Why are you asking a vegetarian/vegan newsgroup if it's OK to eat meat?

I think Rogue's question was about the physical repercussions (if any) of
going forty days with a vegetarian diet and then eating turkey.

I would think this would be the perfect place to ask such a question.

Yeah, you would think so before you encountered a post from an
insufferably daft ex-patriated American like the OP ("Mr Falafel").

After
all, people who are not vegetarians would have little or no experience with
the scenario Rogue is describing. And on the other hand, people who are veg
are more likely to have at one point eaten meat after following a lengthy
period of eating only a veg diet.

Very good point, Jay. It is one which the OP hasn't considered since
he's probably too busy trying to come up with a faux accent to match his
British (mis)spelling.

Not to say every veg does so, but the
chances of finding someone who's been there, done that are higher in a
vegetarian newsgroup than, for example, a pork newsgroup.

Hmmm, are there any pork ngs?

By the way, I don't know about turkey, but I eat smoked salmon about twice a
year when I visit relatives and follow a mostly veg diet the rest of the
year. No sickness to speak of experienced here but I think it would largely
depend on the individual and the diet followed.

It will only depend on (a) food safety and (b) amount eaten, and
possibly (c) hypersensitive conscience of a weak person. Even advanced
yogis eat meat under certain circumstances. It only seems to bother
people who are very mentally weak, if not mentally ill.
