Tony Bishop Weston from Foods for Life London Nutritionists and Sri Diamond from Lifescape magazine took part in a phone in on vegetarianism on LBC today.
Following LBC's James O'Brien committed meat eater being succesfully converted to vegetarian ways vegetarianism is now infectiously starting to spread at LBC.
Jim Davis interviewed his cousin on LBC today to find out why she's been vegetarian for 25 years. Listeners called in to ask questions of Tony from London Nutritionists Foods for Life and Sri from Lifescape magazine.
A few people called and said they'd had to go back to eating meat for health reasons and Tony and Sri explained that all key nutrients were available from a vegetarian or even vegan diet but that you must replace the meat in your diet with suitable sources of plant based protein and that even preconverted omega 3 essential fats vegetarian DHA and EPA were now available in a vegetarian form.
A gentleman called to say his Indian father had been a vegetarian all his life avoiding nearly all animal products and lived very healthily to the age of 93.

I like vegetables, but nothing is better than going out into the woods in the morning and smoking a fresh deer roast in the afternoon.

I guess it could be worse ... you could be gunning down small children or stabbing people in the mall.
Perhaps you Could try hunting with Dick Cheney?

Keep up the good work!
Hi, Tony. I too tried veggie then vegan, but I didn't know enough about combining. I'll be checking out your info.
Nice blog, Tony. I think a lot of people would stop eating meat if they saw the process involved in raising and slaughtering the animal before it was neatly packaged on the supermarket shelf.
My neighbor, who is sort of a macho guy, visited a slaughterhouse once and never ate meat again after witnessing the process.
My roommate is a walking vegetable but all he eats is meat. Maybe it's a combination of all the meat and alcohol that fried his brain.

It is common for Indian vegetarians to consume milk and milk products, and they often also give their children the occasional egg. Many vegetarians modify the diet somewhat for children, as their diet needs are unique from adults.
Great Blog Tony ! Yes, most Indians are vegetarian. In fact, there are so many
Indian recipes with vegetables and legumes that can make going vegetarian very easy....cause you don't miss out on "taste". Meats have a very strong taste and most people going vegetarian try to do that unsuccessfully by eating vegetables that are bland and have no taste or eat a lot of salad greens.
I love meat myself but a real good - Aloo
Methi Bhaaji (Potato & Fenugreek Vegetable) with Chappati
(Indian flat bread) is no match even for an awesome steak dinner.
