For me as an individual, actually, it's extremely necessary. If you've read my past posts on this matter, then you know I was a veg for a long time, but I have a nut allergy. When I was a vegetarian, I went into anaphylaxis way too many times. Since I began eating meat, my hospital visits are few and far between. I developed a sort of PTSD for eating *in general* when I was a veg, due to my many 'episodes', and now I have a hard time eating at all. I've resigned myself to being an omnivore, and I'm not dead because of it. I'll take that and run with it. Veg's can do what they want. I'll be eating some meat, because that reduces the prospect of me dying young.
