Recently a post was closed which had spawned a debate about the disadvantages of being a vegetarian or vegan. It began with an interesting article.
Here is another article about the possible dangers of such a diet.
Why You Should Think Twice About Vegetarian and Vegan Diets It may be the same article as previously linked; I'm not sure.
I am interested in hearing from people who have chosen to follow a diet that includes a bit of everything--why you like it, how it makes you feel, how your health is. I was a vegetarian for over ten years and only recently began adding meat and fish to my diet once or twice per week. I found that the vegetarian diet was either extremely boring or very labor-intensive if one wanted more creative dishes. Although I still don't eat things that walk around on four legs, I am finding my diet to be much more interesting and frankly, I feel better. (My general health is excellent in terms of bp and cholesterol, etc.)
I am NOT trying to stir
any pot. I am truly interested in people's reasons for eating a meat-inclusive diet. I am NOT interested in hearing why we should not. We have had an abundance of reporting from that faction. Now I would like to hear from the other side.
If anyone has any more links to articles about the subject, I would appreciate having them linked on this thread.
