Thanks, I'll look for that, perhaps at the university library I'll have some luck. His conclusion was that he never found a culture of true vegetarians that were truly healthy....The book is backed up with photos of twins on different diets and lotsa x-rays. This would not surprise me. Perhaps its not impossible to meet dietary requirements but may be very hard for some cultures, climates and lifestyles. I don't recall meeting any vegan distance runners... although a couple of my faster friends were also fish eating (and beer guzzling) pasta eatin' 'vegetarians'. Myself, I was never faster or healthier, I think, than when I was following that diet. Always check out both sides of the story especially when your kids health is at stake Yes this is a big concern for me since the effects over the long term of any diet can be critical. Of course this cuts both ways - I first gave up meat because of environmental and health reasons, and none of these problems have gone away and are in fact receiving more and more attention. Just one more thing for a parent to be thinking about. Like we need more... (PS, a confession - even at the height of my almost militant vegetariansm, the smell of roasted lamb shoulder, greek style, could almost (and once) knock me off the wagon so to speak. I found this very interesting since the thought of drinking milk or eating a steak was revolting to me at the time.)
