<The bible is full of stories about people living to hundreds of years. I'll bet they didn't have any pesticides in their diet, nor did they take Prozac.> Uh, the life span in the Old Testament got shorter due to other reasons, but that's a debate of theology. But there is an instance in the Old Testament which featured a vegetarian diet. Daniel went on one so that he wouldn't have to eat the royal Babylonian food that the Israelites considered unclean. After ten days, he looked healtier and more well-nourished than the other young men who ate the royal food. (I assume the royal food was very rich and full of fat. I don't think noblemen would consider an all-veggie diet to be food fit for a king.) I'm an avid meat-eater, but I was considering going on a temporary veggie diet just to see what the results will be on my, er, "love-handles." Tenchusatsu
