thank you for the link. am forwarding it to my son. i raised him on same diet you raised your daughter ..i was also raised this way. i'm a nurse & found the study of nutrition fascinating. i was raised an impoverished farm child & beans, soup bones & vegies were staples. my son is now trying to raise his daughters the way he was, but it's not easy as one half of parenting pair in divorce ..but he's trying.
yes ..there are studies showing vegetarians can live longer ..and there are studies that disprove the claim. all things in moderation is the key..especially meats, refined sugar, saturated fats etc. and another important component to healthy body ...physically demanding exercise.
