..animals don't eat those foods. The human brain evolved on highly nutritious animal protein and vegetables with come fruits and seeds when they were in season. This is the reason why humans are the smartest animals on earth. The brain requires a lot of calories especially from fat. " About two-thirds of your brain is composed of fats...Myelin, the protective sheath that covers communicating neurons, is composed of 30% protein and 70% fat." - fi.edu/learn/brain/fats.html

That quack doctor is spreading dangerous info - he is already brain washing people on PBS. How can he compare human beings with large ruminants. We are not cows, Gorillas, hippopotamus, rhinoceros, giraffe, elephant. They eat all day to consume enough food, then they use their specialized digestive system to process vast amounts of pant foods. Humans do not have the 4 stomachs of a cow. If you want to use this argument don't eat: any grains, beans and SOY beans, nuts, seeds because these ->

Cheese, butter, dairy products, (vegetable) oil, sugar, (flat?) white flour. I never eat these on a Paleo diet.

That poor baby, they're feeding her soy milk. I was fed soy infant formula, and that STILL haunts me today. I will never be as healthy as people who were breast fed. Soy formula is loaded with 38 mg of isoflavones a day. This is the same as giving a baby a hormone load of *3 to 5* birth control pills every day.

@FemmeBleu Breastfeeding is always healthiest. For what it's worth, most vegan moms that I've come across breastfeed their newborns.

As far as soy goes, large long-term studies of Asian women have shown that those who ate soy daily during childhood and adolescence had much lower rates of cancer than those who did not. Also, if you think cow's milk is free of hormones and other harmful chemicals and is not a thoroughly processed food, you have some reading to do.

@xenophile84 Asians eat highly fermented soy based foods in small quantities, such as: tempeh, miso and soy sauce - they are by NO means the main course. Fermentation deactivates most of the trypsin inhibitors that cause gas, bloating, pain and diarrhea.

Chinese ate soy as a protein source only when they were starving (Manning, Against the Grain, p.71).

"Tofu was served as a condiment, consumed in small amounts, usually in *fish* broth, not as a main course" (Keith, The Vegetarian Myth, 212).

@xenophile84 Breast milk will only be as good as the mother's diet. PERIOD. Also, I NEVER said I recommended cow's milk. I actually am HIGHLY allergic to it, and have grown up detesting it, even when my parents force fed me it. I am 5 years cow's milk free FYI. If you had done your READING of my earlier comments you'd have known, instead of foolishly prejudging me.

The only thing "less good" is that the most people in this video seem to have little hair, and I have been reading and a lot of vegans complain about hair loss. I'm just struggling about becoming vegetarian, most of my meals are vegetarian but I love meat and I feel bad about eating it. grrrr

Look closely at the facial development of the children then ask yourself if it looks right to you. It's funny how the parents rationalize their decision by saying "well, it's better than those Happy Meals at McDonalds..." That's what I call great parenting!

[xenophile84]

@boaire Facial development?? Are you insane??? These kids look like their parents. They look like normal, healthy, happy children. Google 'American Dietetic Association vegetarian.'

@xenophile84 At 1:10 in the video, the young girl, Naomi. It's not normal facial development for a young girl to have such a narrow jaw, pinched nostrils. This facial injury begins in-utero with a diet low in fat soluble vitamins of the mother, if nothing changes, the baby is born with serious damage. You usually don't see this too much with adults who turned vegan later in life. At 3:11 girl on the left, the girl at 3:57, check the facial development on the girl at 4:48, yikes!
