I don't think I'd have a very good meal as a lowcarb vegetarian with no legumes, grains, nightshade, dairy.....Legumes are worse for me than grains. I love dairy but I have too many nasty reactions to it. I eat 20-22% protein, 52% fat and the rest is carbs. My calories vary but the high side is 1600 calories. hmmm...... I think there is a big step between killing for food and killing a human being. I'm having a tough time trying to link the two. I would have to sense danger for myself or family to possibly kill a human being. I would hope my aim would halt an intruder as opposed to kill. The killing of a person would bother me greatly, even an 'evil' one. I have no problem with killing an animal to eat...... As for sport, that's an issue that disgusts me. Oliva ----- Original Message ----- From: "Amadeus Schmidt" <[log in to unmask]> As Todd pointed out, it would even be possible to go lowcarb as a vegetarian (I didn't test). I am vegetarian and have a high percentage of calories from fat. I just looked up one of my dayplans and found 11% protein, 36% carb and 53% calories from fat (usually around 40%). I bet even with 90% stone age carbs you wouldn't have had a problem. But how far is the *step* between shooting a deer or shooting at a bad, evil, wrongful, dangerous, mislead enemy, a stranger? regards Amadeus S.
