Well, I read and appreciate the well written and referenced article. My son has been vegetarian for more than 20 years. He suggested I watch Forks Over Knives 6 years ago. After seeing it, I switched immediately to plant based food. He then went vegan as well. My mother had CV events for several years, arthritis, sleep issues, depression and had her last stroke at 67. This was a big influence in my going vegan. At 64, my labs are [emoji108], no inflammation or arthritis and feel great. The more I learn about animal harvesting and big pharma hand in glove, the more disillusioned I am in the FDA, Department of Ag and their duty to protect animals, the public’s nd environment. I read today our rivers are polluted with antibiotics from animal production for human consumption.
When someone asks why vegan, my flip reply is I’m trying to save our planet. The more thoughtful response is abusing/torturing and killing animals is unnecessary, unhealthy, unkind, unsustainable and unethical. I do believe in time, everyone will have to go vegan. Although it’s a topic that’s “not on the front burner around here” it should be. Avoidable and nutrition-related healthcare costs and conditions can sure put a crimp in retirement assets and activities. If money really does matter most, do your own research, look at the evidence, examine the data, decide to finish life strong and as a kind, compassionate, environmentally responsible human being.....and go vegan!
I’ll finish the rant now; and before you jump on this post to totally correct/bash me, first please watch Forks Over Knives and Earthlings. Did you notice the IPO for Beyond Meat? It does give me hope for the future.
might be worth a look.
