I dont think cutting meat entirely out of your diet is a good idea. Keep eating fish at the very least.

i'm sorry to be blunt but this is simply nonsense. see, e.g., the long-running framingham heart study.

I really dont care to start another vegetarian diet pissing contest on this forum. The primary benefit of a vegetarian diet is that it tends to force people to eat healthier in general, in particular eliminating a lot of processed foods from the diet. PErsonally I try to stick to whole foods myself and in spite of a history of heart problems in my family history I have very good cholesterol levels and eat a substantial amount of animal products. I simply think it is a mistake to ignore the the evolution of our species which consisted of an omnivorous diet. Ill leave it at that, flame away.
