I have a friend,  naturopath close to 50 , who is vegetarian and have been
for a long time . He is full of energy,  practice power yoga ( a very
physical yoga) run very often to his office . he is on the go all day
ong.( i don't know anybody as driven than him )
i am waiting for him to crash one day but yet he is very healthy.
In his naturopathic practice he often advice vegetarian to eat meats, he say
himself that it is not for everybody to be a  long term vegetarian , but
himself manage very well in it.
