Interesting final paragraph--I've been vegan and then pisco-vegan for two years now, and I wondered about what would happen if I ate, say, turkey thigh. There does seem to be a different issue that I might run into problems on, having to do with what types of fat one is used to.
carandol my ex-husband is vegetarian, and when we lived together I mostly cooked vegetarian because cooking two meals is more irritating for me than not eating meat. I'd eat meat occasionally -- whenever we ate out, or sometimes I'd buy myself a chicken leg or a chop or something. But it so happened one of those times that I'd by chance gone a couple of months without meat, and when I had a delicious chicken leg it gave me an upset gut. I then paid attention to how often I ate meat, and found four weeks was OK and six wasn't, and that fish counted as meat to my stomach bacteria.
(One odd consequence of this is that I tend to think of meat as a daring and interesting ingredient in dishes that are mostly vegetables, like lasagne.)
I've never tried being vegan -- when I lived with Ken I used to eat plenty of butter and cheese, probably more than now. So I don't know, but it seems to me you're making a good guess on the fats.
