Position of the American Dietetic Association: Vegetarian Diets (1997)
Scientific data suggest positive relationships between a vegetarian diet and reduced risk for several chronic degenerative diseases and conditions, including obesity, coronary artery disease, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and some types of cancer. Vegetarian diets, like all diets, need to be planned appropriately to be nutritionally adequate.
POSITION STATEMENT
It is the position of The American Dietetic Association (ADA) that appropriately planned vegetarian diets are healthful, are nutritionally adequate, and provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases.
Vegetarianism in Perspective Studies indicate that vegetarians often have lower morbidity (1) and mortality (2) rates from several chronic degenerative diseases than do nonvegetarians. Although nondietary factors, including physical activity and abstinence from smoking and alcohol, may play a role, diet is clearly a contributing factor. In addition to the health advantages, other considerations that may lead a person to adopt a vegetarian diet pattern include concern for the environment, ecology, and world hunger issues. Vegetarians also cite economic reasons, ethical considerations, and religious beliefs as their reasons for following this type of diet pattern. Consumer demand for vegetarian options has resulted in increasing numbers of foodservices that offer vegetarian options. Presently, most university foodservices offer vegetarian options.

23. Beyond Vegetarianism
Taking vegetarianism to its logical conclusion, from a transhumanist point of view
http://www.aleph.se/Trans/Cultural/Philosophy/vegetarian.html
Beyond vegetarianism
by Anders Sandberg A vegetarian approached me one day while I was eating, asking me (no doubt with the intention to sow guilt and preach a bit) "How can you eat *carrion*?". Unfortunately for him, I responded by happily explaining that it is quite natural for humans to eat carrion; after all, our evolutionary past suggests that we were opportunistic omnivores, eating meat whenever we could get it. Our teeth seem to be well adapted to chewing meat made tender by a slight rot, something we later replaced with cooking. In fact, being purely vegetarian is unnatural. There are to my knowledge no indigenous people living only of vegetables (something that is very hard to do without advanced nutrition and availability of a wide variety of vegetables around the year). Being adaptive we can become vegetarian (or purely carnivorous) if we choose today, but it is an individual choice made based on our own values and not on any biological support. Vegetarianism can be seen as a kind of self-expression, a decision to overcome our biological heritage as omnivores for a herbivorous diet more in accordance to our ethics or aesthetic. This transhumanist way of seeing vegetarianism is of course not very accepted by most vegetarians, of which an eloquent subset regard un- or non- natural things as bad. To get rid of the cognitive dissonance they attempt to show that humans really are herbivores, and that the meat-eating establishment is wrong. It is too bad they lack the courage to see vegetarianism as what it is: a deliberate change in our biology, based on culture not nature.

vegetarianism A Means to a Higher End . The word vegetarian, coined by thefounders of the British Vegetarian Society in 1842, comes from the Latin word

V E G E T A R I A N I S M
The Higher Taste
Article 1 Article 2 Article 3 Article 4 The word vegetarian, coined by the founders of the British Vegetarian Society in 1842, comes from the Latin word vegetus, meaning "whole, sound, fresh, or lively," as in homo vegetus-a mentally and physically vigorous person. The original meaning of the word implies a balanced philosophical and moral sense of life, a lot more than just a diet of vegetables and fruits. more Once I sighted a bicycle rider speeding along a crowded New Dehli road precariously balancing fifty or so heavy stack lunch containers hanging from different aparatus attached to his bike. "It is tiffin time!" cried my Indian friend Amit, noticing my concern. "This man will deliver a hundred homemade lunches to the office today. All over the city." more India is the home not only of vegetarian cooking, but also of the science of healthful living. The scripture known as the Ayur-veda, is the oldest known work on biology, hygiene, medicine, and nutrition. This branch of the Vedas was revealed thousands of years ago by Sri Bhagavan Danvantari, an incarnation of Krishna. "Old", is not the same as "primitive", however, and some of the instructions of the Ayur-veda will remind today's reader of modern nutritional teachings or just plain common sense. Other instructions may seem less familiar, but they will bear themselves out if given the chance.

