Guest guest Posted February 26, 2001 Report Share Posted February 26, 2001 I found it interesting that a couple of you mentioned meat-eaters being sickly...I just got a long lecture from a neighbor who claims they eat nothing but meat and animal fat and a few whole milk products, small amounts of vegetables, no grain products... and never get sick. (I guess he isn't counting the stroke and hip fracture his wife had a couple of years ago). He thinks I'm too sickly (I've got two young kids who bring a good number of colds home from school) and should give up my vegetarian ways!!! Since at the time he was helping me pump water out of my flooded basement and I was dazed and exhausted, I did not even try to argue with him. I also didn't encourage him by asking any questions, but does this sound like one of those trendy high-protein diets? He mentioned a book called *Sugar Busters*. He seems to believe plant foods of all kinds are too high in sugars, which tax the immune system and cause diabetes. He also had some idea about cholesterol levels being meaningless, etc... Has anyone encountered this species of carnivore??? Susan ______________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO! Juno offers FREE or PREMIUM Internet access for less! Join Juno today!
