Interesting article thanks for posting Linda...a new study out of Japan hinting that eating meat at least every two days during middle age may help maintain independent daily activities when older.In a totally unrelated story Japan's list of those 100 or older tops 40,000 (http://www.cbc.ca/health/story/2009/09/11/japan-centenarians-record.html)

Actually, what I thought when I read that is that apart from muscle mass, they did not find anything else negative about not eating meat, such as higher mortality. I see it almost pro vegetarian, myself! Perhaps other sources of protein may help, maybe... the subject for yet another study perhaps.

Yes they do need something more comprehensive ... because eggs after all provide a VERY complete protein!

It's jsut that I was always someone who said Americans ate "too much" protein before the Beetus caught me ...
