RE: There is nothing wrong with eating animals. Man and other animals have done that since we were swinging from the trees. We are adapted to the diet of meat of fish and sea/land animals, which is practically the sole source of vitamin B12, (just as we need sunshine and lots of it, every day, as it is the sole source of vitamin D.) If we don't get these meat-borne vitamins, sun, and the C-group bioflavonoids (anti-oxidants) in our diet, eventually our vascular health will degrade seriously. Dr. Victor Herbert, of FDA-advisory fame, was aware of the seriousness of that to the degree that he eventually recommended fortification of bread and milk with these vitamins. (main B group and folic acid.). The Inuit, as I am sure you are ignorant, HAVE to eat seal, walrus and whale or their health will go right downhill. They will all die young. The diet we feed them makes them ill before their time and raises our public health bill in the North markedly. It is cheaper to let them, even encourage them, to eat wild meat as they have for 17,000 or more years. Inuit and Northern Indian have an enzyme in their gut (that we don't have) that better digests protein of that kind. This they get more out of the food.(something I long suspected by observation but only recently confirmed.) The Indian should be encouraged to eat sun dried and cold smoked Caribou, as it would improve their health as well. As many of 30% of them have diabetes. With the predominantly fat/protein diet that disease factor would disappear. We should however watch more carefully for over-harvesting than we presently do. We just about wiped out the Cod, probably more from Russian and Portugese cheating with factory ships breaking the rules on too-small fish rather than our basic policy. But we could not read basic stats at a tech college level or we would never have allowed it to go on as long was we did. EC<:-}