Vegetarianism Good Eating: Questions and Answers About Being Vegetarian Contents What is Vegetarianism? How popular is Vegetarianism? Why do people give up meat and become vegetarians? But isn't meat-eating necessary for good health? ... Poems What is Vegetarianism? Vegetarianism is the practice of not eating meat. People whose diet does not include eating animals for food are known as vegetarians. In addition to not eating "red meat" (beef, pork, lamb), vegetarians also don’t eat seafood or poultry. Some vegetarians avoid animal by-products. Both kinds, however, do not eat animals. Back to top How popular is Vegetarianism? The vegetarian diet has become much more popular in recent years. It is now estimated that over one million Americans are reported to limit his/her consumption of meat for health reasons. Back to top Why do people give up meat and become vegetarians? A vegetarian diet may be chosen for a variety of reasons. Some people choose vegetarianism because they belief a meat-centered diet is expensive, wasteful, or unhealthy. Others adopt it for reasons of conscience: they consider it wrong and unnecessary to kill animals for food, or to cause them the needless suffering of being raised for slaughter.

Why is it that many Jewish religious leaders advocate vegetarianism, including the late Chief Rabbi of Israel Shlomo Goren and the first Chief Rabbi of pre-state Israel Abraham Kook? Why is it that the former Chief Rabbi of Ireland David Rosen considers "the consumption of meat as halachically unacceptable"? The Torah is full of commandments demanding humane treatment of animals, yet the modern factory farms that produce over 90% of the animal products we consume today raise their animals in unconscionable conditions of abject misery. The Torah reflects great concern for the land, yet as the primary cause of water pollution, water use, topsoil erosion, destruction of the world's rainforest, and other environmental harms, animal agriculture takes a devastating toll on the planet. Jewish teachings emphasize the grave importance of protecting human health, yet the consumption of animal products in the United States is responsible for numerous diseases including heart disease, America's number one killer. Judaism places great concern on providing for the poor and the hungry, yet while 800 million people do not have enough food to sustain themselves, our carnivorous diets are at least ten times as wasteful of food resources as a vegetarian one.

Humorous, mildly suggestive site which does have recipes and factual information about vegetarianism.
http://www.lettuceladies.com/recip.html
  • Avoid all animal products. Fish, poultry, and other so-called "lean" meats are sky-high in fat compared to vegan foods.
  • Eat low-fat, high-carbohydrate foods from plant sources. Veggie casseroles, pasta with tomato sauce, and vegetable curries are hearty main courses your whole family will love.
  • Between meals , snack on fruit, bagels, air-popped popcorn, cereal with soy milk, or frozen fruit bars.
  • Keep high-fat vegan foods (vegetable oils, margarine, and fried foods) to a minimum.
  • Stop counting calories: Quantity is not as important as quality.
  • Check out tasty meat substitutes like tofu, tempeh, and wheat gluten.
  • Eat breakfast! Soy bacon, cantaloupe, cream of wheat, oatmeal with cinnamon, fruit, or baked beans on toast will give you energy and reduce your hunger during the morning.
  • Craving pizza? Go ahead and order it piled high with spinach, broccoli, onions, mushrooms, artichokes, peppers, and garlic, but skip the cheese.
  • Scramble tofu instead of eggs.
  • When eating out, ask for what you want, the way you want it
  • Get active!

It's Healthier
It's Humane It's Economical It's Environmentally Friendly ... Some Famous Vegetarians Think about it. The human population of the earth will increase by 90,000,000 in the coming year. The stress this will place on food resources is enormous. Do you feel powerless? Don't. There's something you can do that will ease the burden on the earth's resources, help to feed millions of people, dramatically improve your health and save literally millions of animals from pain, terror and death. It's simple GO VEGETARIAN! It's Healthier Vegetarians are healthier than people who eat meat. It's a fact. Scientific studies show that vegetarians suffer much less from illnesses like cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure and other common health problems. A major study reported in the British Medical Journal in 1994 found that, of 5000 meat-eaters and 6000 non-meat eaters, vegetarians had 40% less risk of cancer and 30% less risk of heart disease than the meat-eaters and were 20% less likely to die of any cause (Oxford Vegetarian Study). A US study of 50,000 vegetarians showed a very low rate of cancer (Seventh Day Adventist Study, Massachussets). It has been estimated that by following a low-fat vegetarian diet, the risk of food poisoning is decreased by 80%. More evidence of the benefits of a vegetarian diet is being found each year.

