"Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival of life on earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet." —Albert Einstein

"It is my view that the vegetarian manner of living by its purely physical effect on the human temperament would most beneficially influence the lot of mankind." - Albert Einstein

"However, an argument from authority in favor of vegetarianism is not strong:
Einstein was a physicist, not a dietitian, statistician, psychologist, nor oracle. In fact, he is a more likely authority in debates on the existence of God, as metaphysics is only one order away from physics."

He really only came into the vegan practice in his last few years of life. He really had no concept of the nutritional aspects other than the compassion towards animals point of view

Bodybuilding requires way less protien then most people think. If you can find me a vegan powerlifter, then i will be impressed.

depends on genetics and how easy you gain mass... hard gainers need to crank protein to trigger growth...

Well, my uncle owned 5,000 acres, so I don't think those herfords were particularly stagnant. We had a hard time finding them.
Another argument could be that there were once millions of buffalo where there are none now, as far as the overgrazing goes.

and another argument could be that over grazing alone, or even primarily, did not lead to an almost absence of buffalo.
