...the following doesn't happen to me. I mean how do I know if I'm being a "strict" a vegetarian and causing myself dreadful physical harm. What is the ideal percentage of "white meats" ... seafood, fish, poultry I should be including in my diet to stay healthy.
The vegetarians of Southern India eat a low-calorie diet very high in carbohydrates and low in protein and fat. They have the shortest life span of any society on Earth, and their bodies have an extremely low muscle mass. They are weak and frail and the children clearly exhibit a failure to thrive. Their heart disease rate is double that of the meat eaters in Northern India. HL Abrams. Vegetarianism: An anthropological/nutritional evaluation. Journal of Applied Nutrition, 32:2:53-87.
