The value of a plant-based diet for improving overall health has become a hot topic of late. Following is a description of a dialogue in Greece between two knowledgeable Greek citizens. For the following, I’ll simple refer to them as Mr. Sarkis and Mr. Goulas.

I am an active 78-year young guy with the very good fortune of being in excellent health. For my entire life I've been a meat eater--nothing like a good steak. Most recently I've been doing considerable reading about nutrician, in particular about plant-based diet vs animal-based diet. I've reached the conclusion that the best way to prolong my active life style is by moving to a vegetarian diet, or even to vegan, I would be grateful for comments from others. For instance, is there any great advantage to vegan over vegetarian? Are there dangers for someone my age to make such a shift?
