Uh, how do you explain that the large and relatively primitive
populuations have been and are largely vegetarian? I don't
understand why people feel the need to take occassional pokes at
folks who don't eat meat. You can live just fine off of nothing
but a good vegetable garden and a bit of flax-seed oil now and
then for B-12. Not exactly hard to do out in the woods.
