Those who lived in the vegetarian period from Adam to Noah lived lives ranging from Adam 930 years to Methuselah who's recorded to live the longest in the Bible approx: 969 years.

Vegetarianism is not the reason they lived so long...or rather, that those following the Flood did not. It has to do with sin and the major change in the atmosphere after the Flood.

God would not permit the eating of animals in Gen 9:6, and in Acts 10 if it was harmful. You can NOT justify vegetarianism in the Bible...it is just not there.

No not vegetarism exclusively, but in reading the Bible as well as numerous articles regarding Diet and Health, it appears that the human body was not designed for many of the animal products we tend to consume, in fact one of the causes of colon cancer is due to undigested red meat.

The Bible does not talk of consuming the amount of meat that we eat, the diet of the Bible seems to be based on a Mediterraniean style diet as eaten by the Israelites and Jesus.

This topic is of concern as this Healty Lifestyle of eating that Doctor's are recommending seems to be the diet of the Bible which of course makes total sense.
