Guest guest Posted January 23, 2003 Report Share Posted January 23, 2003 Hey All, Here is the correspondance between Miavita and myself concerning a badly written article they published. Of course you have to read it from the bottom up. Their reply was pitiful at best. If you want to show you displeasure as well contact info. -V Miavita Customer Care <customercare wrote: "Miavita Customer CareVeronica" Re: 030123 articleThu, 23 Jan 2003 12:27:56 -0500 Hi Veronica, Thanks for your message. You make a good point about vegetarians. For the purpose of this article we did not include fish in the meat category, but certainly understand how this may be confusing and should probably be revised. Thanks for the feedback!

(I love my life!) - Veronica info ; vegansuncensored Thursday, January 23, 2003 7:12 AM 030123 article To whom it may concern, I regret to inform you that you are propagating some false information in the below article. You discuss how to get enough protein whilst eating a meatless diet, yet you include shrimp in your recommendations. Shrimp are meat. If you try to feed a vegetarian shrimp he/she will dully inform you that shrimp are meat. Please do not include seafood of any kind in your reccomendations for a meatless diet, this further blurs the line between vegetarianism and omnivorism. Not only are shrimp extremely high in contaminants and cholesterol as are other fish (please reference this article from the Physicians Committed to Responsible Medicine http://www.pcrm.org/health/Commentary/commentary9807.html) , the methods used to farm them as well as other fish are destructive to the environment (please reference this website from PETA http://www.fishinghurts.com/). Thank you for your consideration of this information. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or require any more information. Sincerely, Veronica Melissa Erskine How To Get Enough Protein Without Eating Meat All Miavita Features Adults need about 0.4 grams of protein a day for each pound of body weight. For example, a 120-pound woman needs about 48 grams of protein, which she could get with 2 cups soy milk (16 g), 2 slices whole wheat bread (6 g), 1/2 cup hummus (6 g), 3 ounces of cooked shrimp (18 g) and 1/4 cup of green peas (2 g). Most foods, particularly grains, contain small amounts of protein that add up, so it's really not too difficult to meet daily protein needs eating a varied, meatless diet. Mail Plus - Powerful.
