Vegan, What is better China or India? Sati?
I know that India is more vegetarian than China but can you eat while thinking women are burned alive and widow women are treated worse than animals in meat industry in that country? India also have a very dirty environment and honestly, they prepare tastless foods. Buddhist in China are vegans including Shaolins. Shaolin kung Fu is practiced during Tang Dynasty(618-907) or earlier. Chinese only learn how to consume milk during the Mongol invasion of China(1271-1368). Chinese even non-vegetarians don't recognize milk as food from ancient times to 13th century. Buddhist also don't consume eggs. Chinese vegetarian diet is more healthier than Indian vegetarian diet. Chinese vegetarian diet or Chinese Buddhist diet is the most well planed Vegan diet in the world? It contains all the essential amino acids from tofu and soy products. It also contains omega 3 essential fatty acids EPA and DHA which they can get from seaweed consumtion and other says that seaweeds are good source of vitamin B12. So Chinese, Indian or your own Vegan diet?

Chinese Vegan Diet? What do you think?
Buddhist in China are Vegans including Shaolins. Buddhist Chinese Diet is the most well planned Vegan diet. It contains all the essential amino acids from tofu and soy products. It also contains omega 3 essential fatty acids EPA and DHA which they can get from seaweed consumtion. We can't get these omega 3 fatty acids EPA and DHA from fruits or vegetables. Some fruits, Seeds and Vegetables contains Omega 3 ALA which can be converted into EPA but the conversion rate is very low. And other says that seaweeds are good source of active vitamin B12. Beans sprouts which a staple food for Buddhist is also studied for its potential vitamin b12 content. Shiitake mushroom is the most important flavor enhancer of Buddhist Vegans because of its strong Umami or meat like taste. Shiitake mushrooms are good source of vitamin D which is not obtained from any fruits or vegetables. Buddhist in China are Vegans including Shaolins. Shaolin kung Fu is practiced during Tang Dynasty(618-907) or earlier. Chinese only learn how to consume milk during the Mongol invasion of China(1271-1368). Chinese even non-vegetarians don't recognize milk as food from ancient times to 13th century. Buddhist also don't consume eggs.

We can get B12 from Dairy and Eggs. Why eat Meat?
I'm Vegan. I don't understand why we still eat meat. We don't need meat to survive. It is not part of a healthy diet. We can get complete protein for soy products and dairy products. you can also mix different foods to get balanced protein. We can get Vitamin B12 from Milk and Dairy products However it is not Vegan. Some studies show that our Ileum produced active Vitamin B12 that we can absorb. And some foods like Nori contains more active Vitamin B12 than analogue B12. We can get omega 3 fatty acids DHA and EPA from seaweeds and Algae extract. A study found that preterm infants fed baby formulas fortified with DHA derived directly from algae gained weight faster than infants fed formula fortified with DHA from fish oil. In addition, there are no risks of harmful contaminants such as methyl mercury or dioxins, which may be present in fish and fish oils. This is especially important for pregnant and nursing women and young children. We can also make our own EPA and DHA by consuming foods which are rich in ALA. Canola, Soy, Flaxseeds are rich in omega 3 fatty acid ALA. We can balance our zinc and copper by eating gourds. Gourds are good source of Zinc and their are many vegetable that has higher zinc than its copper. However, most of vegetable s and fruits are richer in copper than zinc. But that is not a very big controversy. Spinach contains more Iron than Meat. Heme and Non-heme theory is senseless. Spinach contains Vitamin C which can improves Iron absorption and also other green vegetables that contain high iron are also high in Vitamin C. Calcium can be obtained from seed, nuts, fruits and vegetables. "Vegan Buddhist Nuns Have Same Bone Density As Non-vegetarians" http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/04/090416102302.htm We can get our daily recommendation of Vitamin D by exposing some parts of our skin in sun for at least 15 minutes. Cholesterol is necessary for healthy skin. Our body can synthesized cholesterol. Too much Cholesterol which comes from meat gives us hearth diseases. We can make retinol from Beta carotene and excess acts as antioxidant. While retinol found in liver in excess can be poisonous. Vegan and Vegetarian Diet is not only for health reasons. Its for animals. Is their anything else? You can have your own cow to get milk and chicken for egg. Its better than purchasing egg or milk where the source are often killed for meat. But Veganism is still the best for animals. Lean meat is a part of food pyramid. So what? I don't believe in food pyramid of United States. You don't need to Eat 6-11 servings of carbs to be healthy. You don't also need meat which is loaded with saturated fats and cholesterol.
