    This is interesting, because it contradicts other studies. Here is a post I made recently which looked at some recent information which kind of came to the opposite conclusion.

    Although one thing you do need to be careful of if not eating meat is Vitamin B12 deficiency. But even meat eaters can become deficient in that if their digestive system struggles to absorb it.

    Also, everyone is different. For me personally, if I eat red meat I get a terrible stomach ache. The same was true with my mum. I seem to digest fish easily though.

    But to be fair, there's a huge difference between good quality fresh meat and the kind of rubbish processed meat that a lot of people eat, e.g. burgers, sausages, processed ham, etc. And also, I'm sure there are many "vegetarians" who have very unhealthy diets, simply because they cut out meat without any knowledge of good nutrition. You still need to make sure you get your protein and nutrients.
