I think this is important so i repeat. No matter what your diet --- moderation is key It is what you don't put in your body that keeps you healthy

Yes all my words You have explained that you don't have time to prepare food and eat properly. When you go back to meat eating stay away from junk processed food. What keeps us healthy is what we don't eat Dr Joel Fuhrman, a medical doctor and vegan says you can eat up to 12 ounces of meat a week after that disease starts to kick in. You might find his books interesting. He backs up his information with references to studies that have been done.

Did you read the book - do you know for a fact that it's not a valid review? If i were to read the book the only reason would be to see what she 'says' she ate while being vegan to see where she went wrong - there always is a chance she ate well and her body just couldn't adapt. The attitude - this didn't work for me and therefore it is no good for everyone. I must tell everyone is a born again attitude = religion. As to the ideas she presents I have no interest - whatever her ideas the opposite will be presented somewhere else. I'm sure some of the ideas she presents are true - she can't be 100% off. This is not a matter of intellectual argument for me

A review of The Vegetarian Myth: Food, Justice, and Sustainability, by Lierre Keith, http://www.theveganrd.com/2010/09/review-of-the-vegetarian-myth.html

Gather around children and i will tell you how i became a vegetarian. Once upon a time over 40 years ago i was renting a summer cottage on a lake and every weekend we would barbecue barbecue barbecue On the last day of the last weekend of our stay - it was labor day. We bought frozen chicken and I put it to flame. It wasn't quite cooked enough - i took a bite and something happened - a shft took place There was a subtle shift a curtain a veil was removed a n d i lost my desire, all desire for meat. The thought of eating meat didn't make me sick, didn't disgust me it's only that the desire left. Poof it was gone. That was the last time i ate meat. Vegetarian wasn't even in my vocabularly or my consciousness. It was hard finding restaurants to accommodate me, most people couldn't understand me not eating meat. It was a difficult time. Today vegetarians are accommodated everywhere and cool people are vegetarians. I was lucky that being a vegetarian is a healthy choice. i don't know what would have happened to me if it wasn't. Poets are often eaten alive; their flesh can be quite tender. At one time I ate dead bodies with the best of them, never fully understanding the implications and the pain of how they arrived at my table. Then one day the desire, to eat empty houses of souls who have left or been forced to evacuate, was gone. What to do? With no effort, not knowing how or why; just as some people no longer wish to work, brush their teeth, exercise, or swim in the sea in dead of winter, my desire left me. What to do? I imagine human beings as quite tasty and would just as soon eat a cow, a cat, a dog, a pig, as a poet. So why the fuss. Sometimes I wake up in a cold sweat to the sounds of vegetables screaming! What to do?

Do you have bloodwork to see if you are defficient in any thing. It's a good way to know what your body is lacking or has too much of

Send me the book and i will read it with an open mind and i will let you know my thoughts. If she ate correctly and 'suffered' as a vegetarian IMHO it does not justify her damming vegetarianism as not working for everyone. BTW the guy who ate the car was lucky he would not have fared as well if it had been a Honda

I haven't read the book, however i would bet she didn't know what she was doing. When I first became a vegetarian i became sick as i didn't know how to eat properly - although i must say i wasn't eating that well when i was a carnavore and i really wasn't too healthy then either. When i was shown the proper way I healed within a month. So i don't think it is justified to to make it into a black and white situation. From a health point of view IMHO there is nothing wrong with eating flesh as long as one doesn't over do it. There are plenty of healthy vegetarians out there - google a list of athletes. Vegetarianism has been around a long time and if it is considered a fad i would guess one could also consider eating flesh a fad. And of course there are no infomercials on the wonders of meat and junk food. However you choose to eat stay away from junk food - processed food - because it is not food.

leavesome room for food

I have been on a fad vegetarian diet for over 40 years. If one is making dinner with very little extra effort one can prepare the next days lunch. No matter what we eat processed foods are the worst Health bars are not always healthy Be happy with whatever you choose to eat If something doesn't taste good, satisfy your palette don't eat it

Wonder how Marvin Harris explains not eating shellfish and other scavangers - pigs fit into the scavanger catagory.

DreamBliss said: "Not that you wanted to receive an issue of the Daily Adventures of DreamBliss. But as some of you may know I went to I Am Light in Portland today. I ended up at Red Robin's for lunch. A woman comes up and starts talking to me. She is not drop-dead gorgeous or anything, and if you looked at her face she looked like someone who could be overweight, but she wasn't. I had no such thoughts about any of that until later. My overall impression was that I liked her and could date her, if she was available and wanted to date me. She just started talking to me, and I talked to her, and the conversation was very easy. She made me laugh, I made her laugh. I honestly don't think I could have done that if I hadn't been so tired and therefore off-guard. We just talked and laughed while waiting for our food. She didn't give me her number or anything, but did mention whee she works, so maybe I will look her up. I am proud of myself that I managed to keep my eyes on hers when talking to her." mYTHmAKER says: She obvious liked you on some level. Go back to Red Robin for lunch until you see her again or look her up where she works. And remember you are not drop dead georgeous IMHO

Ah but you know how to attract a woman so you might give him advice on that aspect
