First cup of night coffee

Google tells me (or rather, people of my blood type) that I should be a vegetarian.

Indeed, it is rather odd, that I, a rather carnivorous creature, should actually be born a herbivore, with the mechanisms of being able to digest the greens easily. The table below was taken from http://www.drlam.com/blood_type_diet/

According to Dr Peter D' Adamo who did a groundbreaking research on blood type and the food we can eat, these are his proposed history of the different blood types:

Blood type O: Are the oldest blood type in history, making them more carnivorous. Therefore, Dr. Peter D'Adamo suggests that they should eat more red meat and abstain from cauliflowers, beans, wheat etc.

Blood type A: Are the cultivators, and the second oldest blood type. They are herbivores and therefore, should observe a more vegetarian-like diet, comprising of more soy products like tofu :)

Recommended: vegetables, seafood, tofu, beans, grains, legumes and food

Not Recommended: Meat, dairy products, kidney beans, lima beans and wheat

Recommended for weight loss: Vegetables, pineapples, vegetable oil and soy food.

Blood type B: Are the omnivores, they have a strong digestive and immune system, they are able to eat meat and vegetables well, therefore, making it all the more important for them to consume a balanced diet

Blood type AB: the newest, most recently evolved from type A and B. Recommended diet include - meat, seafood, dairy products, tofus, legumes etc.

Of course, am still not sure as to how much truth this theory proves to be, as we should be eating balanced amounts of food and not leaning particularly to one side. Also, I am convinced that I am no eater of pineapples as more often than not, my stomach will feel weird after having pineapples. Therefore, though this may serve as a good guideline, there are also many other things that affect a good diet we should eat.

(and then again, i am not very inclined to adopting a vegetarian lifestyle. uh. yet. )
