Maybe so, but according to the meat>acid>tension theory, shouldn't the
adding of meat, while making me less hungry, also make me more tense?

Regarding stomach capacity training.. when I eat raw vegan, I often end up
eating more food than my stomach wants because my brain tells me I need it.
Pushing that even further in the interests of stomach capacity training
would be pretty darn unpleasant.  When eating becomes unpleasant, something
ain't right, it seems to me.
