And most of us, however, know the issues involved for nutritional deficiencies that vegans (no dairy) face, requiring some supplemental vitamins -- I think it's Vitamin K-2.
In any case, I thought it was an interesting article if provocative that made a lot of sense.

Most recent episode of Jay Leno's Garage, someone is producing a tractor that runs on the methane from livestock. It is IN PRODUCTION.
Margret Meed the celebrity anthropologist wrote about hunter gathering cultures as in many Indian Tribes. Unlike us, what we think is normal they would work ONE DAY A WEEK. Rabbits-they are all around here as are squirrels. Flour? You can make flour from acorns. Water chestnuts are the roots of the cattails that grow around here.
We seem to live in a puritanical society. If, you enjoy it, it is evil.
