Guest guest Posted August 22, 2004 Report Share Posted August 22, 2004 Dawne, In my opinion the need for red meat outweighs the toxins in the red meat. Yes, organic is definitely better. Grass fed definitely much better than grain fed. Other red meats include emu, osterich, buffalo, venison, and in the middle east lamb would also be considered a red meat. Pork is not considered a red meat. Scandinavians also need to include fish in their diets, as well. As far as the vegetarians of India go, that is a lifestyle that has been theirs for many generations. From what I understand it takes 11-12 generations for the body to adjust to a diet change, meaning, if 11 to 12 generations are vegetarians, then over the course of that time the body evolves to deal with the food supply it is given and eventually learns to fully utilize the diet. Also, even though Indians are vegetarians, they do not thoroughly clean their foods, and it has been shown that when Indians move from their native land and begin eating a vegetarian diet in countries where the food is cleaned and and more completely cleared of insects, that they begin to have more health issues.
