I eat meat and I'm never constipated.

omnivore
Animal that feeds on both plant and animal material. Omnivores have
digestive adaptations intermediate between those of herbivores and
carnivores, with relatively unspecialized digestive systems and gut
micro-organisms that can digest a variety of foodstuffs. Omnivores include
humans, the chimpanzee, the cockroach, and the ant.

John, your thinking is completely dominated by radical animal rights dogma
and extremist diet theories. Reform yourself or get used to a life of
marginalization.
