I would love it if people also spoke about “junk food” vegetarians who do not eat meat or a balanced diet. For example, a diet heavy on staples like breads and cheese or quick foods. The other thing I would like included in this discussion is food quality. The supermarket sold me a bag of old organic apples more than once. We have way to much product on the shelves and not enough of it is grown locally, regionally, nationally. 2 aisles of produce, 14 of packaged foods of every variety. Imagine walking someone from 2000 years ago through a supermarket aisle by aisle. Its staggering. But I just want this veg discussion to be more inclusive than simply meat. It is the whole spectrum of creating balance in feeding ourselves and the world. Thanks!

There are protein sources in the vegetable kingdom but NOT B-12. Where do you get your B-12? And don’t tell me from seaweed. That is also a myth.

ketosis diet…

Your topic diabetes in cats | Cats Problems was interesting when I found it on Saturday searching for ketosis diet…

Not to mention the increase in greenhouse gasses that accompanies a vegan diet – that offsets any reduction in your carbon footprint.

Mmmm. Interesing post, but this is not a “meat industry” myth. If you look at your basic science (btw, what exactly is your scientific education?) textbook, you will note that once homo-erectus began to consume meat more often, brain size increased dramatically. In fact, this rather large jump in evolution was due primarily to meat. So no, not all proteins are equal. Yes, we could all do to consume less red meat, but let us at least be honest about facts. We have omnivore bodies and digestive systems. If you make a moral choice to eat vegan, fine. I won’t bug you about your diet. But do not pretend that your diet is all that much healthier than a well-rounded diet.

I LOVE this post! With permission, I’d like to share it on Facebook and on my blog. More and more of my friends are becoming interested in my raw/vegan lifestyle and this is the perfect kind of information for me to conveniently leave “lying around” my electronic coffee table.

Kathy, I love the way that you write your message. It is even-handed and full of scientific information that simply can’t be disputed. You are one of my favorites of all time. Hugs to Kris for having you today, yaay!

I found a hilarious group on Facebook called, “Do You Eat Chicken? And Other Dumb Questions Vegetarians Get Asked.” If you need a laugh and a leg up from people who really understand your journey, go read that wall. It’s a total hoot and you’ll completely relate.
