Thirty-five percent of our participants indicated that declining health was the main reason they reverted back to eating flesh.For example, one wrote, “I was very weak and sickly. I felt horrible even though I ate a good variety of foods like PETA said to.”
Another wrote, “My doctor recommended that I eat some form of meat as I was not getting any better. I thought it would be hypocritical of me to just eat chicken and fish as they are just as much and animal as a cow or pig. So I went from no meat to all meat.”
The most succinct response was by a man who wrote, “I will take a dead cow over anemia any time.”
That’s what the Psychology Today article named as the number one reason vegetarians go back to eating meat: poor health.
