[quote=Anonymous]I don't think meat is bad, I think industrially grown meat is bad. If animal protein were so horrible, then Natural Selection should have eliminated the Alaska's Inuit people long time ago, what is doing them in now is processed foods and Alcohol.  There is actually no indigenous culture that eats only a plant based diet by choice.

My point is, what is important is that people eat what their body has evolved to flourish on. The modern American diet will take a few million years to adapt to junk food and there will be a lot of disease that will have to kill off a bunch of people before it can be tolerated at the current levels; and considering modern medical intervention propping sick, fat people up longer than they would naturally be alive on the planet, we might never adapt.

Common sense will tell you that if you simply follow Michael Pollan's advice of Eat food.Not too much.mostly plants. This is probably what your body is happiest on...if you are from a more northern climate, I would bet that your body is most happy on a higher protein diet that someone who is equatorial.

I think a diet of any extreme that allows for processed foods is not healthy and will lead to problems.  What has worked for the Chinese for thousands of years might not work from someone who is of European descent.  There is no magic formula, just stay away from junk and food that is grown/raised in an unnatural manner.[/quote]
