I didn't rewrite a damn thing you wrote. I excised stuff that I wasn't going to reply to, but I didn't manipulate what you wrote to change its context or meaning. If you're gonna cop that attitude then I'm not interesting in continuing this conversation. I made my point anyway: as far as anyone can tell, for an average person a properly balanced diet is fine regardless of whether or not it has meat in it. End of discussion. You have a nice day.

When you cut down a quote, I think it's important to indicate that you do so.  I do so by adding [...] wherever I cut down the quote.  I'm not trying to cop an attitude, I'm attempting to communicate that indicating when a quote is cut down is actually really important for other readers who might be jumping into a discussion part way.  You seem to think it's irrelevant, and I think it's very important.

I disputed several of your points, so I don't see it as being made, but you're welcome to discontinue attempting to prove it if that is your choice.  And saying"End of discussion" is silly when medical and nutriotional science is constantly expanding.  My opinion is based on my reading of current medical and nutritional science, and is open to changing as the science changes.
