I usually have some form of pastrami in a well sealed container in the refrigerator, this is one of my ingredients for a need-a-quick-to-prepare-meal. They last for weeks if properly sealed.

But my point wasn't really about the fitness of the specific ingredients, rather, why would I associate those with emotional distress with vegetarians? My wife and daughter are vegetarians and I have no negative associations with that lifestyle. But looking back, many emotionally distressed people that I've met have been vegetarians I think, thought I do not imply that the association also goes the other way.

I wonder if there have been studies on correlations - I should not have been able to predict that.
