Question: Does being healthier help with your mental well being as well.?
when i was vegetarian, i of course ate more than enough veg and fruits, was right at 5'11 200lbs down from 260, and my depression wasnt enough to interfere with my life.

After eating meat again and other bad food, or "fatty meat", my depression was kicked into over drive, i gained weight, felt more fatigued, and ended up in the e.r. for attempted suicide. all that happened a few months after i started eating fatty meat again.
