[QUOTE=funchy;283014]That is a big claim to make. Can you explain or cite sources?
Can you define "biodynamically"? I am not sure what you mean exactly. Thanks.
The problem is that the people we can easily measure are those who are living in developed countries. In America, we consider ourselves very 'developed' but we also have some of the most processed, dead, stale, tainted, and engineered food in the world. You're asking for the impossible.
By promoting a high meat diet, you're also making it harder for such a study to be done. Where would we find hundreds of thousands of people in one location if they're all following your diet advice?
The philosophy of Hinduism emphasizes living without causing cruelty to others, so many Hindu followers choose not to eat meat.
Also consider many of the major religions also had a form of murder, war, infanticide, lowering women to the level of property, acknowledgment of slavery, in some cases child or spousal abuse, and other things that most of us don't feel are such good things.
If you're Christian, you could interpret the bible to say we should not eat meat. Before we were thrown out of the Garden of Eden, we did not and everyone lived in harmony. Eating of meat is one of those things we were cursed with when we fell from grace.

Why does it make sense? What "laws of Mother Nature" are you talking about?
We all have our beliefs.
If you believe in Chi, you should be against eating meat. If you believe this theory, you understand that the energy contained in the animal is transferred to you when you eat it. The last hours or days of the animals' life was on a crowded livestock truck, then chased up a chute, then whacked over the head with a captive-bolt gun. All that stress and terror is the last thing the animal knew, and the body physiology reflects this.
But are not lions. It's more like as normal as giving ground-up sheep meal to cattle to give them cheap protein. Oh, wait, cattle are better off without meat. (Side note: we created mad-cow disease by actually doing this to cattle)
We can argue that it must be natural or else we wouldn't crave meat, right? But many of us crave soda -- what's the difference? Once people try it, many of them crave heroin which is simply a natural drug made from poppies.
The latest news is that there are compounds in dairy and meat that are proven to be addictive to humans.
