Another reason I feel almost "proud" to be a veggie is a more global view.
Vegetables are a more efficient source of protein than meat. 40 per cent of today's world grain production is used to feed meat-producing livestock.
Something for everyone to think about  |
Hence the wealthy eat meat and the poor don't. Here in the USA they throw away grain and corn because the produce more than they can use. (they feed it to the masses as corn syrup the worst food on the planet for health reasons) Eventually that will come to a stop (we hope).
There are substitutes that help in the vegetarian situation
I mentioned them before
milk, whey, cottage cheese, yogurt
but again its dairy and some people will not eat it.
Some things can't be substituted for aka fish oils and fish, but you have to make do.
I have a project where I commisioned a film producer to do a documentary on a program I created (my fast food diatia - release in the fall after the law suits LOL). The people only get to eat mcdonalds for 30 days just like in "super size me" but they have to eat it the way I designed (my menu selections) and they have to follow my exercise routine, the results are the opposite of what people would expect. Their BP levels, cholesterol, trioglicerides, bodyfat attitude is, well put it this way, most people would pay big money to be as healthy or liook as good as they do after the experiment.
