Sorry was that harsh? I think I needed a bigger dinner. And this has come up before. The media seems to have some kind of illogical vendetta against fish. I'm guessing it's sponsor related but who knows.

Anyway anyone can browse through pubmed.gov and so on and decide for themselves.

Vegans can get vegan EPA & DHA supplements. Plus flax (for ALAS and as a partial help for EPA & DHA) and B12. Zinc is another common vegan deficiency but you can get plenty plus several other nutrients by eating lots of sprouted pumpkin seeds, tahini and/or hummus. For the last 2 home made is best so you can sprout the seeds and prevent the farts. The other nutrients in those 3 are similar or better to those found in whole grains, plus zinc is necessary for several functions throughout the body so it probably wouldn't be a bad idea for all types of development either. And no offense meant to be implied; there are several health advantages to veganism, probably better than being a primary carnivore. I think the ideal would be a small amount of meat, much smaller than what most people eat.
