The problem with your suggestion is "most" meat eaters, or those who think that a balanced diet is equal, do not eat meat or other bad foods in moderation. Ive been to many BBQs or Dinners and eagerly watched my carnivore friends as they seared their fave pieces of meat over the coals. They suggest that to eat meat moderately your serving of meat should be no more than the size of one of your palms. Ive seen TBones, Burgers, Pork tenderloin pieces that would make a horse gag, yet these people consume them and go back for seconds, not to mention the fully loaded potatoes, salads covered in thousand island dressing etc. Hang out at a McDs or Wendys for awhile....watch what people eat, ther is no moderation in a giant burger, large fries and a large sugar filled pop.
Yet if I over eat veggies does it do me any harm?
This world would be far less diet crazed if everyone ate in "moderation" as you suggest....or better, vegetarian.
Oh one more thing...just because "I think" the world would be better off as a Veggie..doesnt mean Im advocating it or pushing it on my meat eater friends. I could care less what you eat, yet whenever I go out somewhere the carnivores are always trying to get me to eat meat of some kind.
Overall I feel FAR healthier and have far more energy than at anytime I was a meat eater.
