Nutrition Question: Vegetarian or Organic meat?

OK I haven’t eaten beef, pork or ham etc since 1996. I stopped eating chicken/turkey in 1997 and I started eating it again 2004 (thinking I was eating too many carbs). I’ve always eaten fish/seafood. I’m allergic to soy and tree nuts. So protein is hard for me to get.

At McGill University I took a food science class (with three registered doctors specializing in food science) and we addressed this issue.

The facts:

Typically, those who eat no meat live longer than those who eat meat several times a week.

A vegetarian diet can result in health complications too, such as low iron and a lack of complete protein. If you want to keep your vegetarian diet but cannot consume soy, a mix of beans and rice is your best option to get complete proteins.

Some meats are healthier than others – chicken and fish are preferable to beef and pork.

Their conclusion:

The healthiest lifestyle involves eating fish regularly (2 – 3 times per week), and eating a small portion of other meat such as chicken once or twice a month, while also consuming complete proteins (i.e. beans and rice) on occasion.
