Now there is the science to back up this old mutt’s suspicions. Recent research out of the US saw a review conducted of 18 separate studies, which involved 160,000 participants, that looked at the relation between the consumption or avoidance of meat and psychological health.
The researchers found that meat eaters had better mental health compared with those who avoided meat, who were subject to significantly higher risk rates of depression, anxiety and or self-harm behaviours.
