Someone asked why a vegetarian diet was not a good way of eating. The books listed in my previous post explain that unless you include the carbohydrate foods, your proteins are incomplete with a strictly vegetarian diet. Vegetarianism usually leads to protein malnourishment. If they are including the carbohydrate foods, such as pasta, potatoes, rice, etc., they often still suffer from high blood pressure, high cholesterol, they can still get fat, and any other of the problems associated with a high carb/low fat way of eating. The Neanderthin book speaks the strongest against vegetarianism. Someone has borrowed my book so I can't look up what it had to say right now. Someone said that Atkins was taken off the market as being dangerous. I am really not up on that, because I have not read the Atkins book. But I kind of have the idea that he was originally in the high protein type of diet, which was dangerous. I believe he now advocates the adequate protein / low carb way of eating. And I think that is why most people who speak against these diets in the media continue to refer to them as a high protein diet, which is not correct. What do they feed cattle to fatten them up? Corn, rice, all those grains, which are carbohydrates. It is not their natural diet. If it fattens the cattle up, what do you think it does to you? Meat is said to be the only food that can sustain life on its own.
