Lisa, last year after the birth of my daughter I hemorrhaged and was on the verge of needing a transfusion. I would say for about 3-4 months I was weak, weak, weak while my iron levels were being rebuilt. My mom fed me meat and eggs several times a day. I swear I was never going to eat another piece of red meat or egg after that! But you know what, it worked. Those foods made me healthy and strong!
Can totally understand how meat would get you back on yer feet and how you feel you need it. To do physical things requires animal, animal energy = physical energy.
I couldn't believe that the beef industry in the US doesn't feed its animals grass!! Such a bizarre thing the whole industry there, I thought NZ was bad enough, or any industrial meat farming is in my opinion, but at least animals ere get to live in paddocks until their murder (pigs don't though :(... Have you seen the Meatrix films? (www.themeatrix.com)
Despite all this, I still eat meat when I feel I really need it.
