To back the claim that meat is the cause of asthma. The quality of air you are raised in (at infancy to toddler-hood) has a much stronger affect.

I will agree that there are aspects of our diet as a nation that are not good for our health at all, but balance is the key. While it is true that excessive red meat consumption causes everything from heart disease to colon cancer, I've never known a vegan who was in good health after more than a month or so on the diet (at least not what I would consider good health).

Again, balance is the key, not extremism, when it comes to diet. Oh, that and the near complete absence of anything that has been submerged in hot oil or grease!
