I eat at least 1 serving (sometimes 2) of plants each day, but I also eat at least 3 servings of animal products - meat, fish, or eggs. When the plant-based diet people talk about their diet, they tend to use the phrase "balanced diet" a lot - but then they leave out everything that relates to meat.

We had some long-time vegetarian friends who kept a cow for fresh milk & homemade cheese - the mom said that some sort of animal protein was necessary for good health. And man, were they ever healthy!

I'm glad they've come up with low carb, plant-based liquids that mimic milk for those of us who don't do well with dairy, but I don't want to give up my meat.
