Sorry to jump in here in media res.  Are you implying, Wally, that  
your "openness" towards other ways of eating is driven by a lack of  
belief that a diet based on meat, fruit veggies, and nuts is the best  
diet for humans?  Or are you just pointing out with your words above  
what an accepting human being you are?
