I pinched this text from a wikipedia article. I believe it is highly relevant.
Meat Sweats
A term used to describe a well known malady and byproduct of mass animal protein consumption.
Degrees of severity
Meat sweats are generally categorized on a scale of varying degrees starting at third degree, being a mild meat sweat, to a first degree meat sweat being very severe in nature. Generally, pork and chicken dishes will result in third degree meat sweats, depending on the gross amount consumed, and beef will result in a first degree meat sweat. A first degree meat sweat can result in a temporary debilitating condition causing one to feel symptoms of lethargy, depression and severe apathy. The spiciness of the meat consumed, in a counterintuitive outcome, does not necessarily increase amount of meat sweats that one experiences. This may have to do with the nature of meat sweats, which have a base of lipids rather than perspiration.
Meat Sweat Moans
Upon onset of severe cases of Meat Sweats, a hyper audible moaning or wailing sound has been witnessed by several parties. Although it can not be confirmed, many scholars maintain that this wailing is a direct result of mankind's mammalian instinct - and this moan is an innate trait used to warn off predators during time of mass carnal feeding.
Doesn't the explanation of the audible moans seem a little counter-intuitive? I mean, there you are, all sweaty and lethargic after carnal mass-consumption of a downed Woolly Mammoth... doesn't that make you all the more vulnerable to predators? It seems to double their chances of finding you, because not only can they hear you moaning, but they smell your meat-sweaty ass.
