Guest guest Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 This is a classic case of throwing the baby out with the bath water. The grain based diet, which is the cornerstone of the vegetarian approach, has just as many carcinogens in it and is just as toxic as the rest of the food supply. And the gluten encasing the grain opens up a can of health worms far more serious. Humans have never been vegetarian in the last million plus years, making it one of the most unnatural diets out there. http://www.beyondveg.com It's a highly simplistic, totally incorrect response to an environmental problem. , Jagannath Chatterjee <jagchat01 wrote: > > > The Star Ledger.
