We are all unique. I was a vegetarian for 8 years, got fat and was sick all the time. I went back to eating meat that I raise myself, no hormones or antibiotics, no GMO food, and now I easily maintain my ideal weight, have more energy, clearer head. Furthermore, I can feed 100 people all winter if a disaster strikes near me, I could never grow enough vegetables to sustain a community in need. Glad you found what works for you!
