[MD] vegetarianism

[Robert Robinson]

Fine Heather if you want to justify meat eating. Go for it!
   
  People living in the Polar Climate...Inuits... is a poor model to use.  We in America live in the middle Latitudes.  As I don't know many Inuits in my town, I suggests the Seventh Day Adventists as a more useful model. Many broad based studies and research for justification and data backup.
   
  But everyone is free to choose their own facts to justify their own habits and lifestyle. To each his own.

  Damian and Robbie,

Damian is probably closer to an accurate portray
of what makes a good diet. Robbie, the Inuit diet was
and might still be 95% or so a meat diet. Not much in
the way of plants that far north. Then there's that
whole Paleo-diet idea. Lots of meat, you know, atkins
is one of them. I do know research on the Inuit diet
of mainly seal and whale showed less heart disease
related illnesses. Fat, I believe it's called mutuk,
from the seal, prevents scurvy. As to the age of
these people, life-spans, they had grandparents just
as Europeans, Asians, and Near-East Civilizations. 
The Grandparents Revolution happened way back in the
Paleolithic, maybe farther back, but this time period
is evidenced and thus, the name. As to the research
done on these diets, this is on-going. These are just
dabs as to how meat diets have been healthy, and then
there's the plant-eaters. They live healthy as well. 
This is what I know on the subject, which is not much,
but maybe this will help.
