Listen, there is no right answer, your health is a complicated issue, I avoid meat, poultry, and pork, and most animal based foods because of the high fat content and cholesterol, but mainly because of the animal abuses on the farm and at slaughter facilities. I hate the fact that an animal has to die, humanely or not, just so I can stuff my face. So what can you do? You can start to trade out animal-based foods for natural, unprocessed, whole grains, plants, vegetables, and fruits.
Things to watch out for are cruciferous vegetables, tofu and soy, as they adversely affect the thyroid and your hormonal system, whether you are male of female. Basically, if something tastes disgusting, like tofu, don't force yourself to eat it, don't try to smother it with some sauce or something, just avoid it.
I love big salads with dressing, try the vegan dressings in moderation, or pick a lowfat dressing, as I said, try to transition, but don't beat yourself up over it. Basically, avoid meat, poultry, pork as avoiding those foods are the major areas that will promote good health and hopefully reduce the need for factory farming by reducing the demand for it.
I know bananas have a bad rep, but they are good for you and are a handy, quick breakfast on the run, and will help prevent high blood pressure and stroke.
