Again, never implied or stated. Just because I said one might develop illness from sticking to one kingdom or the other doesn't mean that I said you must eat more meat than plant matter.

You will find I never said you did on any account. I do things like this under the assumption that we aren't the only two reading the thread.

Start off a baby on a starving diet and do that for a few generations, and I bet that family would be pretty healthy, too. Too late for that, for us. Let's stick to what we can change. Unless you want to move to africa and raise your kids in poverty. Good luck with those flies, they pack a nasty punch.

Interesting take. But you will find that we share the same biological processes, though they might be of varying degrees. I don't think they differ so much as to say that Africans don't need fortified dairy, but Caucasians do. There are many factors to bone density and diet is a huge one. We tend to drink more alcohol and caffeine than many other continents, which is probably a higher factor than anything else other than hormone- or age-related issues. Actually, I read recently that soy protein is a big help because of both the isoflavones and calcium fortification. Women at risk would be best off doing resistance training and eating a balanced diet. Simply consuming lots and lots of dairy probably isn't enough.

Ironically as well, I take no supplements and am very healthy....

Nice work on your diet. Besides cooking your beef more thoroughly and reducing the amount of cheese you consume, I'd have no other recommendations.

Fair enough. Then there are the stories where people virtually save their lives by going vegetarian. High cholesterol and risk of heart disease become a thing of the past for many of those who take the leap. But you're right; it's not for everyone. There is no "one true diet."

I'm debating with a vegetarian....
I wasn't even trying to debate really, just discuss, but you've analyzed everything I've said with a fine tooth comb. Of course I've replied in kind, but it just looks ugly and nit-picky.

If you think I used my fine-toothed comb and was being nit-pickey, holy crap, you have no idea.
I thought were were just having a conversation.
I'm welcome to taking it into a direction of your choosing. Do you want to know what my ideal diet is? What else do you want to talk about?
(You'll notice I dropped certain things such as
chitin and
African genealogy ...talk about nit-picking....
