Federal report: Vegan diet best for planet

[longship]

38. I find myself eating less meat as I age.

Approaching 70 soon. But I eat less all around these days. Smaller meals, and yes less meat.

But vegans eschew dairy and eggs. That just is not healthy, IMHO. Eggs are a wonderful protein source. Dairy also. Also delicious. No ice cream? That's not civilized!

Vegans are welcome to eat what they want. Just don't tell me what I can or cannot eat.

I prefer to eat food more than any other substance. My diet includes all the food groups. But yes, at my age my meals tend to be smaller and with less meat. But I eat meat daily. It is a good protein source. As are eggs and dairy.

The belief system is that some foods are somehow bad for you when for millions of years all our ancestors have been omnivores.

My advice. Eat a diverse diet. Everything in moderation. That's how one stays healthy. There is no secret formula other than that. That's my belief.

My best to you.
