If a pescatarian accidentally eats red meat, will they get sick?!
I hope my question makes sense.
Answers:
A small amount probably wouldn't hurt them. But if they got a lot of it, especially if it was fatty, it definitely could give them the runs. And whoever said psychological is incorrect. If a person avoids rich food for a long time, if they suddenly eat it in great quantity, they will become ill. This is especially true of foods that are high in saturated fat.
Your body absolutely does get used to certain foods and ways of eating and can be upset when there is a big change. Ask any mom about what goes on in baby's diapers when she starts adding new things. If you've gone a long time and avoided eating tons of saturated fat, it's a bad idea to eat a bacon double cheeseburger. All the grease will upset your stomach.
If you are a pescetarian and concerned, then just confirm that whatever you're eating is free from red meat. If you have a pescetarian guest and forgot to leave the meat out of the sauce (or something), just let him or her know and allow him or her to choose whether they want to risk it or not. Even if nothing bad happens to them if they eat it, they will be angry if they found out that you knowingly gave them red meat.
Humans are omnivores, they can eat and digest both plant and animal matter. Baby's don't get sick the first time they eat meat, its because they are designed to eat it. There is no reason why a pescatarian would get sick after eating red meat unless they gorge themselves on it.
I would imagine that anyone who hasnt eaten red meat for a long time would get ill.
They don't get sick- its psychological.
