There are obviously two sides to the "balanced diet" issue. And by the way, I think you can have nutritional balance and emotional balance, and not everyone has both.

Two sides:
1. Those who are adamant that natural plant foods provide everything we need nutritionally and will ensure we enjoy a superior lifestyle for a long, long time.
2. Those of us who feel that ... everything in moderation ..... is the way to roll. And that attitude and laughter and friends and a passion for life are just as important as a vegetarian diet. And that enjoying a glass of wine or yoghurt with friends or an occasional steak will enhance their experience of life.

Nuff said. Never the twain shall meet. To each his own. There are two sides to every story. Let sleeping dogs lie. Just sayin.
