Re: In Plants Too Revised Sept 2, 07

In that case how do you explain the fact that all of the longest lived people on earth all eat at least some meat? If humans adapted to eat meat, then they did it for millions of years now.  That explains the teeth which are made for eating both plants and meat.  If strict vegetarian is so correct, why don't mothers just feed their babies vegetables?

We aren't so far apart actually - you are right about veggies being better for you overall and I think that the more raw fruits and vegetables you eat, the better off you are . . . so long as you do not eliminate meat (especially fish) and dairy entirely.  Or else really know what you are doing and supplement well - and THAT would be adaption, because we are naturally adapted to eating some meat.

Congratulations on your wonderful health.  Mine is more like 120-130 over 80, but then I am 23 years older than you are.   And I do eat too much meat, even if only a fraction of what many eat and a healthier selection of meats overall too.

You assuredly must have excellent eyesight, as I can barely read your tiny words.  I always choose "small" - so us old blind folks can read it.

Please be aware of one thing - vegetarians are very health conscious by and large, working out, walking, jogging, riding bikes, etc., and have healthy lifestyles..  For that reason, many of them look and feel very good.  But many of them have deficiencies that are building up like and are ticking time bombs for later problems. that That is why some vegetarians that have been eating a strict vegan diet for years and look and feel good suddenly have preciptious declines in their health - the deficiencies finally catch up in the form of serious conditions and/or a precipitous decline in overall health and wellbeing.

So do be careful and supplement well!
