The Other Side of Vegetarianism
Along with the unjustified saturated fat and cholesterol scares of the past several decades has come the notion that vegetarianism is a healthier dietary option for people. It seems as if every health expert and government health agency is urging people to eat fewer animal products and consume more vegetables, grains, fruits and legumes. This article is a discussion of the most popular claims made by vegetarians, with appropriate rebuttals following. There are vital nutrients found only in animal products that we must ingest for optimal health. Furthermore, there is no one diet that will work for every person. When it comes to good nutrition, it's best to stick with the tried and true, rather than the untested and new. Humanity has been consuming animal products and saturated fats for thousands of years as part of its diet. Today's health-conscious person needs to follow humanity's historical example and make ample room for all of the gifts of life provided to us by our animal friends.
