Ummmm. NO. It is not. SO wrong. Yes we are omnivores but as long as you get all the protein you need...it doesn't matter where you get it from. IDEAL FOR HEALTH = exercise. Yes I put that at a video game site. Sorry, I work in the medical field and won't stand for misinformation on health. |
only in the last 50 years has it been possible to survive as a strict vegetarian. The reason people can now is that we can harvest vitamin b12 from animal/bacterial sources (also possible to synthesis in lab) and add it to cereals/bread/pasta/proccesed vegtable products/etc. Deficiency causes nerve degeneration and irreversible neurological damage, DNA replication problems, anaemia (excessive tiredness, breathlessness, listlessness, pallor, and poor resistance to infection), and blindness due to degeneration of optic nerve.
*side notes:
It is possible to build up stores of this vitamin that last for years.
There are other dietary issues that are also "solved" by supplement enriched foods.
