Nutrition is something that I would cover in case I don't want to eat meat anymore, Andi really do not expect this to be a non solveable problem. most things I have seen (although i have not deliberatly looked into this topic) seem to indicate that vegitarias are jsut as healthy or even healthier than non vegitarians. Vegans migh have some issues (Vitamin b12 and Iron for women) but those can be easily fixed by taking pills.

There are definetly no major heath issues with vegitarism since lots of people live that way and have no obvious problems (and doctors who check their health don't find anything wrong) If there are minor drawbacks I would be willing to accept them in case I really come to the conclusion that aninals feel pain, because the huge amount of pain I prevent would outweight small drawbacks.

Can you back up "vegitarias are jsut as healthy or even healthier than non vegitarians."?

I have read it on countless sources, and I have read nothing against it. However as I said, it is a waste of time to do deliberate research on it at the Moment. If i come to the conclusion that i have no ethical concerns with eating meat, i will continue to so. And in this case I dont have to bother with the health issues of a vegitarian diet. So this is something I do after I have made the ethical decision.

There is the occasional anecdote about a woman becoming fertile after starting to eat meat.