Is it possible to get enough protein on a vegetarian diet? 4. How much protein do I need, anyway? ... 20. Where can I get more information? 1. What are the different types of vegetarians? There are several different variations of the vegetarian diet. Strict vegetarians, called vegans , eat no animal products at all. The staples of their diets are fruits, vegetables, legumes (beans and peas), grains, seeds, and nuts. Lacto-vegetarians eat dairy products in addition to plant foods. Lacto-ovo vegetarians include dairy products and eggs as well as plant foods in their diets. People who eat animal flesh (meat, fish, chicken) are not considered to be vegetarians. However, as the health benefits of a vegetarian diet become more widely known, many people reduce or eliminate animal products. For example, they may eat fish and chicken but no red meat, or they may eat meat in small portions only a few times a week. These people can most accurately be described as following a semi-vegetarian diet.

39. Vegetarianism
Contains reasons for staying vegetarian from spiritual, karmic and health perspective.
http://www.karamsad.com/vegetarianism.htm
Why Vegetarianism? Vegetarianism, known in Sanskrit as Shakahara, was for thousands of years a principle of health and environmental ethics throughout India. Though Muslim and Christian colonization radically undermined and eroded this ideal, it remains to this day a cardinal ethic of Hindu thought and practices. A subtle sense of guilt persists among Hindus who eat meat. Hinduism is the only religion which preaches vegetarianism, as a way to live with a minimum of hurt to other beings, for to consume meat, fish, fowl or eggs is to participate indirectly in acts of cruelty and violence against the animal kingdom. The meat-eater's desire for meat drives another to kill and provide that meat. The act of the butcher begins with the desire of the consumer. Meat eating contributes to a mentality of violence. India's greatest saints have confirmed that one cannot eat meat and live a peaceful, harmonious life. Man's appetite for meat inflicts devastating harm on the earth itself, stripping its precious forests to make way for pastures. How can one who eats meat practice true compassion by eating the flesh of an animal to fatten his own flesh?
A vegetarian diet does not include meat, fish or eggs. For good health, even certain vegetarian foods are minimized: frozen and canned foods, highly processed foods, such as white rice, white sugar and white flour; and "junk" foods and beverages-those with abundant chemical additives, such as artificial sweeteners, colorings, flavorings and preservatives.

40. The Myths Of Vegetarianism - Dr. Stephen Byrnes
Put the power of alternative medicine, naturopathy, and holistic nutrition towork for you.
http://www.powerhealth.net/selected_articles.htm
THE MYTHS OF VEGETARIANISM Stephen Byrnes, PhD Originally published in the
July 2000. Revised January 2002 “An unflinching determination to take the whole evidence into account is the only method of preservation against the fluctuating extremes of fashionable opinion.” Alfred North Whitehead Bill and Tanya sat before me in my office in a somber mood: they had just lost their first baby in the second month of pregnancy. Tanya was particularly upset. "Why did this happen to me? Why did I miscarry my baby?" The young couple had come to see me mostly because of Tanya's recurrent respiratory infections, but also wanted some advice as to how they could avoid the heartache of another failed pregnancy. Upon questioning Tanya about her diet, I quickly saw the cause of her infections, as well as her miscarriage: she had virtually no fat in her diet and was also mostly a vegetarian. Because of the plentiful media rhetoric about the supposed dangers of animal product consumption, as opposed to the alleged health benefits of the vegetarian lifestyle, Tanya had deliberately removed such things as cream, butter, meats and fish from her diet. Although she liked liver, she avoided it due to worries over "toxins."
