369. And of course my back country denizens do not plant gardens

either.

I love those assumptions, I really do.

(For the record, they do)

And you just stated WHY we need some animal products... there, you yourself said it.

But hey, whatever, the China Study (and other traditional diets) have animal products, like meat and eggs, as something you put almost as a GARNISH on your food... there are good, and I might add, very valid reasons for doing that. Americans should reduce their consumption, (which is way above any recommended standard anywhere, including the American Heart Association), but not eliminiate it.

You know you sound like somewhat convinced that you, and you alone have the truth here. You don't, nether do I. These are still moving targets.

As to a dad taking his daughter hunting, you do know that this is also part of the herd management strategy. Good luck in trying to reintroduce wolves and bears oh my... which is the OTHER very real choice.
