to veg or not to veg

[Debrah]

Our bodies are amazing! Such a variety of hormones to prompt our body to go to sleep, wake up, not eat too much, eat more than we should when the summer wanes....and the one that helps us stay alive, cortisol, the stress hormone that we make to help us avoid danger, plan ahead so that we are safe, respond to bad situations....but too much and we suffer.

I was looking into this yesterday and I suddenly thought, when a person eats meat, are they not eating that animals cortisol, their stress hormones that are trying desperately to save them from a danger they cannot escape? Could this hormone that humans consume contribute to some of that bad mood that seems to disappear or fade substantially when they switch to a plant based diet? Could it be that when you eat meat, all of that fear hormone in the fibres, affects you physically?
