Vegetarians can certainly have unhealthy diets, with lots of sugar, grains and soy. But those who eat whole plant based foods are as healthy as a human can possibly be. To say otherwise is to contradict all studies on the issue as well as common sense.

We can’t graze enough animals to feed the world carcasses 3 times a day, or even a few times a week. If we take away the massive government subsidies for carcasses, beef would cost something like $90 a pound. And all these tribal societies Weston Price talked about didn’t make animals a *regular* part of their diet. They generally used animals a ritual sacrifices and then ate the dead bodies when they were done. It’s still this way among ALL the “blue zone” populations … they eat animal flesh maybe once or twice a year.

And no, organic gardening doesn’t need to rely on animal wastes to be productive. Yep, that’s right, there’s propaganda and misconceptions even in organic farming. Animal wastes are quite unsanitary in gardening and carry all sorts of parasites that are harmless to the animal but are dangerous to humans. Cover crops, rock powders and vegetable composting can keep any organic garden quite robust without using feces.

Soy and wheat are terrible for health, that’s so true. The global mess we have from soy, corn and wheat production is horrendous. And I know from personal experience that wheat can cause estrogen dominance and all kinds of problems from that. I’m vegan and eat zero wheat and zero soy. I also use zero caffeine. And I’m healthier than I’ve ever been. I had two pregnancies … one with a 4 hour labor and one 45 minutes … and two robustly healthy and highly intelligent kids.

From what I can ascertain from what you write above, you were vegetarian when you were married to a vegetarian for a while and are now eating animals because you’re current husband eats animals. Maybe it’s healthier to decide for ourselves based on the facts?

I wonder what she was supposed to eat, a vegan diet based on soy?

See ya!
