I don't think prion disease currently is a significant enough risk to make it an argument against eating meat. It's a rounding error compared to for instance increase in colon cancer

I eat meat occasionally as well. I tried going vegetarian for a six months, but I lost an unhealthy amount of weight (my BMI dropped from 19.2 to 17.8) and I think the health risk from malnutrition, as you also mention having struggled with, is much more severe than that of prion disease

Yeah this is exactly the situation I find myself in. I regret the ethical and environmental consequences of eating meat, but I found it very hard to replace it completely and still have a balanced diet.
