For what it's worth, there is a sizeable amount of evidence linking Blood Type and genetic precursors for the 'ability' to be vegetarian or not.
Quote:
Type A ("for agrarian") flourishes on vegetarian diets, "the inheritance of their more settled and less warlike farmer ancestors," says D'Adamo. The type A diet contains soy proteins, grains, and organic vegetables and encourages gentle exercise.
The nomadic blood type B has a tolerant digestive system and can enjoy low-fat dairy, meat, and produce but, among other things, should avoid wheat, corn, and lentils, D'Adamo says. If you're type B, it's recommended you exercise moderately.
The "modern" blood type AB has a sensitive digestive tract and should avoid chicken, beef, and pork but enjoy seafood, tofu, dairy, and most produce. The fitness regimen for ABs is calming exercises.

It was an interesting book. I didn't read it so much for the dieting instructions, as most diets have a great deal of 'fad' to them, but because it continued a series of research about health, blood type, and meat consumption.
I'm definitely one who cannot subsist on an "agrarian" diet. Even taking the necessary supplements, I become noticeably less coordinated and irritable if I don't have a high-protein meat source every 2-3 days. It got to the point where I would go out just to buy a bag of beef jerky in the middle of the night. My girlfriend laughs at me sometimes when I start craving meat.. I NEED MEAATTTT..
I'd be curious, Lucifer.. if you know what blood type your wife is. I'm betting B+.
