    Back when the Mediterranean diet was discovered by scientists to be a very healthy diet (1960s), there were actually countries in Europe where people lived even longer: Switzerland, Netherlands, Iceland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway. In spite of the fact that in these countries people ate a much higher rate of meat and dairy. I think the main issue is ultra-processed foods, not the amount of animal-based foods in your diet.

      Ethnic cuisines are a great resource for those on a fully plant based diet. They are often more plant based, and are often easy to modify to be completely plant based. Tofu has been a staple in Asian populations for thousands of years, and Asians like the Japanese are consistently among the longest living populations by country.

      @@someguy2135 The diets in the "blue zones" are largely not as he describes. For example, the Okinawians eat seafood and pork, even more pork than national average, this information is coming from the local department of agriculture. Buettner however looks at the famine years after WW2 when there were almost no pigs left and claims this to be the Okinawian diet, what a joke. Search for "Okinawa pigs from the sea" how Okinawians re-started their pig-farming after the war. He also got the diets in other "blue zones" wrong. I don't know if he's just ignorant or lying to sell books.

Okinawans eat fish, meat, dairy, and grains like rice in much smaller amounts."-GoodHousekeeping Meat is 1% of their diet!

Fish get their Omega 3 from eating algae, or smaller fish who do so. Plant foods like ground flax and walnuts provide ALA omega 3 that the human body can convert to DHA/EPA to some extent. Algae based supplements ensure sufficient DHA/EPA as insurance.

    The healthiest, most vibrant, longest living populations on Earth eat little or no meat. The Blue Zone currently with the longest lifespan are the Seventh Day Adventists of Loma Linda California. They are taught that their bodies are temples and are encouraged to not eat meat. The vegans among them are the healthiest. They have the lowest chance among the SDA's of ischemic heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, and multiple types of cancer. Only the vegan dietary group among them had an average BMI in the recommended range.
    "SEE THAT YOUR DIET IS 95-100 PERCENT PLANT-BASED
    People in four of the five blue zones consume meat, but they do so sparingly, using it as a celebratory food, a small side, or a way to flavor dishes.
    *Research suggests that 30-year-old vegetarian Adventists will likely outlive their meat-eating counterparts by as many as eight years.*

    I have no doubt that a "more" plant-based diet is beneficial, but, to be fair Mr. Buettner understates our ancestor's reliance on meat, Indians and buffalo, and African Hunter Gatherer tribes. Reliance on super-processed foods is the main culprit.

      Most people overestimate the role of meat in the diet of our ancient ancestors, since the bones from their hunt are better preserved than the plants that they ate. Plants were a more consistently available source of nutrients for them. Unless they figured out a way of preserving the meat, they would have to eat it before it went bad.
