Animal Products

We all make our own choice as to whether we follow an omnivorous diet or one contains little or even no animal products. No one diet can serve us all. Though, for a long time, we have been taught from the media, special-interest groups and many other sources how a plant-based diet is superior to one that contains animal products. However eating a plant-only diet means we will miss out on nutrients that are so very crucial and beneficial to our health. This post really only scratches the surface of why animal products are important. Limiting amino acids: I thought I would start with protein first.
