Weston Price was a dentist, not a nutritionist, not a physician, and he did not get the Nobel Prize. There is more lunacy involved with diet than anything else I am aware of, except the stock market. In light of the fact that my own bones and teeth are fully formed, I don't think eschewing meat and animal fat for a while is going to hurt me. My sister and her husband and grown daughters became vegetarians a couple of years ago. I've observed how angry it makes my father - for some reason, he takes it as a personal affront. My sister has lost a lot of weight - I think it's been good for her. Drinking my first cup of coffee with rice milk instead of cow's milk. Not bad.:)

If you are genuinely interested in the current state of research on vegan diets, you can access it on the National Institute of Health's search program, PubMed. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov:80/entrez/query.fcgi?db=PubMed Vegans need to be careful to supplement their diet with Vitamin B12, which is not present in most plant products. It can be formed as a byproduct of fermentation, which means it's present in fermented soy products like tempeh, but if it were me, I'd either take a sublingual B12 supplement every day or eat nutritional yeast. I've been supplementing my diet with nutritional yeast for many years, and like it just fine, but many do not like it. vrg.org
