I'm Jewish, amd I take the dietry laws pretty seriously. And given the fact that Kosher meat is pretty expensive (50% more so is a rough guide), and the fact that I won't eat anything with meat in when I'm out, I end up not eating much meat. I can't say that I've felt better when I haven't been eating meat. On the other hand, I know when I stop eating fish I tend to bet a bit "down". Not sure exactly what does that in dietry terms, but I try to eat fresh fish twice a week. I end up eating some pretty nasty "vegitarian" stuff sometimes. It's not worth even bothering on most European airlines, frex.
