good way that u try to follow the bible,... i do also
i remember the sentence in the first page of the bible where god wrote: fruits should be your food, and herbs should be your meat.
so maybe we need it, but just a little bit of it. i do not know if you know about the qumran rolls that were found years ago. these are not parts of the bible but jesus spoke about nutrition in it ... jesus said he only ate fruits and added only very little amounts of veggies.
and it is a fact that jesus and all his followers where strict vegetarians. the bible today tells us a different stories but only because some stupid people have changed some parts of the bible, that they can continue meat eating ...
time will tell me if i need the veggies or not, so i will experiment a little bit and keep you posted.
