Dr. William Harris has a website all about the scientific basis of vegetarianism. I went to one of his speeches on Maui and he seems to be a pretty healthy guy. http://www.vegsource.com/harris/index.htm

And one of my favorite magazines that has beautiful recipes and excellent articles is Vegetarian times.

With compassion and aloha.
