How do you view vegetarian diets strictly following Aayurveda? Are they better for our health than the diets containing meat?
Any proper human diet contains meat. It is not possible now to eat a nutritionally complete vegan diet without taking about 12 supplements/day. It was not possible at all before about 100 years ago. This is why there is no archeo/antrhro evidence of vegan societies in the past; it was not possible. I do think you can be healthy on an ovo/pescetarian diet full of plants, but is difficult.

I don't agree. I and many others in North India have been on vegetarian diets for many ages. Upto now I've never had any nutritional deficiency and have never taken supplements.
Yes, I agree that anthropologically humans had been eating meats and plants equally and the human teeth are enough evidence to this. But there had been civilizations even at least 2000 years ago who by faith chose to be vegan.
