People who really want meat, and feel forced by circumstances to forgo something the really would rather have are going to tend to feel depressed. I don't see that in any of my vegan and vegetarian friends because they don't feel deprived in any way by their diet. Neither do I. Just make sure you get you B12 from supplements. You used to be able to get B12 from veggies before we got in the habit of washing them. B12 is manufactured by bacteria. It's in meat because the bacteria is in meat.
