Write your comments here... It's my reward for being Pure of mind and body.

A healthy diet is not just to remove meat completely.  We must have a balanced diet which can include a whole range of foodstuffs.  Including fish and meat.

Those who decide not to eat any previous living animal like Meat, Fish. Etc do so as a lifestyle choice and who are we to critisise them for their choice.

Where we have a challenge is when somebody wont eat anything which is cute and cuddly before slaughter and quite happly eat slaughtered animals/fish which are not so attractive. Then consider themselves  better than the rest of us..... Also they seem to be happy to wear the results of slaughtered animals. -----------------Two faced or what !!!!

So in conclusion I can appreciate the views of those who cannot countenance the slaughter of any living thing and live their lives accordingly.  Good for them.

Me, - I am happy to eat meat, fish ETC as long as it is done as part of a healthy balanced diet.  So I could happily comply with the thread title  -- Meatless Monday.

Agreed K.

Humans have evolved to be omnivoirs over the last 250,000 years or so.

We have evolved to eat a varied a balance diet.

Certain nutrients, such as Vitamin C which can only be got from plants and others such as Vitamin B12 and essential amino acid (Carnosine, Creatine and DHA's) that can only be got from meat.

Being Vegan (or a full carnivore) are as you say self imposed restrictive diets and as such are not healthy as they are not balance and in line with our evolutionary needs.

I think most of us could forego meat in some meals... as well as portion size etc. - but balance is the key.

You only have to look at the statistics that show that during rationing after the 2WW, was the healthiest time! 

One issue I DO have though is the reliously fanatical nature some Vegans adopt (and Red neck BBQers possibly for balance)

There have been numerous reports in the media lately where Vegan parents have been putting their children and pets on vegan diets and it has been severly impacting their development - Children being given almond milk in stead of cows milk and developing Rickets!! and cats/kitens dying.

This should not be allowed as this is child abuse, pure and simple - If they want to make that choice when they get older - fine, but deliberatly stopping them from growing by preventing the access to essential nutrients is wrong!!

I don't eat much meat, haven't done since I was young not through any particular reason just can't digest it well or drink raw cows milk. I do like cheese and can always find something tasty and nutritious to enjoy plus some white meat (poultry) and occasionally a bit of mince! So meatless Mondays or any meatless day is often the norm for me but I cook meat for the family. There is a genetic background to our ability to digest meat and animal milk that has altered over time, some animals can manage on vegetation alone.

I am not a vegatarian but I do eat things that were. I presume that is safe?

Avoid Panda meat...

I like meat but don't eat a lot of red meat, much prefer chicken/turkey love fish and shell fish, I do eat a lot of vegatables but wouldn't want to live on them unless I had too. I'm having enough trouble trying to kick sugar

Yes, TG, sugarless Mondays would be a start for me too.

Always  salt  on  my  porage  and  just  tiniest  of  tiny  pinches   in  my  coffee  !

And  that  salt  seems  to  "repeat"  on  'ere   {  To  clear  a  BP  !! }
