→Daniel quote: new section
== Health benefits unmentioned ==
== Health benefits unmentioned ==
This article could be expanded by commenting on many of the well-known health benefits of a vegetarian/vegan diet. Medical experts know vegetarians generally have lower risks of cancer, heart disease, osteoperosis, obesity, etc. Also, is it really fair to put "inhumane" in quotes as is done on the article? It makes the concerns of vegetarians and vegans seem crazy. --[[User:Stirlatez|Stirlatez]] 22:38, 1 July 2008 (EDT)

I don't think this quote expressly supports vegetarianism at all. It only implies that there was some suspect culinary practice among the Babylonians that was causing them to be thinner and look older than their age. For all we know, they may have been using some semi-toxic herb to season their meat, or some minor disease was affecting their livestock. If all they were eating was pure vegetables and water, then they would be unaffected, but so what? There's plenty of cases in the Bible where people are encouraged to eat meat. I don't find this convincing. -[[User:Foxtrot|Foxtrot]] 01:01, 22 October 2008 (EDT)
