b) that because vegetarianism didn't work for your wife it doesn't work at all
c) iron in meat.... do you think that comes from space? no, it comes from plants
I could go on, but my MAIN point is that this is not what the thread is about. That goes for the question "why not eat beans?" as well.

Threadjacked, answered, and back again to the OP, right?
Anytime KFC is mentioned, it's almost inevitable the means of chicken raising will be mentioned. The devolution into meat versus vegan is just a hop, skip and a jump away. I eat meat, it's a conscious decision. I might not know all about the reasons not to, but I know vegans have a fairly good point.
Aberkok, under tilted food, why don't you start a vegan recipes thread?

I disagree that cooking is akin to processing in today's vernacular. Processing robs food of it's nutritional value while proper cooking can extually enhance nutritional value.
Soy is good if it is fermented, thus soy milk or soy protein isn't as good for you unless you are going through menopause and then the estrogen helps with hot flashes.
I hardly eat meat these days other than fish, which I like grilled or sashimi grade.

I've heard the same thing from our local science guru, Dr. Joe Schwartz. I like his approach, balanced, not given to hyperbole, and based on best evidence. He's quite moderate in his suggestions.
