Out of interest Steve could you give an example of your diet.
My post is purely to bring attention to the fact that many people think eating vegetarian is healthy, no matter what they eat when there are in fact dangers and responsibilities people still need to take into account when planning their diet.
Also the "protein myth" as you call it is severely debunked. If you would care to come to Cambodia with me and see the race of 4.5 foot tall people living in the war ravaged areas - their height due to lack of protein in their diets as children. And yes they had plenty of fruits and Veg - they live in the jungle.
I have personal friends who are this height, yet their children on the same diet with meat added are 5.5 feet tall, or more - in this generation here now it is becoming increasingly common to see Asians over 6 feet in height - previously unheard of in this part of Asia.
Having travelled widely I can speak from experience in this matter.
