As per certain health experts, meat eaters  are predisposed to several health challenges. However, this perception can be questioned on various grounds. 

The vehement lobbyists vouching for non-meat nourishment profess that those consuming non-vegetarian meals makes one vulnerable to a slew of severe health hazards - that can have an enduring impact on health, by virtue of being laden with saturated and unsaturated fats that can augment cholesterol levels and precipitate umpteen illnesses such as heart disease, liver dysfunction and even bowel cancers. Several studies have attributed a spurt in cardiac conditions in western conditions to regular eating of various flesh, especially the one derived from lamb, beef and pork. 

However, the former view is comprehensively quashed by the advocates of meat products. As per them, the fears expressed  by vegetarians hold little substance; it is not the food derived from cows, goats, or chicken, exposing people to diseases, but the sedentary lifestyles; a feature affecting even vegans in equal measures. They often cite the historical evidence of meat being a fulfilling nourishment  to counter the claims of  the latter by quoting that eskimos completely relied on meat, and sustained a robust health, until development touched them, and they adopted indolent ways of life.    

Similarly, this nourishment is a rich source of protein, iron, and vitamins: B12, and D, that are hard to derive from other options since cereals, vegetables and fruits have these in either complex form, or minuscule quantities. To corroborate, athletes in endurance sports, soldiers and those working in taxing conditions are recommended this nutrition regularly.  

In hindsight, quite contrary to the modern perception, food derived from the flesh of animals, birds and fish, is laden with abundant nutrients that if taken in sync with active lifestyle, can bolster well being.
