Good points, I noticed that also.
I might try eating animal food only meals once in a while, when I eat alone. I doubt I would animal foods exclusively for long periods, partly because I like to share meals with friends, I go out to a restaurant with friends at least once every 2 weeks. Yeah, I know if I were determined, I would order meat-only from the restaurant, but I probably won't.
I love the idea of a meat-only diet, just for the propaganda retaliation against the vegans the vegetarians! - LOL - I am an ex-vegetarian ;-)
