We have a vegan where I work!
He is the sickliest person in the company with more sick leave than
anyone
else. He is constantly ill!

He is pale and painfully thin.

We all suggest a good medium-rare steak would do him wonders.


I agree, my girlfriends sister is vegetarian, and she is always ill with
colds and flu, she even had stomach/gut problems, which the doctor put
down
to her diet. We also have a good friend who is veggi, and again, she is
always ill and when she gets ill it lasts weeks, sometimes months, and
she's
totally out of action can't even get out of bed, (although it probably
doesn't help that she smokes 20 a day)

Me and my girlfriend aren't big red meat eaters, maybe a steak once a
week,
or a sausage with a fry up, but we do eat a lot of chicken and fish, and
we're both healthy, touch wood, we haven't been ill for a long while, last
time we were ill I think it was a bit of a cold, which lasted a day or
too,
before being beaten by our animal munching immune systems!

My 2 cents, eat a little of everything and it does you good. Too much red
meat is bad, but none at all is even worse!

Yep!
The same with this bloke.
He gets viral infection after viral infection.
He's always got a cold (at minimum) and has a lot of stomach problems.
When he's sick he has to stay in bed for a week at a time as he's too weak
to do anything.

Funny thing though is that I train him at the gym (I'm a gym instructor) and
just as he's making improvements he'll get sick for two weeks and ends back
at square one!
