Is being vegan as unhealthy as eating lots of meat?
If i had to venture a guess i think i would have said occasional fish eaters first, vegetarians second followed by occasional meat and vegans at about the same in third with heavy meat eaters a distant last. there are so many factors in these things though, very hard to isolate variables for a study. In addition, what i would consider to be modern vegetarianism and veganism really hasnt existed for very long, the type of more enlightened understanding of things like amino acid combinations that are a recent addition to the vegetarian life style are bound to further the separation going forward. Personally, while it is somewhat affirming to think that my no-dairy occasional fish but mainly vegetarian diet would be about the best you could do, that sort of thinking is a good way to get hit by a car.
