You need to look at the thread title.

A healthy diet is one that is balanced, and that includes the consumption of meat.
|
A healthy diet can include meat, but it need not so. What part of the American Dietition Association's position paper on vegetarianism do you take issue with and call them flat out wrong on?

Blame the gluttons, not the meat.

Kinda like blame the junkie, not the crack, huh.

Do you honestly think omnis eat meat all the time, day in, day out???

No. Why do you suggest that I think so with your question?

Stop treating all the meat eaters like a bunch of extremist idiots.

The majority of obese people are meat eaters. The thing most extreme about them is probably their wasteline, and if that is any indicator as to what they can comprehend as a healthy diet, well then, you can decide for yourself about their intelligence.

Oh my god. Unlike you, I enjoy eating from a variety of food groups.

Only the meat is missing in mine. There are a vast variety of foods in a vegetarian diet.

If that's unhealthy, then I am, a vast majority of the world, and nutritionsts are, ignorant fools.

The ADA, the largest association of professional nutritionists in the world, in their position paper clearly states that not only is a vegetarian diet a healthy diet, but also offers benefits to health that one with meat does not.
I've posted the link to the paper in several places throughout Volconvo. Let me know if you have not found it already.

I guess the eskimos are pretty stupid for managing to survive off a diet almost purely comprised of fish.

lol. No, they are just choosing to keep freezing their butts off by choosing to stay in the far north. I think it is the smarter choice to live in a more temperate zone, and indeed, the civilizations that have come to power and brought much of the modern amenities and progress to the world, have not been Eskimos -- or haven`t you noticed?
Maybe that would be different had they gotten more vegetables and fruits into their diets.
