I have always been interested in vegetarianism. Are you a vegetarian.
I am not, but it does have it's roos in ancient India and Greece, so it's been around awhile.
That's interesting. I wonder if it started for religious reasons or was just a cultural trend?
I think both in Greece and India it was connected to the idea of non-violence towards animals and then was promoted by religious groups and philosphers.
Awesome. I thinks a lot of vegetarians must be against violence to animals when they make that kind of choice.
There are other motivations for it also, such as health-related, political, economic, and just personal preference.
2 of my family members have Alph-gal. It's an allergy to mammal meat caused by a tick bite. So I can definitely understand doing it for health reasons.
I've never heard of that - I guess there are so many variations of the diet also that it works for many people, such as eggs or no eggs, or no dairy, or even only fish.
Yes, I would be worried about getting the right amount of nutrients. I'm sure they really have to monitor what types of food they are eating.
And if they allow very young children to eat that way - if they miss vital nutrients before two years of age, it can result in permanent problems.
