I'm not denying that at all, and I eschew vegetarianism or veganism because it's untenable for someone with my metabolic needs and also because flesh is delicious. What I'm saying is that it needs to be had in reasonable proportion with plant-derived food, and that's the part a lot of Americans flub on. Meat is processed best by a body that also gets sufficient fiber.
