Think about the corporate interests when it comes to selling meat and diary products. There are huge profits centers to selling dairy and even meat. However, do you think there is a lot of profit in selling an apple or a carrot stick? You can can't really add any "value" to these products. Fruits and vegetables are what they are. So they want to sell you cereal with loads of sugar and unnatural crap, because it is profitable for them. |
I was near vegan for a long time, but now I eat whole, home grown foods, including meat, as naturally grown or raised as possible (but I don't obsess about the naturally grown part). I more or less follow the diet recommended by the research of Dr. Weston Price. On the Weston Price website, there is a review of the book The China Study.
Thumbs Down Book Review: The China Study: Startling Implications for Diet, Weight Loss, and Long-Term Health
I certainly have not done the research necessary to confirm or negate the conclusions of The China Study or of the review, but this review shows me that the conclusions made in the book may not be as cut and dried as they would appear.
