The Iron Dilemma

Again and again I come back to this problem with low meat diets- I need iron! I recently had my levels tested and was told they need to be boosted a bit. I’ve tried the ‘eat lots of non-meat iron rich foods’ and I’m just not that good at keeping it up. But every now and then, I vow to try again. In that context, I thought that this article was very informative. It talks about how the picture of vegetarian vs non-vegetarian may be more complicated than we think- which seems to be always the case these days when it comes to diet. The one annoying thing about the article, which on the whole was quite balanced, was that at the end it suddenly concludes “So don’t eat red meat, because it is bad”. Whether or not this is the case, it wasn’t a conclusion that I think was at all supported by the article. Oh well.
