Where’s the beef? It should be on
your plate, apparently.
A new review published
in the journal of Food Science and Nutrition has found that people who
consume meat have lower
levels of anxiety and depression than do vegans and
vegetarians. Hah! I’m licking my chops over this story.
Literally.
The extensive analysis examined 20 studies associated
with meat consumption and mental health and found an undeniable association
between vegetarianism or veganism and poorer mental health outcomes, according
to Business Insider.
The studies were conducted from 2001 to 2020 and
represented almost 172,000 people from across four continents. Respondents were
provided questionnaires in which they stated whether they ate meat or not and
then answered questions about whether they experienced anxiety and depression.
The review will not make so-called “progressives”
happy. During last year’s Democratic primary, current Vice President Kamala
Harris insisted that "government can and should" regulate meat
consumption in the interest of climate consciousness as well as healthy eating.
Bill Gates, billionaire Microsoft founder and world-class do-gooder, recently
decreed that the planet’s wealthier nations should stop eating beef altogether
and instead switch to consuming lab-grown or plant-based "meats" to help
avoid an otherwise looming climate disaster. Gates claimed, "You can get
used to the taste difference.” Yes, and you can get used to psoriasis and
syphilis, too.
Meat-eaters are mentally better adjusted than
cud-chewers? I have no beef with that finding. I guess the vegans’ chickens are
coming home to roost.
