As for the vegetarianism: do you have any evidence to support your claim that Japanese people live longer than other westerners because of their diet? I saw you mention that them being mostly veg's makes them live longer than the rest of us, and maybe I missed your link, but I would argue there are many other factors about why they live longer on average. If this is actually something proven, I'm packing my bags and not eating any more meat.
Also, congrats to anyone who is a vegetarian. I don't think I'd be able to do it, but if it did mean I'd live longer I'd be all for it. My problem is not over meat-eating, but rather over junk eating and not exercising enough.

Tired of the drive bys...so I speak up now.
Yes there is lots of evidence that Japanese live longer...it is based on their "mostly" veg diet...
