@CrohnsCarnivore @SteAssent We do have higher forms of data. There is a meta analysis on this topic. Only semi vegetarians had a higher risk of depression. Vegans did not have a higher risk of depression. There is also an RCT and it shows reduction of meat improved mood lol. https://t.co/I8rF18vjF8 https://t.co/fenr7AwtGQ

To be clearer, in this RCT mentioned two tweets above, a vegetarian diet appeared to improve several mood scores, while neither a pescatarian diet nor an omnivorous diet containing other meats appeared to be similarly effective: https://t.co/umDvyKRZHE

@DavidClothier5 @standardnews @ChrisGPackham There is some evidence to suggest that reducing animal product consumption results in better mental health (e.g. https://t.co/gLu3o8T1r6), perhaps because of many lifespan-shortening compounds found therin.
