I grew up on a meat heavy diet. Now I can go days without eating meat and when I do I do not eat the huge amounts. My weight stays steady and my health is good. I don't crave the fat/salt rich diet that is so common around me.
Reducing your cholesterol without medication is the best "cure" you can get. The cholesterol lowering drugs have many not good side effects. The pills that fix the side effects also have side effects and the pill that fixes those side effects side effects also has side effects. It is not a pretty picture.
So, there are very good health reasons for eating differently. There are even more ethical reasons.
I am hoping the whole rabbit meat controversy gets people thinking. If it is not okay to eat a bunny, how is it okay to eat a lamb or a suckling pig. I have never liked the idea of eating veal. Now I am clearer on why not.
