Message: [QUOTE="Lefty2one, post: 2142458, member: 1001"] I agree that humans are omnivores. I'm also a firm believer in doing what you feel is best for your body and never projecting this kind of big lifestyle decision on to others. As I said earlier, I've been a vegetarian for six months and have never once told a friend/family/colleague to try vegetarianism. It's worked great for me, doesn't mean it'll work for others. Re: brain development - I don't know if what you stated is true but brain development is believed to stop around 25. So after that age I'm not sure that there will be many negatives of avoiding meat. I'm well past 25 so I'm not concerned with this, especially since I've had much more energy and my ability to focus has improved quite a bit. Another improvement I noticed since going vegetarian is that my energy is far more stable/consistent in addition to being better. I didn't realize how many protein/meat crashes I had. I used to have a propensity to nap far too often, much to my wife's dismay. Those little 20-30 minute cat naps on the couch in the evening. I've taken one nap in the last six months and it was after a night of getting four hours of sleep. [/QUOTE]
