Anyway, everything in moderation - even H2O can kill you if you drink too much of it as shown, e.g., with ecstasy over-hydration deaths. Dihydrogen monoxide - can hydrate you, and if over done over-hydrate you. <br /><br />As to substituting all meat with soya - soy protein has an allergen issue - not that surprising given that our ancestors didn't get to eat processed soy. <br /><br />I would say that it would be dangerous to substitute meat with processed soy products in the diet of a child. This is serious stuff. By all means moderate the amount of red meat in the diet, but don't exclude it in its entirety. <br /><br />Then there are other 'meats' like white meat. Fish, poultry, etc. We should not exclude these from the diet of children - this would be very foolish, particularly if it is done as a whim or based on ignorance. <br /><br />By all means moderate a child's intake of processed meats. Same goes for too much cheese. The trick is a balanced diet that includes vegetables, fruit, and meat of various kinds with processed meat in moderation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34112832.post-91309584732135639682009-08-18T20:06:15.463+01:002009-08-18T20:06:15.463+01:00Just substitute soya/tofu for the meat and add a b...Just substitute soya/tofu for the meat and add a bit of tomato ketchup and the kids won't notice. After all, soya mince in chilli non carne, cottage pie, or spaghetti soyognese tastes the same as meat!Armchair Sceptichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06700172701458170654noreply@blogger.com
