A genuine vegetarian doesn't eat seafood either, that is one of my dog or cat hates when people say they are vegetarians but eat seafood. If a sizable number of individuals turned to vegetarianism, the demand for meat in america and European countries would fall, the supply of grain would considerably increase, but the buying vitality of poor starving people in Africa and Asia wouldn't change at all.

It's much more compelling by comparison, especially when supported with the fact that the person at concern actually does care about all the beings, including pets or animals (even if s/he doesn't consider veganism is the very best possible way of lowering suffering). Some vegan proponents aren't very genuine when they try to persuade others of the virtues of the vegan diet.

The fact that animal protein contributes to cardiovascular disease is a favorite one that has no foundation in healthy science. Beyond questionable studies, there exists little data to support the idea that meat-eating causes heart disease. For example, the France have one of the best per capita use of beef, yet have low rates of cardiovascular disease. In Greece, beef consumption is higher than average but rates of cardiovascular disease are low there as well. Finally, in Spain, an increase in meat eating (in conjunction with a decrease in sugar and high carbohydrate intake) resulted in a decrease in heart disease (37).

A 100% vegetarian or vegan (pronounced VEE-gan) is someone choosing a lifestyle clear of canine products for the benefit of people, pets or animals and the environment. They eat a plant-based diet free from all canine products. Many choose not to wear leather, wool, or silk (adapted from a quote on The Vegan Society's website). I also enjoy homemade muesli with oats, nut products, seeds, some dried fruit (not too much, as we directly watch our glucose intake) mixed with organic yogurt, or coconut dairy.

Though it appears that some people prosper on little or no meat and stay healthy as lacto-vegetarians or lacto-ovo-vegetarians, the reason for it is because these diets are healthier for those individuals, not because they're healthier generally. However, a complete absence of animal products, whether meat, fish, insects, eggs, butter or dairy, is to be avoided. Though it might take years, problems will eventually ensue under such eating regimes and they'll certainly show in future generations. Dr. Price's seminal research unequivocally showed this. The explanation for this is easy evolution: humanity developed eating animal foods and fat as part of its diet, and our bodies are suited and familiar with them. One cannot change development in a few years.
