I’m a lacto ovo vegetarian myself and I can tell you being a vegetarian is not the magic bullet that will enable a healthy lifestyle.

Whoops, I screwed up the link in my prior post.

I am a vegan and have been so for six years now. I also eat about 95% organic.

Thanks for posting this Lazy Man, especially considering you’re not vegetarian.

I used to think I would never be able to even go vegetarian, but I was wrong. I was the guy who ate fast food three times a week and loved meat. I realized the environmental, health, and ethical implications and decided to go vegetarian, then vegan. Vegetarianism wasn’t difficult. In fact, I was surprised at how easy it was.

I really enjoy reading your blog!

I applaud them. Especially the vegans. They really have to do their homework as so many foods contain animal products. I have a passion both for health and for animals, but I’ve never had enough willpower to go this far.

I’m not a vegetarian myself, but I do admire all the health benefits of a vegetarian diet.

I’m always surprised, though, since there are a lot of nutrients in lean meats and lots of unhealthy vegetarian choices available too. You’d think it would be more of a trade-off situation rather than a clear health advantage for vegetarians.

Just shows that the subject of nutrition is really complicated.
