Vegetarianism and veganism

. ......

Great choice, Brian! And thank you for starting this thread and sharing the vids. Have been meaning to offer a response on the Christian vids for a while now, so, briefly:

There were a bunch of interesting points in there, some of which I hadn't already been aware, e.g., that James, the brother of Christ, was brought up as a vegetarian/vegan, so that it is likely that Jesus was too, and that many (most? all?) members of the early Church, too, were vegetarian/vegan, especially as evidenced by Augustine's opposition to vegetarian/vegan Christianity.

There were also some claims/arguments that seemed to me to be a bit more questionable, but hey, the intent is good.

Re protein combining - yes, that's my understanding too; that it's a myth and is not required.

Re blood tests - likewise, I've never had any problematic results since going vegan, other than a slight deficiency in vitamin D, which is easily explained by my living in a wet, rainy climate and spending most of my time indoors, and which was easily corrected with supplements.

Let us know how you go with your new diet!
