If you have not read it, you have to read The China Study.  An excellent book on the detrimental actions of animal protein on the body.

The author points out that the body treats red meat like an infection, white blood cells rise in response.

Now, people have responded to me that they believe the body looks for certain foods when it is healing or repair mode, such as having an acute illness like the flu.

Now think about it.  Unless we are living in a vastu pristine environment, not a stress (emotional, mental, environmental, etc) than we are in some sort of repair mode.

I experienced this at dinner the other night with someone who is just coming out of the flu.  After eating a redmeat dinner, they were followed by a fever. 

So what was the body doing? 

How does the body battle an infection?  By running a fever to burn it up.
