The Okinawa diet emphasizes eating plenty of veggies and fatty fish.www.prevention.com
Yeah fatty fish is very healthy. Was my favorite when I lived in Japan.
No.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
I was hoping one day to be called an extremist.

Plus the thought of eating fish and vegetables for breakfast kind of turns my stomach
Sushi for brekky is bomb.

Possibly
Out of interest, do you see a difference between accidental or unavoidable killing versus either deliberate or in service of your needs?
No judgement here, just curious on your views.

No, they don't. Their diet is low fat, high carb with only about 1% of their caloric intake being from meat.
What Is the Okinawa Diet? Foods, Longevity, and More
The Okinawa diet is high in vegetables and carbs and based on the traditional foods of Okinawa islanders in Japan. This article explores the diet's primary foods, health benefits, and possible drawbacks.

If one specifies that all human life is sacred, then sure.

Certainly. I accidentally/unavoidably step on ants, there's no malice involved
Not sure what you mean by "in service of your needs" ... A nutritional belief? An availability belief? Or...?

Same here as most of the meat I eat is some sort of fish, such as yesterday when I had flounder.

A common denominator with them is that they have mostly a plant-based diet but with occasional seafood.

I don't think so

Sorry, clumsy wording. Just meant animals being killed to meet demands you have, even if you're not the one doing the killing. Food is the most obvious one. Leather. Religious sacrifice. Anything, really.

Oh ok. Well, I can only speak for myself of course. I'm virtually vegan in my diet, vegetarian "at worst" - such as eating out where others have chosen the venue, I'm comfortable being a backslider. I have one or two leather items, remnants from being "just" a vegetarian, and chucking them won't bring back those killed. I realise I take medication that has been tested on other species, I hope there'll be an end to that; it makes me feel uncomfortable. And possibly hypocritical. Anyway, I try to do my bit and be the cause of as few "unnecessary" deaths as realistically possible. There's a lot of grey, but I try my best rather than not because of me not being "perfect" in my choices.
Is that what you meant?

Your prerogative, but to not even offer a reason tells me that I wasted my time even responding to your post, so maybe this is just your m.o.

In addition to upping your nutrient intake, reaching those minimums may add years to your life. A 2017 meta-analysis published in the International Journal of Epidemiology found that a higher consumption of fruits and vegetables is associated with a lower risk of mortality from all causes, including heart disease and cancer...
When it comes to longevity, it's the overall eating pattern, rather than one food or food group, that's key. A Mediterranean diet remains one of the gold standards for living longer and more healthfully. This pattern is characterized by a high intake of fruits and vegetables; whole grains; pulses; healthful fats from nuts, olive oil, and avocado; and herbs and spices. It includes seafood a few times a week. The Mediterranean diet also includes moderate consumption of dairy, eggs, and wine and limits the intake of meat and sweets...
To Mediterranean-ize your meals, replace butter with nut butter or avocado on toast and trade it for extra virgin olive oil to sauté vegetables. Snack on fresh fruit with nuts, olives, or roasted chickpeas, and keep meals simple.
