The processed foods thing i totally buy--vitamin B is not vitamin, for example, if it's manufactured. It's an out-of-matrix chemical replica. Imo, it's not the meat that's an issue: it's the meat we eat (after what we do to it.) <br /><br />Meat contains (and mind you, I have a hard time with meat, generally, because it IS dead animal) Heme iron, for which there isn't another source. Heme iron is absolutely essential for our health, especially optimal absorption of other nutrition. It's not in nutrition supplements, it hasn't been made in a lab that I know of, and countries that have a lack of eggs and meat also tend to have seroius nutritional deficiences. (most of us eat meat until we choose to be vegitarian, and a little while we're younger helps us develop more normally--i.e. we shouldn't be mad that our veg. kids sneak a chicken nugget while at school) <br /><br />Less meat? yes. Natural, grazing animal meat? YES. Definately not corn fed or chemically/genetically altered. Eggs? Organic, please! Organ meat (ew.) is still best. So I suggest reverting to treating animals how our ancestors did: hunting's hard. So we eat a little, and we eat it all. (ew.)
