I think I could live without meat, excluding chicken, however (I eat chicken in spite of bird flu)
Latelly I became more attracted to fish and sea food and vegetables (but not all).
Scientists at the Dunn Human Nutrition Unit and the Open University compared a red meat diet and a vegetarian diet.
Their study, published in Cancer Research, found the red meat diet was associated with a higher level of damage to the body's DNA.
Previous work suggests regular meat eaters are significantly more likely to develop bowel cancer.
Last year the Dunn team published a study suggesting the chance of developing the disease was a third higher for people who regularly ate more than two portions per day of red meat compared with those who ate less than one portion per week.
