You are missing the point on what I said - the China study was about plant-based diets. China study was widely critisized, and the author's own data does not support his conclusions. There was a link already in this discussion, here's one more http://rawfoodsos.com/the-china-study/ http://rawfoodsos.com/the-china-study/ And all of the Blue Zone diets do not include meat - I can think of the Seventh Day Adventists that were studied just as one example. As I remember, only some of them are vegetarians, it is not a requirement. My point was that it is very possible to be strong and super-fit. There are actually quite a number of vegan bodybuilders and athletes. I suppose it's technically possible, just so much harder. Otherwise those elusive vegan bodybuilders would be a majority. Just to make my point clear: I'm not saying vegetarianism is bad or unhealthy. I'm just against demonizing animal based foods for no reason.
