Actually I tried to go vegetarian (hear hear!) but I just found I could not exclude things from my diet categorically.That is where dicipline, or lack thereof, come into play. Dicipline is a difficult thing. That would be why there are few masters in the world.
Quote:I got a chuckle out of that last comment, since I've been a vegetarian for 27 years, and am not thin, much less emaciated! Nor do I know any vegetarians who are emaciated! Most look vibrantly healthy! Although there are always exceptions of course.My wife has been vegetarian for over 30 years. Just in the last 4 years she went raw vegan. Because she is a white skinned redhead she always burned within minutes in bright sun. What we find is that she no longer burns after the diet upgrade. After some searching online we found that a LOT of those that went raw have noticed the same phenomenon. My family no longer burn, even at high noon hikes.

One other thing for thought, those with inner demons will tend to defend them. That has a lot to do with defending a personal diet that is enjoyable, but unhealthy. People will fight to defend their addictions, habits, obsssessions. I had to study this in order to overcome my own.
