Know a depressed vegetarian? Take him/her to a steak house

From Had Enough Therapy?

“We now have a new addition to the list of effective treatments for depression. The treatment is-- meat.

“Apparently, those who refuse to eat meat, on high moral grounds, are more likely to become more depressed. The possible reason, the lack of specific nutrients found in meat. 

“So, vegetarians and vegans show more depression more often than do carnivores. You probably suspected as much.

“The New York Post reports:

“A new study published by the Journal of Affective Disorders found that beef was the only food linked to a lower risk of depression….

“Researchers found that meatless diets actually led to people experiencing depressive episodes twice as often as those who eat beef.

“Nutrients found in beef — including iron, vitamin B, zinc and protein — help brain functions and may be valuable in preventing depressive episodes.”

Studies contain numbers. In the right hands, numbers can be made to do anything except walk the dog or change a diaper. Still, going with this one is a good argument against those who believe in forced vegetarianism.
