I'm in good enough health already, aside from the low blood pressure and mild anemia. I don't really eat meat all that much since I'm picky about where it's from and it's more expensive. The ones that come from those factories leave a waxy aftertaste and are kinda like styrofoam. I eat lotsa fish though. I love me some eel sushi.
My cat has cut back on the amount of meat he eats. He is getting old so he kills fewer mice and almost never eats a baby rabbit any more. He eats his Friskies crunch chunks.
I gave up meat, poultry and fish when I was 21. I'm 62 now, still vegetarian, and am in excellent physical health and basically fairly happy most of the time. (Haven't always been happy - several long phases of depression in the past - but they had nothing to do with diet.) Spiritual? I leave that to others to judge.
Vegans are not the same as vegetarians. They eat no animal products whatsoever - which is why they are at high risk of vit B12 deficiency, anaemia, and then osteoporosis in early old age, average onset at around seventy for men and earlier for women.
A person who doesn't eat meat, poultry or fish is a vegetarian; we eat eggs, dairy products, and also get plant proteins from combinations of grains, pulses, seeds and nuts. Vegetarians rarely suffer health problem unless they subsist on junk foods.
Nope. "Variety is the spice of life" ... "He who controls the spice, controls the universe"
