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.
