Hey, we are all into everyone doing what works for them.
Personally I'm also into "what works in the lab" ... some things are
not just personal opinion, there is good science to back them up. This
is one reason I really respect Dr. Bert. This diet, Fast-5, is not
something he made up to make a buck. It's well-researched and he
packaged it to make it easier to understand and follow for more
people.
So if someone here gets up and says: "I don't like eating food that is
colored purple" ... hey, I totally respect that, it's a personal
choice. Personally I can't stand food with certain textures, such as
pancakes or French toast. No real reason: my brain just doesn't like
them.
If someone gets up and says "Purple foods cause cancer" though, it's
likely to provoke a debate, because *that* is something that can be
argued based on lab results.
Vegetarianism, in web groups in general, falls somewhere between those
two. For some people it's an aesthetic or emotional thing: they don't
like the idea of eating what was once alive. For others, it is
scientific: they are convinced that meat causes, say, cancer.
For me personally, it's somewhere between the two. I'm convinced that
farming is one of the big things killing lots and lots and lots of
animals (turning rainforest into soy farms is a biggie right now:
feeding soy to humans is bad. Feeding soy to cows is worse). And I'm
also pretty sure that our way of raising beef right now produces a
very unhealthy kind of beef. However, people are extrapolating from
that, that ALL beef and ALL animal products are unhealthy. This is,
overall, producing more and more soy production to create fake-meat
products, because humans really can't live long on plain fruits and
vegies, though it's a great way to lose weight. If you want to find
the ideal diet for human beings, you need to look at the whole of
human history, paleantology, anthropology, and even old cookbooks.
Don't look to modern humans: our food system is seriously weird from
an historical perspective.
Anyway, I don't think anyone is offended. Some of us here are from a
group that routinely argues these things and you can expect an
argument (complete with references!), but it should be a good-natured
argument. Dialog is a great thing, and it didn't go away with
Aristotle.

Everyone has their personal beliefs and by saying what Ive said doesnt mean that thats the way it is and everyone else is wrong, lol! I completely respect everyones beliefs and thoughts. I just read back thru my posts and it just kinda looks like Im giving that impression. I just truly feel that our bodies are not designed to digest meat and that meat is the culprit for many diseases
