Thanks Baraka. I understand now, and I respect the choice more. Honestly. I can see why vegans and vegetarians in general, then, talk about growing their own food. I can tell you now, working directly in agricultural research for years (and maybe again soon since my IT jobs have disappeared) that one week of treatment in a field kills vastly more insects than an entire harvest of honey on a farm could ever hope of killing in terms of bees. And that's on a small farm, I'm not even beginning to touch on the big operations.
It might also explain why my sister took up buddhism, however like I said before, she's more into the "fad" than the actual practice, at least towards other humans. She's a hateful creature, makes me as a teenager look nice LOL.
Thanks also Cinnamon and Genuine, it gives me more insight into how people can do the diet, and why the result can be so varied.
I do think there is a genetic component to this as well, making it easier for some and harder for others. It makes sense, but of course isolating the factors and being able to read someone's dietary needs through DNA is the holy grail of all dieters the world over.... and it's not going to happen anytime soon.
