I'm a blood type O who was a vegan/vegetarian throughout the 90s. I was never happy or well on a veg diet & have recovered my health & sanity the last 10 years by including animal foods in my diet. If you're happy as a veg O that's great. I don't think veganism is healthy for anyone but that's my opinion........based on 20 years of experience.

I'm not sure that there is really any science supporting type O as the "meat eater" and I'm not sure this thread has much prospect for developing into a constructive discussion.
That said, I'm also type O and don't do well without animal protein, although I would be very surprised to learn that one had much to do with the other.

Hmmm, well, there are many happy and perfectly healthy vegans who would disagree with you.
Regardless, this is off-topic for the Vegetarian Food forum, so I'm moving the thread to another forum where you're free to argue your point of view.
Different people have different dietary needs. Some do fine as vegetarians or vegans, others would die or have serious health issues on such diets. I'd be pretty unhealthy without some meat in my diet.
It was in the vegetarian forum, which was pretty insulting and intentionally confrontational, considering that she's trashing Vegans and claiming they're a religious cult, in THEIR forum. Dark of Moon moved it to Politics and Controversies, because it clearly isn't a health issue, or a food issue. Personally I think it should've just been deleted entirely. It's not controversial. Normal people with common sense don't need scientific research to conclude that blood type has absolutely nothing to do with dietary needs.

By your saying that you weren't happy as a veg leads me to believe that a lot of the issues you had were psycological rather than physiological. When you get down to it, the science is that you can get everything you need to survive in a veg diet (yes, even B12 from nutritional yeast or supplementation), but you have to be willing to accept the diet.
In Chinese medicine, of course, each person has a yin and yang a cool and heat and a wet and dry. Most probably some types are more inclined to accept a meatless diet than others. Certainly, yin types would be better suited than someone who is heavily yang. But then again, you can do anything that you put your mind to doing, regardless of that - if it means enough to you. IMHO
Veganism causes depression. Don't care that I didn't do it "right". Familiar with yin & Yang from 2 year stint in macrobiotics----- an utter crock.
