Hi, just didn't want to carry on this conversation in the protein thread, as I thought it might be diverting a bit....
Basically if anyone who was reading the protein thread was interested in finding out what qualified doctors have to say about the vegetarian diet, along with famous olympic athletes who have been vegetarian check out this site:

http://www.ivu.org/evu/english/news/.../athletic.html

I'm not going to get involved in a debate on the pros and cons of vegetarianism, but its just that I was interested and thought some other people may be too. The site also deals with other nutrients not just protein, can't really think of a way of keeping it up on the front page, so if you want to state what you think thats cool....
Please don't let it get tit-for-tat though...
Peace...
