Awesome–great interview! But you totally left a cliffhanger–his conclusion (I think) that vegetarianism is not a clearly morally superior approach, and yet he chooses to be a vegan–why? I must know! 🙂
He told me off line that it’s more out of habit. Nicolette Niman also doesn’t eat meat. I think in both of these cases, they just don’t really have the taste/urge to eat meat, although they now feel that it’s healthy and environmentally beneficial.
OK thanks Diana!
What about fish or shellfish? What do those people do for those nutritional requirements that you talked about so much that are only available from animals?
I’m not understanding your question. One who eats fish and shellfish is technically not a vegetarian.
I guess I was trying to ask if Andrew and Nicolette eat any animal products and if not how do they get their nutritional requirements fulfilled that are only available from animal products as you have shown in your other posts and other interviews such as the one with Liere Keith.
I believe that you can be ok on a vegetarian diet with enough dairy and eggs (and some folks consider fish ok on a vegetarian diet for some reason) however being only vegan is not a nutritionally complete diet. I should also include that many of my nutrition clients are recovering from vegetarianism – it doesn’t always work for everyone.
