- Meat is the best source of vitamin B12, a vitamin necessary to nervous and digestive system health.

- A meat-centered diet can sometimes help with weight loss. It takes fewer calories to get protein from lean meat than it does from vegetarian/ vegan options.

- Individuals who stop eating meat and dairy products are at risk of not getting enough calcium, vitamin D, protein, vitamin B12, zinc and iron in their diets; What happens then? Insufficient calcium and vitamin D can compromise bone structure. Lack of zinc can hinder growth in children. B12 and iron assist production of red blood cells, which deliver oxygen throughout the body. Proteins are essential for building and maintaining muscle and keeping our brains healthy.
