Veganism

I won't go into the ethical arguments, but on biological level we are omnivores with a big preference for plant based food. I have friends who are biologist who say our natural dieet should be 98% plant based, 2% animal based. We can easely live from plants alone, but not from meat.

I was raised by a vegan mother (vegan since 1981) and a (biological) meat eating father, both hippies btw who farmed the biggest part of their own food. I learned from their education that it's more important to eat biologic organic food, than only this or that, and that variation is the best. Now i eat once or twice a week a little bit of meat and i do drink milk and eat butter and cheese (but all organic), and the rest of my food is organic vegan. I eat no fastfood or supermarket prepared food. That's how i feel the best...
 
@ waxx. Thanks for that. I'm quite confident that this is largely how the future will look and where the more reasonable and realist thinking is heading. I have had a lot of contact recently with vegan activists some of it quite close and personal, I have become aware through these contacts and then further study that quite often the motivation for some of the more extreme and confrontational behaviour can come from past trauma and am learning to take this into account when speaking to them.

Not sure the Inuit and other northern tribes would agree with that.
Besides meat and fish their only plant-based food is berries when in season and they get 75% of their daily calories from animal fat.
 
My relative became vegan about 10 years ago.She was very beautiful in the past and her skin became darker and darker and she withered up(i do not know if i have written true verb) IMHO people may eat some meat once a month to become healtier.Otherwise there may be some health problems.(AFAIK there are some aminoacids,vitamins and other components that can not be synthesized in our body and they should be got from animals)
