My health is not nearly what it was for the 15+ years I was vegetarian.
Some of that can of course be attributed to age, but then again, I was a heavy smoker, and used plenty of drugs when I was younger (habits which I have long since quit), so you'd think it might balance out the age thing.
I don't have a good reason why I haven't gone back to my old meat-free diet - laziness? Perhaps it's time I reconsidered.
- po 16y agoUnfortunately - and I say this as someone who doesn't eat meat - going vegetarian isn't enough to save you from bacteria. They will sometimes spray fields with contaminated animal waste which will then end up on your plate if not properly washed. Maybe if everyone was vegetarian… The food industry is under a lot of pressure to cut any corner they can. Antibiotics give a producer an edge. Something like this really needs to be an industry-wide regulation.
