I've heard the human body wasn't designed to consume meat, but you appear to have looked into it. Can you offer up a few other facts of any kind?
Thanks leggy blonde,

Well, I haven't really researched it in any depth, and I haven't really thought about it for a while. Thus, my information may be off or out-dated. The thing is, the stomach produces an enzyme to digest beef and pork - stop eating those for a time, and the body won't produce the enzyme. If you then eat beef or pork you have a horrid time trying to breakdown the meat and from my own experience it is good to stick close to a bathroom.
Since digestion of the meat requires a purely optional very specialized enzyme to digest, this leads me to believe that eating beef and pork to be purely optional and removing them from the diet neither harmful or beneficial (as many vegetarians will try to tell you). Thus beef and pork (and horse, deer, elk, goat .. "red" meat") are more of a bonus to get additional amino acids and protein. While the body requires vitamins that come from vegitables to function.
