RE: digesting meat

[Guest guest]

I've heard similar things (that if you don't eat meat for a while your

body can have trouble digesting it), but I don't know if it is true.

 

From personal experience, the few times I " caved " after making the

switch, I did get sick. But I wonder if that was more psychosomatic

(sp?)

 

As far as the theory, as I understand it the problem is more likely to

be an issue regarding food poisoning. That people with regular

exposure to the bacteria found in meat or a little e.coli or whatever

might not get as sick off of it. Like they have a tolerance, I guess.

I have no idea if it is true or not.

 

It seems pretty silly to convince a vegetarian to eat meat once a week.

If this girl is serious about becoming a vegetarian, then it won't be a

problem. If she isn't serious, then I would think she won't be off

meat long enough to have anything be an issue.

I am vegetarian for health reasons, so I have no strict moral stance against

meat eating. Occasionally, just to make someone happy I will try a tiny bit of

something they have prepared special. It doesn't make me sick, but it

definately slows down the digestive system and I end up getting gas and

constipated.
