A vegan/plant-based diet and now we're talking! I like this list a lot!

There's very little evidence that completely abstaining from meat (animal based protein) brings any meaningful advantages from the perspective of life span. In fact in general, it's far more difficult to build a complete diet eating vegan only. I of course do think there's a moral argument to a vegan lifestyle, and am a definitely a strong proponent on that end.

Personally, I think a vegetarian diet strikes a better balance that's also more sustainable in the long term, assuming that you also do care about maximizing life span as well.

I think you've got some homework to do :-)

I abstain from red meat, but I eat plenty of chicken and fish...

Agree that eating meat at every meal is a dumb idea but is there much difference between a plant based diet and a mediterranean one in this regard ?

I guess not
