To the extent we push meat a little bit to the side and move vegetables to the center of our diet, we're also going to be a lot healthier.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We eat a lot of lean meat and fresh vegetables.
Vegetables are interesting but lack a sense of purpose when unaccompanied by a good cut of meat.
Primarily I'm a meat man, although once in a while I toy with a few vegetables.
I eat meat, but no meat that isn't pastured is acceptable, and we probably need to eat a whole lot less.
For me, food is all about balance. If you eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, and an appropriate amount of poultry, fish, and red meat that are sourced from good places, you're doing well. It's important to make sure that the meat you're consuming is hormone-free.
I think that if a person wants to remain vegetarian, they're just going to have to go hungry.
Consumers are going to have get used to eating less meat - to paying more for better quality meat and eating significantly less of it.
We need to take vegetables out of the role of side dish, even in low-fat, vegetarian diets, whose calories are generally derived mainly from grains and other starches.
We need radical dietary improvement, and the earlier in life that change is made, the better. Just following a vegan diet or eating a few more vegetables is not enough.
As people move further away from a meat-based diet, I think the focus will shift to using grains as the central focus of our food supply.
