I am a vegan because meat take 70 percent of your energy to digest apposed to other softer foods that take less energy to digest. Meat has a lot of bad cholesterol and loads of fat and whatever hormones were put into the food of the animal. If you decide to be vegetarian make sure you take a (b complex vitamin) supplement. There is no moral issue unless you actually kill the animal. The animals dead. It dos not car if you eat it. Peace.

I'm not convinced your research is balanced, which was my request. I know you are a smart guy and I consider you a friend. I don't mean to be a pain (although I probably already am!) and I seriously wish you well and I respect whatever decision you make. Good luck!

As ever, it depends what question you ask. You can find plenty of "evidence", but simply quoting sources isn't the same as knowing what's going on. How does eating grain equate to good health? How does it work? Why is it that societies who eat more meat and fat (like the French and the Greeks) are healthier than high carb countries like the USA and UK? I'm not saying you cannot live healthily as a vegetarian, but it is extremely difficult for the reasons I outlined.

That would be the consensus view that has led us to a state of such ill health that almost 10% of the UK health budget goes on treating diabetes alone. I'd urge you to read Gary Taubes' on this before you make your final decision. The problem with the consensus view is that it does not easily take other variables into account. People who make considered decisions about their diet are likely to be healthier regardless of what diet they use.

I've seen no evidence that a proper vegetarian diet leads to IBS. Prove it.
And it's quite possible to get all the iron you need on a vegetarian diet. I acknowledge that vegetarian diets provide only non-heme iron, which is absorbed in smaller percentages, but the diet includes more iron in the first place, so the overall absorbed amount remains the same. And anyway, heme iron is associated with colon cancer.

Peri, that is an absolutely ridiculous over-generalization. I hope that remark was intended to be some sort of humorous hyperbole.

I have a lot of respect for you. This video was seriously well thought out and well resourced. It's good to see someone who isn't vegetarian putting the effort into this kind of research.

Please, I'm begging you, do more balanced research!

Peri, I *have* researched. The sidebar now includes links to the scientific conclusions of the The American Dietetic Association and the Dietitians of Canada group. It also contains a link to a metastudy published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, which concluded that vegetarians live longer than regular meat eaters. (Vegans were just as bad as the regular meat eaters, and vegetarianism was better than both of them)

Participants in the metastudy included the Imperial Cancer Research Fund, Cancer Epidemiology Unit, Oxford, United Kingdom; the Center for Health Research and the Department of Biostatistics and Epidemiology, Loma Linda University, CA; the Department of Public Health and Policy, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, London; the Centre for Applied Public Health Medicine, University of Wales College of Medicine, Cardiff, United Kingdom;
