Actually I should bow out of the suppliment discussion as gracefully as possible. I don't know much about nutrition.
But that is a seperate issue from the moral consideration that we may or may not be obliged to show to animals.
Even if we need to eat meat
1) We do not need to eat as much as we do
2) We do not need to keep animals in such appalling conditions as we do
3) We do not need to run as many experiments on them as we doAnd I am not convinced at all that we need to eat meat or animal products in order to stay healthy.
But it was instructive to think about individual variation.
I can't answer for everyone.
That is a good point, Larry.All I know is that I shall try my best.
I believe we owe them at least that much.
