical or spiritual commitment to the vegetarian way, but there are those who feel that being vegetarian is more healthy than not. In my opinion this is not true. I believe that the demonising of protein and saturated fat, and the lording of carbohydrates (complex or not), is responsible for much of the obesity and ill health (mental and physical) of western society. This unfortunately is coupled with the shunning and blocking of sunlight to the skin and eyes and creates a hormone and nutrient imbalance which gives rise to a myriad of chronic health problems which are difficult to find a cause for when looking at the symptoms only.
I find it a bit frustrating when I see the Heart Foundation endorsing products which to my mind only exacerbate the problems they are chartered to reduce, and I expect in a month or two to find community service announcements imploring people to use high factor sunscreen and to cover up when outdoors, denying them the very hormone (VitD3) which may enable their immune systems to fight the problems their diet is causing. Oh well, can but plug away to those who will listen.
