I seriously doubt it for myself-I'll eat raw fish but do am not interested in
raw meats. A matter of choice and habit. As for those '...who depend' on
me..., the patients I care for are, unfortunately, not free to make
significant dietary choices in their lives. There are many improvements that
can be made in the nutrition of the acutely mentally ill that are
hospitalized because they are in need of the highest level of care available,
but these are not forthcoming, especially for those also unfortunate enough
to also be detained or incarcerated.
